Q
What is the density per km squared in the UK?
A
259.2 people/km^2
2
Q
What is population density?
A
No of people/km^2
3
Q
Compare India, Bangladesh, China pop density
A
India and Bangladesh have higher densities
4
Q
How does England’s average pop density mask distribution of population? What is the actual distribution?
A
- Does not show that England has 3/4 of population, so it has a higher pop density
- there is a high density in the South East round to the North West, especially in cities
- low density in the South West, East Anglia and the North
- Wales and Scotland have even smaller population and smaller area, so this means the population densities are lower
- Northern Ireland have higher densities around Belfast, generally more spread
5
Q
How has the population of the UK grown unevenly in the last 50 years?
A
- London and SE have grown rapidly
- NE and other regions have grown more slowly
6
Q
What is the relationship between population distribution and relief?
A
- the higher above sea level, the lower the population density
- population density is lower in areas more than 200m above sea level
- also areas between 100-200m above sea level have low densities, such as the North Downs
7
Q
Two examples for low pop density due to being above 200m sea level
A
Grampian Mountains
Lake District
8
Q
Example for area between 100-200m above sea level with low pop density
A
North Downs
9
Q
What factors affect pop distribution in the Uk?
A
Physical, Historical, Recent Economic, Political
10
Q
Why do physical factors affect population distribution in the UK?
A
- north of Tees-Exe Line, the land is higher with mountains and steep slopes, so farming is more difficult, colder, so less people live there
- south of the Tees-Exe line, the land is lower, flatter, better soils, close to coast, better weather, so they have higher population densities,
11
Q
How do historical factors affect pop distribution in the UK?
A
Industrial Revolution encouraged migration to cities, mostly to London, which was the only city in UK in 1801, with over 100,000
12
Q
How do economic factors affect pop distribution in the UK?
A
- growth in tertiary and quaternary sector as a post-industrial economy has lead to migration to places with good transport and communications, which is often the SE and London, as they are the centre of roads, rail, air, culture, banking, which leads to multiplier effect
13
Q
How do political factors affect pop distribution in the UK?
A
- migration to London as heart of UK government and UK’s relationship w/ EU
14
Q
What causes changes in pop distribution? (8 terms)
A
internal economic migration counter-urbanisation immigration re-urbanisation redevelopment retirement greenfield planning permission major planning decisions (e.g post WW2 motorways)
15

22
Q

A
As IM increases, so does NI
As immigrants are young, so contribute to rise in birth rates and population growth rate
23
Q

A
baby boom, due to economy growth
Carribean immigration
24
Q
Why did population growth slow in 70s and 80s
A
Economy weakened
fertility rates decreased
DUE TO more women in work
25
What was the population increase like in the 90s and why
Slight increase due to late baby boomers having children
26
What happened to population growth in the 2000s and why
Increased significantly again
As UK was moving to tertiary sector, so more workers
Higher birth rate due to immigrants
Lower death rate due to better healthcare
27
How is population growth been since 2010 and why
Increased
due to immigration as net positive migration was higher than natural increase
perception that UK dealt better with recession than other countries
28
What are factors of population structure and dynamics (4b.1c)
Differences in fertility and mortality rates
International and internal migration
29
What is fertility rate
Number of live births per 1000 women of childbearing age(15-44) /year
30
Factors affecting fertility rate (2 social 1 economic and 1 political)
- role of women has changed, so more have careers, and do not want to spend lives at home, so decreased fertility rate
- religion can increase it
- pop policies like China’s one-child policy decrease it
- high economic cost (£60,000 for child UK 2005) so fertility rate decreases
31
Factors affecting mortality rate (3 social/political, one economic)
- more food supplies =more balanced diet, less starvation, so mortality rate decreases
- improved healthcare decreases mortality rates
- war increases mortality rates (Sierra Leone ha high mortality rate due to this)
- famine increases mortality rate (Sub-Saharan Africa has had poor harvests, leads to food shortages , famines)
32
What is the Demographic Transition Model?
shows historical shift from high birth rates and high infant death rates in societies with minimal technology, education (especially of women) and economic development, to low birth rates and low death rates in societies with advanced technology, education and economic development
33
How does birth rate and death rate change in Demographic transition model
HIGH to LOW
34
Describe Stage 1 of Demographic Transition Model and who is in it
```
birth rate
death rate
natural
increase
When uk was at this stage
Life expectancy
```
```
High Birth Rate
High Death Rate
Stable/Slow Natural Increase
ONLY Amazonian and Indonesian rainforests
UK before 1769
Low life expectancy
```
35
Describe Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model
```
who’s in it
birth rate
death rate
natural
increase
When uk was at this stage
Life expectancy
Medicine
```
```
Kenya, Egypt
High birth rate
Death rate falls rapidly
Very rapid natural increase
From 1760 UK Was at this stage
Higher life expectancy
Better medicine, mostly agricultural economics
```
36
Describe Stage 3 of the Demographic Transition Model
```
Birth rate and why
Death rate
natural increase
when uk entered it and why
Which country now
```
Falling birth rate, as birth control and economic change has happened, so people benefit from smaller families
Death rate falls more slowly than before
Natural increase slows down
UK entered in 1880, perhaps due to 1870 Education Act requiring children up to the age of 12 to go to school
Brazil
37
Describe Stage 4 of Demographic Transition Model
```
Birth rate
Death rate
Natural Increase
UK’s position and why
Which countries are here
```
Low birth and death rates, but these are fluctuating, as good economy means people can afford children, but when there is unemployment, low wages, people postpone children
Falling then stable natural increase
UK is at Stage 4, as in the 60s, the economy and birth rate grew, but in the 70s, with the recession, the birth rate decreased
UK USA France
38
Stage 5 of the Demographic Transition Model
Death rate is rising again as there are more elderly, rising birth rate, but still both low as there is family planning, good health, improved statues of women
Many Eastern and Western countries are at this stage but not the UK
Germany and Japan
39
What are the 6 parts of the rural-urban continuum?

83
With what quantitative data can we measure perception of Reading?
House prices
Crime Rate per 1000
ASB

How can house prices show perception?
High house prices mean more people want to live there. so better perception
85
How can crime rate per 1000 show perception? What happens if there is more crime?
If there's a higher crime rate per 1000 in one areas, it means less well-paid people want to live there, so there is less development or even gentrification, leading to crime, so spiral of decline
86
How can ASB change perception of an area>
ASB (fighting, setting fires) will make people move, leading to neglect, businesses close down, leading to more crime

- Jan 2016 ‘Britain’s First’ March, where they held wooden crosses, confronted people about religion, and said ‘this is our country not yours’
149
Why have Eu-born migrants moving into Luton created tensions
- Asian pop feel Eastern Europeans have more opportunities, as they are more deprived generally,so may feel culturally and economically marginalised
- minority of British White feel it has threatened them
150
Social exclusion Glasgow
- investment has only benefited some areas, so deprived are hostile to gov for this
- and within deprived areas, there are tensions, as pockets of foreign-born people are created
- White British people believe these people are responsible for unemployment, dilution of Scottish culture, authorities not bothering to invest
- so minorities feel social exclusion, and this is strengthened by their poverty and trying to break out of the vicious deprivation cycle
