Economic Activities And Their Impacts On The Environment Of Khaplu, Gilgit-Baltistan

Abstract

This research focuses on the correlation between human beings, their economic activities and their natural environment in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. It provides an examination of how individuals have coped with and exploited their natural environment. The degree to which a society's culture is determined or influenced by their surroundings is a query that originated in the late 19th century. The emergence of environmental determinism coincided with the recognition of the environment as a pivotal influence on the development of human civilization. The significance of educators' contributions to the development of human culture was diminished starting in the latter portion of the first 25% of the twentieth century. According to their ideology, individuals' behaviors are constrained by the condition of the earth. The notion of environmental possibility arose as a consequence of this. The objective of this study is to ascertain the extent to which the local environment in a secluded mountainous area of Pakistan has shaped cultural practices, as well as the degree to which these trends have been influenced by human factors.
