1. Concepts from the future…

2. Overview of Basic APHG Concepts Human geography is all about identifying patterns, analyzing statistics and discovering what they can tell us about our world. We will discuss these concepts in each regional unit in Pre-AP and analyze them even further in AP Human. They are important to know and understand!!

3. Development: evolution, growth, expansion, enlargement, progress evolutiongrowthexpansion enlargementprogress More Developed Country (MDC): have a highly developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure. The criteria for evaluating the degree of economic development are gross domestic product (GDP), the per capita income, level of industrialization, amount of widespread infrastructure and general standard of living.

4. Development: evolution, growth, expansion, enlargement, progress evolutiongrowthexpansion enlargementprogress Less Developed Country (LDC):  Meets three criteria:  Poverty  Human resource weakness (poor nutrition, health, education and adult literacy)  Economic vulnerability: unstable agricultural production, lacking exports of goods and services, and the percentage of population displaced by natural disasters

5. Human Development Index (HDI) Developed by the United Nations, the HDI combines several measures of development: life expectancy at birth, adjusted GDP per capita, and knowledge (schooling and literacy).

9. Core- Periphery Model Fig. 9-22: This north polar projection of the world shows that most of the MDCs are in a core area north of 30° N latitude. The LDCs are mostly on the periphery of this map.

10. 3 important things about POPULATION More people than ever before World population has increased at a faster rate after 1950’s than ever before AND almost all population growth is concentrated in less developed countries (LDC’s)

13. World and Country Population Totals Distribution and Structure: 3/4 of people live on 5% of earth's surface! Total: 7.046 billion as of 2012 Current Population counter: http://www.worldometers.info/http://www.worldometers.info/ Five most populous regions and countries REGION POP. COUNTRYPOP. East Asia 1.5 billionChina1.366 billion South Asia 1.2 billionIndia1.237 billion Europe 750 millionU.S. 318 million SE Asia 500 millionIndonesia247 million East N. Am. 120 millionBrazil203 million

15. What can population pyramids tell us? What can we infer?

16. Describe this pyramid. What does it tell you about the country? Where might it be located? IT’S NIGERIA!!

17. Describe this pyramid. What does it tell you about the country? Where might it be located? IT’S DENMARK!!

18. IT’S JAPAN!! Describe this pyramid. What does it tell you about the country? Where might it be located? 1958: 3 RD LARGEST TYPHOON EVER

19. Demography Scientific study of population characteristics that analyzes population trends and predicts future occurrences based on current statistics Statistics such as births, deaths, income, or the incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing structure of human populations.

20. The Demographic Transition Model : seeks to explain the transformation of countries from having high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. In developed countries this transition began in the eighteenth century and continues today. Less developed countries began the transition later and are still in the midst of earlier stages of the model.

21. Demographic Transition Model Stage one ▫Birth/death rate high ▫Fragile population Stage two ▫Lower death rates ▫Infant mortality rate high ▫Natural increase high Stage three ▫Indicative of richer developed countries ▫Higher standards of living/education Stage Four ▫Birth/death rates are almost = ▫Zero Population Growth ▫Most Northern and Western Euro countries

22. Overpopulation When consumption of natural resources by people outstrip the ability of a natural region to replace those natural resources.
