APHG Review 1 (Chapter 1 - Chapter 5)

Cities in the developing world - have foreign investment and paying jobs

Beliefs, practices, aesthetics, values

Layering of imprints on the Cultural Landscape

How we make sense of ourselves - we decide

Five Themes of Geography

The number of deaths subtracted from number of births

Defined by a particular set of activities or interactions that occur within it

A worldwide outbreak of a disease

What happens at the global level affects local issues and vice versa

A regional outbreak of disease

A distinct combination of cultural traits (these combinations make us who we are)

Processes that increase interactions, deepens relationships, and accelerates interdependence

Sustains local cultures - practices that are routinely followed

Satellite based - allows us to locate features on the earth with accuracy

Which is NOT a type of expansion diffusion?

When individuals with criminal backgrounds, poor health, etc. are denied entry into a country

Predicts the interaction between two places on the basis of population size and distance

Encourages large families in order to raise the rate of natural increase

Population Explosion (Stage of DTM)

Imposition of authority or power in order to produce involuntary movements of people

Your shared ancestry or culture - people or nation

When a person weighs their options (push/pull factors) when considering migration

Irregular movement, not always the same - longer periods undertaken over time

An area where cultural traits develop and from where they diffuse

Concerned with the environmental consequences of political and economic choices

Small, incorporates a homogenous population, rural

Cyclic Movement

Large, incorporates a heterogenous population, changes rapidly

Distance

Loss of uniqueness in a certain place - cultural landscapes begin to look the same

The further a place is from a hearth, the less likely the idea will be adopted

Study of population in a general perspective

Process by which other cultures adopt customs and knowledge - use it for their own gain

A region that has a shared (physical or cultural) trait

Observing actions and reactions and how they vary across space.

Cultural Constructs: art, houses, clothing, sports, dance

Visible imprint of human activity on an area

A more complete perception of closer places than those that are further away

High birth rates, equally high death rates - checked by plagues/war (DTM Stage)

Memories or experiences attached to a particular location

Population in decline (controversial Stage of DTM)

The number of people per unit of arable land

Unknown land - usually off limits

Idea/thought that human behavior is strongly influenced by the environment

A set of assumptions based on differences between men and women
