Abstract
The link between the spread of diseases and the geographical environment has been made by scientists since a long time. Every
element has an entire spectrum of possible effects on a community. One of the main reasons of studying the environment is the
understanding of the way the environment conditions influence the human health and the identification of the modalities through
which the negative effects of some external factors on this universal good of the society can be reduced. The environmental
factors are in a permanent relationship with the human body and influences significantly the health status. Among these factors,
the city is present as a social structure and it occurs more strikingly in the public health, in the mental and conceptual
environment of humans. In many countries, the appearance of urban explosion induced major problems in the organization of
space and quality of life. Geography, with the help of its medical branch and through the way of mental and conceptual
approaching, represents an interdisciplinary and complex way to deal with the necessity of explaining the human health damage
due to the excess or deficiency of certain chemicals or to some complex environmental problems. In the beginning of the 21st
century, geographical environment and global health are issues of major concern. Environmental problems are more and more
taken into account at a global scale and promoting understanding of some of the planetary problems and adopting favorable
behaviors concerning the environment represent simultaneously the approach of the addressed theme. The complex connections
between the elements of the geographical environment, urban environment in relation to medical geography and environmental
psychology are analyzed under the form of case studies. The pluridisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity represent the
methodological basis applied to the relationship between the geographical environment and global health.
