Study Notes

Free Movement Limitations

States can restrict the entry of certain plants and animals across their borders to protect local ecosystems.

Stateless Nations

Stateless nations lack equal recognition in the international community, highlighting issues of autonomy and nationalism.

Definition of a Nation

A nation is a group of people who share common characteristics such as history, culture, and ethnicity.

Internal Boundaries

Territories, enclaves, and exclaves are categorized as internal boundaries, indicating divisions within a state.

Multiple Nuclei Land-Use Model

The concept that low-income residential areas will surround industrial areas in a city is not part of the multiple nuclei land-use model.

Benefits of Grid Cities

Grid cities facilitate quicker transportation due to streets being aligned with coordinates or cardinal directions.

Enclaves and Exclaves

Enclaves and exclaves arise from ethnic or cultural differences, often due to political boundary changes.
Example: Cabinda is an exclave of Angola, surrounded by the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Washington, DC City Plan

Washington, DC's layout follows a master plan from 1791, featuring streets radiating from the Capitol building.

Occupied Territories

The Gaza Strip, controlled by Israel after the Six-Day War in 1967, is classified as an occupied territory.

Midwest Territory Borders

Borders in the Midwest territories of the US are geometrically measured, reflecting systematic organization.

Levels of Internal Boundaries

The boundary level between federal and county is referred to as "state."
The level just above intracity boundaries is designated as "city."

Federal Boundaries

A federal boundary separates US lands from those of another country, delineating national sovereignty.

Sovereign States

A sovereign state operates independently without external control or authority from other states.

Comparison of Enclaves and Exclaves

Enclaves are entirely surrounded by another country (e.g., Lesotho within South Africa).
Exclaves are parts of a country separated from the main territory (e.g., Gibraltar belongs to the UK but is located on the coast of Spain).

Autonomous Regions

Autonomous regions are semi-independent areas within a country, often for cultural reasons.
Challenges include lack of full recognition by the dominant government and limited international acknowledgement, as seen in Tibet and Greenland.

Personal Space Misconception

The notion that personal space constitutes a tangible boundary is incorrect; personal space is subjective and contextual.

City Growth Models

The Burgess model (1929) suggests cities expand in concentric circles around a central business district.
The Hoyt model (1939) suggests cities grow outward along transport routes, creating distinct zones of land use.
