Zakariya ibn Muhammad ibn Mahmud Ansari, known as Zakariya al-Qazwini (600-682 CE), was one of the greatest geographers and natural scientists of the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. He excelled in various fields of his time, such as history, natural sciences, geography, cosmology, poetry, and literature. While al-Qazwini is primarily known for his book "Ajā'ib al-Makhlūqāt" (Marvels of Creation), his work "Āthār al-bilād wa-akhbār al-ʿibād" holds significant importance in the realm of human geography.
Despite the variations in defining human and historical geography, where some consider historical geography as an independent scientific discipline and others perceive it as a subfield of human geography, human geography focuses on the spatial relationships of human activities. It encompasses population geography, historical geography, political geography, and cultural geography (ethnicity and language). From this perspective, Āthār al-bilād serves as an important source in human geography, primarily addressing the aforementioned definition in its content. Therefore, this research aims to analyze and examine this significance using a descriptive-analytical approach.
