1. Unit 2 Review: Population

2. Vocab Demography Arithmetic population density: number of people/km 2 (or mile) Physiologic population density: number of people/km 2 (or mile) of arable land Agricultural density – number of farmers per arable land Ecumene – portion of Earth’s surface occupied by permanent human settlement Nonecumene – uninhabited or sparsely populated

3. Highest Population Density Region Country – pop/km 2 East Asia South Asia Southeast Asia Western Europe 1. 2. 3. 4. Monaco – 23,6601. 2. 3. 4. 5. Singapore -6,369 Malta – 1,272 Maldives-1,105 Bahrain-1,047 Bangladesh -1,0456.

4. Some areas of North America’s population have clusters of high density areas – such as the megalopolis extending from Boston to Washington, DC. (de Blij 43) approx. with a population density of 7000+ per sq. km New York Country has a population density of 67,000 / sq. mile (Rubenstein)

5. Overpopulation Carrying Capacity J-Curve – a graph representing exponential growth S-Curve – the flattened out part of the curve represents a population size consistent with and supportable by the exploitable resource base – have reached the homeostatic plateau

6. Note: Natural increase is produced from the excess of births over deaths. www.prb.org DTM: The Classic Stages

19. Government Population Policies Expansive Population Policies – ex. Europe Eugenic Population Policies – designed to favor one racial or cultural sector, ex. Japan Restrictive Population Policies – range from toleration of officially unapproved means of birth control to China’s one child only policy (de Blij) Swedish gov’t encouraging w/ little results Catholic countries prohibit birth control yet have slow growth in close by countries, higher growth farther away. Islamic countries experience opposite.

20. Malthus & Neo-Malthusian Malthus – English economist – without checks on the population, it will inevitably increase faster than the food supplies Neo-Malthusians – advocates of population control

22. Unit 2 Review: Migration

23. Types of Movement Cyclic Movement – daily routine takes them through a regular sequence of short moves within a local area – activity spaces –Commuting –Nomadism Periodic Movement – a longer routine but still results in returning home –Migrant labor –Transhumance – system of pastoral farming in which ranchers move with the livestock

24. Migration International / Internal (inter-regional) –THINK SCALE –Migration transition – stage 2 migrants (source countries) move to stage 4 countries (destination countries) Forced / Voluntary Chain Migration

25. Migration ??? Explanations/models/yada yada Push & Pull Factors –Economic (remittances) –Environmental –Cultural –Distance decay & intervening opportunities –Chain migration Ravenstein’s Law Gravity Model – size and distance affects number of migrants
