New cards
6

Population Distribution

  • Spread of people across the earth

  • pattern of human settlement

  • Does not change

New cards
7

Population density

  • Measure of Average population per square mile

  • Does increase

New cards
8

Why does population density / population distribution matter?

Set boundaries for electrical districts and housing

New cards
9

Ecumene

A term geographers use that means inhabited land

New cards
10

Who was Thomas Malthus

  • English economist

  • Anglican, very anti catholic

  • Worried that British population was rising to fast, especially among the poor

New cards
11

Malthusian Catastrophe

The idea that the human population will grow more then the ability to produce food bc humans grow exponentially while food grows linearly. Not True!!

New cards
12

What did Thomas Malthus want to be done?

  • Preventive checks: Birth Control, Abstinence, Moral Education (cut birth rates)

  • Negative checks: Famine, Disease

New cards
13

What did Thomas Malthus’s negative check ideas lead to?

  • Stop giving assistance to the poor

  • Irish Potato Famine and British did nothing to help

  • Social Darwinism - Herbert spencer thought Europeans were “fittest” and “most evolved” which lead to racism, white supremacy, an excuse/reason for colonialism

  • Eugenics - The practice of improving the human species by selectivity mating people with “desirable” traits.

New cards
14

Neo-Malthusianism

  • Paul Ehrlich wrote a book call “population bomb” about this theory

  • Concerns over resource depletion by over consumption

  • Sounds like….. Environmental Determinism

  • A theory extended from Thomas Mauthus’s theory but more modern

New cards
15

What is the biggest factor in why people move today?

Economics

New cards
16

Key facts about Physical factors

  • Early survival depended on food, water, and shelter

  • As population increases, population density increases

  • Most people live in midlatitudes - more moderate climates and better soil

  • Low-lying areas typically have better soil and are close to the ocean

  • Close to the ocean = good living

  • People today can move more easily

  • People move near things that make there life easier

New cards
17

Arithmetic density formula

Regions population / total area of a region

Note: Does not tell you how distributed they are in the area

New cards
18

Physiological density

  • Dividing regions population/amount of arable land

  • A high physiological density indicates that many people rely on a limited amount of arable land

New cards
19

Agricultural density

  • Number of farmers / arable land

  • Developed countries = more farmers, developing countries = more farmers

  • Tells you how developed a country is

  • Compare Bangladesh to the Netherlands

New cards
20

What does population density and distribution imply?

  • Businesses earn more when located near a large costumer base

  • Manufacturing plants are closer to large labor force

  • Urban districts are usually smaller then rural but this is changing in America

  • Ex: People want to live in America because of the economic opportunities therefore there are more people living in cities.

New cards
21

Carrying Capacity

The maximum number of individuals of a species (humans) that an environment can sustainably support without degrading the ecosystem.

New cards
22

Population composition

  • People with the same ethnic group cluster in particular regions

  • Age shapes public policy

    • Many children = schools

    • Many old people = old people homes

  • Gender of a population is effected by war, migration, mining collages

New cards
23

What do population pyramids tell us?

Gender, age, and precent of population in each group

New cards
24

Impacts of war on population

  • Affects people of all ages but more specifically men between 18-40

  • Men and women are separated therefore there is a decline in birth rates, this is called a birth deflect

  • Once war ends there is normally a baby boom

New cards
25

Baby Boom, Bust, Echo

  • Boom: A big spike in population

  • Bust: little decline until the boomers reach child-bearing age

  • Echo: spike again bc the baby boomers are having kids

New cards
26

Dependency Ratio

  • Comparing the working to the non working (working:nonworking)

  • Population pyramid data is used to estimate the dependency ratio

New cards
27

Population Pyramids: Stage 1

  • High Fluncating

  • No

New cards
28

Pronatalist vs Antinatalist

  • Pronatalist: Supports high birth rates and population growth

  • Aninatalist: Does not support high birth rates / population growth
