Human Geography

Human Geography: Human geography is the study of human use and understanding of the world and the processes that have affected it. Human geography broadly differs from physical geography in that it has a greater focus on studying human activities and is more receptive to qualitative research methodologies. Broadly speaking human geography is a social science discipline, whilst physical geography is an earth science. Human geography studies the relationship and pattern of interactions between human beings and their physical environment.

Population, in the broadest terms, refers to the way people are spread over the surface of the.earth. It would interest the student that while most of the earth's surface in uninhabited, nearly nine-tenths of the world population lives in about one tenth of the earth's area. Nearly sixty percent of the earth's population is housed in just ten of the most populous countries of the world. Six of the most populous nations in the world are located in Asia.

Measures of Population Distribution and Concentration: Population concentration can be studied under the topics of population distribution and population density, While population distribution refers to the spatial location of the population, the population density refers to the number of people per unit of land.

Factors Affecting the Density of Population: Population density is the product of a number of socio-economic, physical and geographical factors, which are mentioned under:

Geographical Factors: Geographical factors like availability of land, the physiography of landscape, its climate, soils, etc. are the main factors in this category. Despite the cultural advancement of humans, these factors still determined the distribution and density of population largely. For example, the Indo-Genetic plains favour the Jocation of people in comparison to the mountains.Economic Factors: Economic factors like availability of minerals, opportunities of employment, presence of basic amenities  etc. largely influence the distribution and density of population. For example, the Katanga Zambia (copper mines) in Africa attracts large population.

Population Growth: Population of the world is not static but changing constantly. This change in population between two points of time is known as growth of population. It is determined by three factors - birth rate, mortality rate, and migration. While the first two factors are natural, the last one is anthropogenie. Nror kvkan Population growth is expressed in terms of number or in percentage. It can be positive or negative. Economic development, social upliftment and other developments of any region can be easily identified by keeping a closer look on the population growth of that region.
