I'm pretty sure geography covers both aspects, being science related and deals with humanities. It fits in both.

Agreed. Geography fits in both the science and humanity aspect together.

there are two aspects of geography, human geography and physical geography. The social part a humanity and the physical part a bit of science and a bit of other things. but a part of geography is related to GIS.

Actually the main aspects of geography are physical geography and human geography (social is under human geography along with some other fields).
