| Objectives of the Course |
| To determine whether the administrative divisions of administrative geography courses comply with the geography of the field or to determine what are the main basic elements that should be followed when making administrative divisions. To ensure that administrative divisions are applied to the field by seeing them in the field rather than at the desk, to ensure that only the population criterion is not sufficient when giving administrative duties such as provincial and district headquarters to settlements, that the geographical location and functional characteristics of the settlement should also be considered, and that all kinds of theoretical information about administrative geography are given and aimed to make their applications. |
