GROUP 4 - THE EARLY PERIOD OF SPANISH SETTLEMENT.pptx
The document summarizes the early period of Spanish settlement in the Philippines from 1521-1800s. It discusses the Spanish colonization of the Philippines for economic prospects, geographic location, and Christian expansion. The Spanish implemented land ownership and taxation systems that gave land to conquistadors and established an economic hierarchy. This led to revolts from Filipinos over land disputes and abusive labor systems like polo y servicio that separated families and provided little pay. The revolts resulted in some concessions from Spain but also introduced lasting changes like private land ownership that benefited Spanish and Chinese mestizos.
Joseph Eugene Stiglitz
1) Joseph Eugene Stiglitz is an American economist who received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2001 for his analyses of markets with asymmetric information.
2) He has made significant contributions to the theories of information asymmetry and screening and helped create the field of economics of information.
3) His work on efficiency wages and the Stiglitz-Shapiro model challenged the assumption that markets are always efficient and established the foundation for modern economics.
Impact of globalisation on poverty,inequality and employment
Globalization has impacted poverty, inequality, and employment in India. While it has led to some reduction in poverty, the decline has been insufficient and inequality remains high. Globalization contributed to increased productivity and wages, which helped reduce absolute poverty. However, rural-urban disparities in income persist. Employment in manufacturing and services has grown, but agriculture employment has declined slowly despite a decreasing share of agriculture in GDP. Unemployment rates have generally fallen but rural unemployment remains a concern, especially in agriculture. Overall, globalization's effects have been mixed, with both opportunities and challenges for reducing poverty and generating employment.
Urban and economic geography
Urban geography studies how people use space in cities. Cities develop around central areas of business, culture, and innovation. Urban areas consist of central cities surrounded by suburbs and exurbs. Cities are often located near transportation routes and natural resources, allowing them to specialize economically and become transportation hubs. Basic land use patterns in cities separate residential, industrial, and commercial areas, with a central business district as the core commercial area.

Philippine Population
The document discusses population characteristics and trends in the Philippines. It defines population as a group of organisms of the same species living in a specific place. The three main characteristics of population are size, density, and distribution. Population size is determined by birth rate, death rate, and migration. The Philippines has experienced rapid population growth due to cultural factors like large families and gender roles. This growth creates problems related to environment, resources, education, health, and food supply. The population is projected to continue increasing and will put more pressure on the country's infrastructure and economy. Regions near Manila like CALABARZON are expected to experience the most growth.
TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE WORLD.pptx

Environmental sustainability practices that promote sustainability are also outlined.
AS Edexcel Geography - World At Risk
This document provides an overview of global hazards and trends related to climate change. It begins with key terms used to describe different types of hazards. Statistics show that while the number of deaths from disasters has decreased due to better protection, the total number affected has increased significantly since the 1990s. This is likely due to growing populations living in at-risk areas combined with more frequent or intense extreme weather events associated with climate change. El Niño/La Niña cycles also influence hazard patterns globally, bringing drought to some areas and floods to others. Human activities like deforestation exacerbate the impacts of disasters by increasing vulnerability.
Approaches in Geograpgy
The document discusses different approaches used in geography to study physical and human environments. It describes the regional approach, which studies the unique characteristics of each region, including culture, economy, topography, climate, politics, and environment. It also outlines the topical or systematic approach, which applies specific geographical elements or phenomena over a defined geographical area. The regional approach was introduced by Karl Ritter while the systematic approach was introduced by Alexander Von Humboldt.
Politics, environment, and sustainability
The document discusses politics, the environment, and sustainability. It outlines speakers on these topics and subtopics they will address, including the role of government in sustainable societies, environmental law and policy, roles of environmental groups, and cases in Indonesia. The government can encourage sustainability through policies and laws, while environmental policymaking is complex, involving laws, funding, and enforcement. Individuals and grassroots groups can influence political processes around environmental policies. Transitioning to sustainability requires global cooperation and commitment. Environmental security is crucial to economic security.
Poverty and inequality
The document defines and discusses different aspects of poverty. It defines absolute and relative poverty, with absolute poverty referring to lack of means to meet basic needs and relative poverty considering social and economic status compared to others. It discusses the poverty line as the minimum income level required to afford life's necessities, and how the World Bank adjusted the international poverty line over time. It provides statistics on global and regional poverty rates. For India, it details how the poverty line was originally calculated and varies between states, with some below 10% and others above 40%. It also discusses inequality, the Gini coefficient measure of inequality, and how India's Gini index and inequality has risen in recent decades.
Basic Economics With Taxation And Agrarian Reform boa
The document provides an overview of key topics in consumer behavior and economics, including consumer behavior analysis, demand analysis, supply analysis, market equilibrium, production and cost theories, and market structure. It defines important concepts like utility, demand and supply curves, equilibrium price and quantity, costs of production, and elasticity. Various graphs and tables are presented to illustrate consumer choice concepts like indifference curves, the relationship between total utility and marginal utility, and the determinants of demand and supply.
Core & periphery theory for planning
The document discusses the theory of core and periphery as it relates to economic geography. The core-periphery model proposes that as one region grows economically, it becomes the core, while surrounding areas become the periphery. At the global scale, developed nations form the economic core and developing nations the periphery. Core nations control global markets and benefit more, while periphery nations depend on the core and receive a disproportionately small share of global wealth. The relationship between core and periphery can have both positive "spread effects" and negative "backwash effects" on the periphery.
Important IB ESS Essay Questions
This document contains sample essay questions and responses about ecosystems and human impacts on the environment.
The first question asks to describe methods to record changes in an ecosystem like the Alpine Pine Forest from human activities, such as using sampling methods to measure species abundance and diversity over time.
The second question explains how human activity has increased nitrogen in ecosystems through fertilizer use and fossil fuel combustion, and the impacts like acid rain, soil acidification, and eutrophication.
The third question evaluates the role of Environmental Impact Assessments in different societies, noting they can empower communities but be biased if developers fund them, and may not be affordable or prioritized in all contexts.
Global Migration
Global migration refers to people moving to live in foreign countries, often for work. It is a protected human right for people to freely move and migrate. There are many reasons why people migrate globally, including seeking job opportunities, reuniting families, fleeing from situations of injustice and war. The push-pull factors also influence migration - push factors relate to conditions that force people to leave their home country, like lack of jobs or conflict, while pull factors are benefits of opportunities in the destination country that attract migrants, such as potential for a successful career. Migrating can improve quality of life by providing new experiences and opportunities not previously available.

organisational structures. The UK Government announced a Housing White Paper in February 2017, which has implications for local communities, landowners, housing organisations and local authorities. This presentation highlights some of the key points.
Sawayume Kenya Smile Latrine Project Sanitation Marketing presentation
The Smile Toilet Project is a partnership between SawaYume Kenya, Japan Habitat Association, and the County Government of Homabay Ministry of Health. The project aims to provide sustainable sanitation options to rural communities in Homabay County, Kenya through Community Led Total Sanitation and sanitation marketing activities. A baseline survey found that 35% of households in the target village lacked latrines. The project trained masons, conducted CLTS activities, and established microfinance groups to help households construct and upgrade latrines. As a result, 97% of households now have functional latrines and hand washing practices have improved.
Empowering the Poor Communities
This document discusses community-driven development (CDD) and how it can empower poor communities. It defines CDD as an approach that gives control of the development process directly to community groups. The key aspects of CDD include transparency, participation, local empowerment, and accountability. CDD seeks to identify and implement projects that communities feel they need most. It discusses three components of CDD - project implementation support, community development support, and a community driven investment program. The goal is to build community capacity and create social and economic infrastructure to improve livelihoods in a sustainable manner.

Coastal questions
Freeze-thaw weathering involves the expansion of water in rock cracks when it freezes, which exerts pressure and causes pieces of rock to break off when it thaws. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock through warm, wet conditions. Mass movement rapidly transforms coastlines by causing cliffs and material on slopes to slide downwards, resulting in cliff retreat and new sediment supply on beaches.

Volcanic eruptions can be monitored and potentially predicted using various methods. Earthquake activity, ground deformation measured by tiltmeters and GPS, changes in magma temperature, and gas emissions are monitored in real-time. Seismometers are also used to analyze earthquake waves. By studying patterns of past eruptions, including the timing of flows and gaps between events, volcanologists aim to improve predictions. However, volcanic eruptions often remain unpredictable.
Model 1
Large numbers of tourists visiting tropical destinations can negatively impact the local environment and economy in several ways. Seasonal tourist jobs pay locals low wages, while most profits from hotels and businesses go to foreign owners. Traditional industries like farming suffer when land is sold for tourism development and locals' diets change to imported foods preferred by visitors. Over-tourism can also threaten local customs and introduce social problems by changing island cultures.
Model 3
The document describes three levels of analysis for comparing two population pyramids (A and B). Level 1 involves basic descriptive points about the pyramids' shapes. Level 2 explains differences in life expectancy and development status between the populations based on pyramid shape. Level 3 provides the most detailed analysis by linking sentences, using comparative words, and directly contrasting pyramids A and B.
Model 2
The UK government has tried to improve inner cities since the 1990s through various initiatives. These include programs like City Challenge in the 1990s, which provided funding for local councils and private groups to regenerate areas through new housing, improved community facilities and parks. More recently, the Sustainable Communities program since 2003 has aimed to give residents access to jobs, education, healthcare and a good quality of life while protecting the environment, such as through examples like the New Islington Millennium Village development in Manchester. Earlier initiatives also helped through slum clearances, new social housing and designations like Urban Development Corporations starting in the 1980s.

Blackpool has implemented several strategies to improve the tourist industry and ensure its continued success. Millions of pounds have been spent on upgrading facilities, improving attractions, and promoting year-round events. Old buildings have been replaced, hotels upgraded, beaches cleaned, and new attractions added. This includes converting an airfield into a golf course and zoo and adding new rides annually to the Pleasure Beach. Blackpool promotes off-season events to keep the industry thriving throughout the year.
Describe how governments are attempting to cope with the problems of an agein...
The UK government is attempting to cope with an aging population by delaying the retirement age and increasing the age for receiving state pensions. This forces people to work longer and continue paying taxes to fund increased social services and healthcare for the elderly, such as nursing homes. Younger populations are declining so less money is being allocated to education and more is being spent on healthcare and social provision for the aging population.
Urban model answers
The conditions shown in the photo are found in shanty towns because they are unplanned, illegal settlements where people cannot afford proper building materials. As a result, houses are makeshift and put together from scrap, and there is a lack of infrastructure like running water, sanitation, electricity, and paved roads. Diseases spread easily due to contaminated water and poor drainage.
Local people have tried to improve their lives by finding materials to build better houses, setting up schools, tapping into electricity, and finding work to support their families and pay for necessities. They have also worked together to access running water.

Ecotourism involves environmentally and socially responsible tourism that benefits local environments and communities economically. It focuses on small scale and low impact activities like trekking that expose visitors to natural areas in a way that conserves resources and respects local cultures. Done properly, ecotourism can contribute to sustainable development by improving living standards for local people through jobs and infrastructure while protecting environments for future generations.
Tourism in kenya– good or bad
This document discusses tourism in Kenya, including both positive and negative impacts. It provides background on why Kenya has been able to attract mass tourism and the economic benefits it provides. However, it also notes environmental and social issues that have arisen, such as damage to parks from overtourism. Strategies discussed include diversifying tourism activities, reducing numbers in some parks, and increasing involvement of local tribes and conservation efforts.
Mass tourism – good or bad
Mass tourism has both advantages and disadvantages for local economies and environments. While it can improve domestic economies through income from tourism-related industries and infrastructure development, it often leads to environmental damage and issues like traffic congestion. Strategies are needed to reduce negative impacts and maintain tourism's importance, such as appealing to higher-income visitors, addressing pollution and waste problems, and providing more full-time, skilled local jobs.
L3 how do we manage tourism in the uk

1) The significant contribution of tourism to the UK economy, generating over £80 billion annually and employing over 2 million people.
2) Factors that can affect the number of tourists visiting the UK, such as weather, economic conditions, currency exchange rates, and security issues.
3) Popular tourist destinations in the UK include coastal resort towns, national parks, and cities like London, York, and Edinburgh that attract visitors with their historic sites and attractions.
L2 why has global
The document discusses the global growth of tourism and its economic importance. It explains that tourism has seen the exploitation of cities, mountains, and coastal areas for holidaymakers. Tourism brings many economic benefits, including increasing the number and variety of service sector jobs, improving infrastructure and public services, supporting local industries, and increasing tax revenues for local and national governments. Many small island countries have benefited greatly from tourism and improved air travel, as it has lessened their dependence on unstable commodity exports and brought a much-needed source of income. Around 80% of Barbados's national income comes from tourism.
L1 why has global tourism grown nsr
The document discusses the global growth of tourism since 1950. Some key points:
- Tourism is the world's largest industry, worth $500 billion in 2007. There were 900 million international tourist travelers that year.
- The top destinations are France, Spain, Italy, USA, China and UK. Tourism is one of the top 5 sources of foreign exchange for 83% of countries.
- Reasons for the increase include rising incomes, more leisure time, cheaper air travel, and greater infrastructure and advertising of destinations. Tourism has continued growing since the 1950s and has proven resilient to economic downturns.
L14 waste
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world leads to several environmental problems related to waste disposal, air pollution, and water pollution. Cities produce large amounts of waste but poorer countries lack the funds and infrastructure to dispose of it properly. Much of the waste is toxic but remains untreated, threatening public health. Air and water resources are also impacted by pollution from industry and traffic without adequate regulations. Waste pickers, including children, search through garbage for items to resell but face health risks from toxic materials. Overall, the scale of waste problems outpaces solutions in less developed countries experiencing fast urban growth.
L15 air and water pollution
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world leads to environmental problems from increased air and water pollution. Cities produce large amounts of air pollution from industry and waste that ends up polluting rivers. Water pollution kills fish and spreads disease, while air pollution damages health. Governments try to manage pollution through sewage treatment, pollution laws, and enforcing emission limits, but population growth makes controlling pollution difficult.
Bhopal
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world can cause environmental problems due to difficulties managing waste, which is often toxic, as well as air and water pollution. Proper management is required to address the effects of rapid urbanization and industrialization in these areas. While urbanization brings economic opportunities, it also puts pressure on infrastructure and can harm the environment if not properly planned and regulated.
