1. AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY CH. 6 REVIEW
Migration

2. UNIT 2 ESSENTIAL Q
What does Population tell us about the world, its countries, & their relationships to one another?

3. CH. 6 Guiding Q
What are the factors that stimulate migration, & are all factors / migrations equal?

4. Migration??? Why do people move??? Emigration – leaving from
Immigration – going to

5. Factors that Stimulate Migration (Why Migrate???)
Conflict (Civil War)
1990s Yugoslavia: drove 3 million from homes
Rwanda: 2 million fled to Zaire & Tanzania
Sudan (Darfur) Genocide 2004
Economic Conditions
Poverty
Chance for work & better life
Political Strife
Oppressive regimes (Cuba, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Myanmar, North Korea)

6. Factors (con.) Cultural Circumstances Environmental Change
Jews to Israel
Environmental Change
Irish Potato Famine
CA earthquake = emigrations
Carrying Capacity (matrix scene)
Technological Advances
Easier to travel & move
Info availability
USA is most mobile (moving) country in the world

7. Voluntary vs. Forced Migrations
Voluntary Migration
Forced Migration
COUNTER MIGRATION: Gov’t sending back caught Illegal immigrants

8. African Forced Migration

9. Migration Methods
CHAIN MIGRATION
STEP MIGRATION

10. Ernst Ravenstein British Demographer
5 Laws of Migration
(look up Note Sheet & (Book Notes))
Gravity Model: A measure (mathematical prediction) of the interaction of places
# of migrants declines as distance they must travel increases

13. Migration – Gravity Model See Cheat Sheet!!
The Gravity Model of Migration shows how larger settlements have more to offer and are therefore more attractive to migrants. If two settlements are equidistant from an origin, more migrants are likely to travel to the larger settlement (B in the top diagram).
The model also shows that a greater distance between the origin and a possible destination equals more effort to get there. This results in fewer migrants being inclined to travel there. Therefore, despite settlement B in the second diagram being bigger, the origin is closer to A and therefore the migrants are equally distributed between the two settlements.

14. Intervening Opportunity
Presence of a closer / better opportunity diminishes attractiveness of sites further away
Might not make all the steps of your Migration (interruption)

15. Location vs. Distance Absolute & Relative Location (remember?!)
Absolute Distance
Relative Distance
Why is People’s perception of distance often distorted???

16. As distance increases, your perception of a place declines
Distance Decay ???
As distance increases, your perception of a place declines
Human activity declines as distance from the source increases (gravity model!!!)

17. Distance Decay Graph

18. The Dearborn Garden Homes 27th and State St.

23. Types of Human Movement
Activity (Action) Space – ???
Cyclic movement – ???
Seasonal Movement - ???
Nomadism - ???

24. Types of Human Movement
Periodic Movement – ???

25. DISLOCATION Sudden and Forced Migrations yield… Refugees: ???
Dislocated involuntarily from original place of settlement & unable to return
Difference between Refugee & Migrant?

28. Regions of Dislocation

1. Move only with what they can carry on their backs
2. Make 1st step on foot (bicycle, wagon)
3. Move without official documents
