HUMAN SETTLEMENTS

Demography

Timeline of Human History

100’s of thousands of years ago man 1st appeared in the Great Rift Valleys of East Africa.

10,000 years ago man had migrated into the Middle East. Discovered how to plant seeds for food leading them

to abandon nomadic (wandering in search of food) hunting and gathering lifestyle.

Agriculture spreads and people start to settle in 1 place & develop cities.

River Valley Civilizations

River valley’s good soil & water=1st cities arose b/c enough food for population= - in # of farmers & + priests, soldiers, traders, & craftspeople= need for government.

Industrial Revolution

1700’s the Industrial Revolution begins= + urbanization (movement of people to the cities) = + in factory jobs and opportunities

Now

¾ of world’s population lives on 5% of land. Top 5 areas

East Asia South Asia S.E. Asia Europe North America

Physical & Human factors influence where people settle

Factors influencing where people settle: Physical Factors

ClimateMost where

temperate or mild climate.

WHY?

Natural ResourcesClustered around

ports & fresh water sources,

Flat & fertile land as well.

WHY?

Factors influencing where people settle: Physical Factors

Bodies of Water2/3’s of population

live within 500 miles of the ocean.

WHY?

Landforms8 of 10 largest cities

along fault linesFewer people live in

mountainous, dry, cold, or extremely wet areas.

WHY?

Factors influencing where people settle: Human Factors

Level of TechnologyHigher the level of

technology = more people free to explore & settle new areas.

Transportation RoutesNew routes leads to

new settlements Ex. Railroad opened

up the Western United States to more settlement.

Factors influencing where people settle: Human Factors

UrbanizationIncrease in

urbanization leads to increase in population in areas around cities.

Economic ActivitiesNew economic

opportunities bring people to new areas. Ex. California gold

rush (1849) brings a large influx of people to California & western states.

Patterns in Size & Distribution of Cities

Demographer

Studies characteristics of populations & where people settle. Ex.: males, females, ages- population pyramids Can tell if society is healthy with good health care=

longer life expectancy.

Distributions of CitiesCBD- central business districtResidential= possibly lower

income housingSuburbs= outside of city-

formed “satellite cities” and when join= metropolitan area or region.

Squatter settlements- less educated & few resources. People who move to city who

can’t afford to live in the city- use plywood, metal, & plastic sheets to make housing/buildings= shantytowns

CBD

Squatter Settleme

nts

Residential

Suburbs*developed around business district*wealthier moved to suburbs – commuted. This is reversing now in some big cities

URBAN PATTERNS

City Center best known area, most visually distinctive

San Francisco, London original site of settlement

Central Business District retail & office space assessable often a focal point with skyscrapers specialized stores for the office workers

URBAN PATTERNSZones in Transition

mixed use with light industry transition from business to residential older neighborhoods (slums)

home to ethnic groups not culturally integrated ghettos vs. ethnic neighborhood

Suburbs residential nodes of retail services

GROWTH OF THE CITY

Skyscrapers - using vertical space intensive use of land

shops at street level professional offices at higher levels

Outward Expansion advent of the automobile & transportation routes decline of public transport

OUTWARD EXPANSION (con’t)Squatter Settlements - illegally erected

shacks, cardboard structures and tents, due to rapid growth in cities of developing countries

De-urbanization of the City suburbanism - legally independent cities cluster cities rural areas- preferable to urban lifestyle telecommuting - economic activity from a

distance

Agenda

Warm-upFinish Demography notesWatch guy in the forest w/backpack who

doesn’t blink video. Get 15 facts on paper.

1. In which zone will you find a variety of weather?

A. Temperate

B. Tropic

C. Longitudinal

D. Polar

2. What would happen if there was no tilt of the earth?

A. The earth would not rotate on its axis.

B. There would be no seasons.

C. Day and night would be the same length everywhere on earth, all year long.

D. The earth would be pulled closer to the sun.

3.

Trends in World Population

Once agriculture discovered population grew gradually.

After 1700’s – Industrial Revolution= new farming techniques & modern science lead to fast increase in Europe’s population. When European’s conquered/colonized areas all over

the world bringing new ideas leads to population explosion.

Since WWII (1940’s) in Asia, Africa, & Latin America populations have risen dramatically.

Trend’s continued

1700- .5 billion people

1850- 1 billion1900- 1.5 billion1950- 2.5 billion1970- 4 billion2000- 6.1 billion2011- 7 billion

Some countries/areas are struggling to reduce birth rates & get growth under control because it is straining their economies & societies.

Warm-upDemography lessons on project shareDemography test on project share

We are going to a computer lab today. When we exit the class you need to be quiet and walk fast to the lab. The lab is located in the main building and I will give directions to it before we leave.

Once we are in the lab you need to sign on and then wait for instructions.

You need to be on your best behavior in the lab and make sure that you listen.

1. This type of plate movement causes the formation of volcanoes:

A. Erosion

B. Divergent Boundaries

C. Convergent: Subduction

D. Transform boundaries

2. Which of the following is not an example of erosion?

A. Forest Fires

B. Landslides

C. Glacial break up

D. Flooding

Grab a computer and log inLog on to the internet make sure it is CCISD wireless. http://projectsharetexas.comOnce there go to Mr. Cook to get your log in

information you will need something to write your information down on and with.

The password is sandcrabs When you log on it will have you create two security

questions make sure you remember exactly how you answered them (including capital letters!)

Once you have finished that STOP.

Now click on learning and then courses. You will have an invitation click on the green

check mark on the right hand side to accept the invitation to World Geography.

It will ask you to accept your name and role, just click accept do not change anything on that screen.

STOP

Now you will be taken to the World Geography site.

Click on Lessons on the left hand side. When the lessons load scroll down to the

Urbanization: Growth of Cities Lesson. Click on it and when it loads go through the

lesson, make sure to read, view the pictures & video clips (headphones if you got them).

If you do not finish we will tomorrow we will finish the lesson and take the exam on it in class.
