Due to the dissatisfaction and inhumane form arising out of quantitative revolution, the following three new concepts emerged in geography during the decade of 1970s:
1. Welfare or Humanistic Concept: This concept of human geography was mainly related to various aspects of social welfare. In this, aspects such as residence, healthcare and education were included.
2. Radical Concept: In this concept of human geography, the theory of Karl Marx was used to interpret the reasons of poverty, bonds and social inequality. The contemporary social problems were related to the development of capitalism.
3. Behavioural Concept: Along with direct experience, this concept of human geography emphasised more on the direct cognition of social sub-classes based on human races, species and religion, etc.
