Japan consists of four main islands - Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Population densities are highest in the lowland areas of these islands where farming is most productive and there are larger cities/industrial areas. Densities are lowest in the mountainous interiors due to unfavorable conditions for agriculture, short growing seasons, high rainfall, and lack of infrastructure/jobs. Specifically, the mountainous areas have steep terrain, thin soils, cold winters, and cool summers that limit food production.

Japanese geography shaped religion, agriculture, government and art. The islands experience frequent earthquakes and typhoons due to unstable tectonic activity. Early settlers cultivated rice which became the staple crop, grown through community cooperation. Chinese culture influenced Japan through writing systems, Buddhism, and a blending with the native Shinto religion which centers around nature spirits.

The document discusses factors that influence the uneven distribution of the world's population. It notes that 86% of the population lives in the Old World (Asia, Africa, Europe) on 63% of the land, while only 14% of people live in the New World on 36.5% of land. Physical factors like landforms, climate, soils, and distance from the sea influence where people live. Biotic factors such as plant and animal life, as well as diseases, also impact population distribution. Socio-economic factors like mineral resources, transportation, economy, education, politics, and migration are responsible for population shifts over time. The interaction of these varied factors results in the complex patterns of global population distribution seen today.

The document provides information about world population growth and changes, using examples from Malawi as an LEDC country and Germany as an MEDC country. It discusses factors that influence birth rates, such as education levels, infant mortality rates, and cost of living. Malawi has a high population growth rate of 2.4% due to high infant mortality and reliance on children for labor and support. Germany has a low birth rate of 8.18/1000 and decreasing population due to costs of raising children, focus on careers, and good healthcare lowering infant mortality. The aging population in Germany may cause problems with fewer workers and increased healthcare and pension costs.

Population Geography
The document discusses key concepts in population geography, including population density, distribution, growth rates, and population structures. It provides data on population statistics globally and for various countries and regions. Maps show the distribution and concentration of populations worldwide, and in countries like the United States and China. Charts illustrate population growth and changing growth rates over time.
Population Distribution
Population distribution is influenced by both physical and human factors. Physical factors like climate, landforms, resources, and vegetation determine whether an area is densely or sparsely populated. Areas with extreme climates or hostile environments tend to be sparsely populated, while temperate areas and places rich in resources see higher population densities. Human factors also impact population distribution, as economic opportunities, social preferences, and political stability can encourage or discourage large populations in certain areas.
EDEXCEL GCSE Geography Unit 3 Tourism Revision
This document discusses tourism, including definitions of key terms like tourist, tourism, and types of tourism. It outlines Butler's tourist resort life cycle model and applies it to Blackpool and Benidorm as examples. The document also covers attitudes to tourism, impacts of tourism including social, economic and environmental impacts, and how ecotourism is managed in the Galapagos Islands.
Population Distribution & Density
There are two main ways to map population distribution: showing where individuals are located or plotting population density by area. Population density maps the relationship between population numbers and land area using a choropleth method showing people per square kilometer. However, choropleth maps have limitations as they use average densities that can conceal variations within areas and give a sudden impression of changes between neighboring units. For example, Japan's average density understates concentrations in habitable lowlands. Physical, climatic, environmental and socioeconomic factors all influence why some areas have low or high population densities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
