    Study Notes

    ### Settlement

    • Settlements develop around resources such as coal, fish, and minerals for trade and industry
    • Infrastructure, including roads, water supply, electricity, sewage, healthcare, and communication networks, encourages settlement.

    Population Indicators (Demographics)

    • Demography studies population characteristics, including age, gender, occupation, fertility, and health.
    • Natural Increase (NI) is the percentage increase in population excluding migration.
    • Doubling Time refers to the number of years needed to double a population.
    • Life Expectancy is the average number of years an individual will live based on social, economic, and medical conditions.
    • Crude Birth Rate is the number of live births per year for every 1000 people.
    • Crude Death Rate is the number of deaths per year for every 1000 people alive.
    • Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is the average number of children a woman will have in her childbearing years.

    The Demographic Transition Model (DTM)

    • The DTM describes the shift from high birth and death rates with a low rate of natural increase to low birth and death rates with a higher total population.
    • Stage 1: High birth and death rates result in a low total population. This was typical of pre-industrial societies.
    • Stage 2: Rapidly declining death rates while birth rates remain high lead to a rapid increase in population.
    • Stage 3: A more modest population growth occurs with declining birth rates and continued, but slower, falling death rates.
    • Stage 4: Low birth and death rates result in a stable or slowly growing population with a higher total population.
    • The Demographic Transition Model helps to understand how and why a country's population changes over time.

    What is Development?

    • Development refers to a country's advancement in improving its economy and society for a better quality of life.
    • Development is assessed through various indicators.
    • The world is divided into two developed regions and seven developing regions.

    Indicators of Development

    • Social Indicators focus on human and social development, including:
      • Crude Birth Rate (CBR)
      • Crude Death Rate (CDR)
      • Life Expectancy (LE)
      • Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
      • Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR)
      • Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
      • Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR)
      • Literacy Rate (LR)
    • Economic Indicators focus on earnings and spending of individuals or countries.
      • Gross National Product (GNP): the total value of goods and services produced by a country in a year, including foreign income.
      • Gross Domestic Product (GDP): the total value of goods and services produced by a country in a year.
      • Both GNP/GNI and GDP can be calculated per capita (per person).
    • Components of Economic Development include:
      • Industrial Growth: expansion of manufacturing and services sectors.
      • Infrastructure development: roads, electricity, and telecommunications.
      • Trade and investment: encouraging domestic and foreign investments and promoting exports.
      • Job creation: generation of employment opportunities to reduce poverty and improve living standards.
      • Institutional development: strengthening political, legal, and administrative systems.

    Institutional Development

    • Strong institutions ensure coordinated, transparent, and inclusive development efforts.
    • They provide essential structure for economic growth, social welfare, and environmental protection.

    ### World Development Continuum

    • The World Development Continuum shows varying development levels across countries.
    • Countries are positioned along the continuum based on their economic performance, social well-being, human development, and environmental sustainability.

    Migration

    • Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another.
    • Migration involves two-way connections between locations.
