Key Words� Birth Rate the number of births per 1000 people in a year
� Death Rate the number of deaths per 1000 people in a year
� Migration
people changing their place of residence, within or between countries
� Natural Increase the difference between birth and death rate
� Natural Change the change (increase or decrease) in population numbers, from the differencebetween the birth and death rate
� Zero Population Growth when natural and migration change cancel each other out, no change isthe total population

Japan Ageing Population
� Birth rate is low
� Low death rate
� High life expectancy
� Developed country with people
moving their to life a civilised life
style in their old age
� People are living longer due to
good heath care
� As a result taxes need to increase to
pay for the services needed by theageing population
� Fewer workers in the economy
� Increase in high quality, reliable
health care

P opulation policiesPro Natalist = SingaporeAnti Natalist = China (One child Policy)
Singapore
Policies introduces to encourage large families:
� Tax relief for parents
� Encourages large families so couples dont have to pay lots of tax
� Family allowance for the 1st and 4th children
� Encourages up to 4 children so they can gain extra money
� Cheaper mortgages for large families

� Longer maternity leave
� Women know that they can go back to their job in the same position as before and
not have to worry about taking time off with their children
Success:
� From previous mistakes they made themselves optimistic goals which could be achieved
� Living conditions improved
� Less infant mortality
�
Birth rate increased resulting in the population increasing also

H aves and have nots
� TheMiddle East, has the highest current oil
production, but has reached peak oil (when oil
reaches it maximum level and then declines)
� Different countries have different resources, and
are not effected by a countries wealth or
development
� Consumption however is down to the wealth of acountry e.g. American has less than 5% of the
population, but uses 25% of the oil

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gcse-geography-edexcel-b 19/66
Alternatives to oil � Hydrogen:
Cars which run on electricity produced by combiningwater and oxygen, reducing oil consumption
� Biofuels:
Use plants and trees instead of using oil� Alternate cars:
Companies e.g. Ford releasing cars run on alternateenergy sources
�
Wind power:Using renewable energy sources in our homes
*All of the above will reduce the amount of oil that isused, therefore reducing the demand for oil also*

P opulation and resource theoriesTheory Malthus BoserupWhat do they believe?
What is their theory?
Why do they believe this?
That population grows
geometrically (2, 4, 8, 16 etc.)
and food /resources grow
arithmetically (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.)
He believed there were not
enough resources to supportthe population
That invention is driven by a
need to improve/change
something therefore when the
time comes people would
invent solutions to problems
they will faceHe thought revolution such as
THE GREEN REVOLUTION
where new types of crops are
created, would carry on
occurring in the future
Examples to support their
theory
Famine-not enough food to
support a population
THE GREEN REVOLUTION-
where we have Genetically
Modified our crops to meet
our needs . Improved
technology means that this is
now easier than ever

Factors effecting how we view living spaces
Age
Younger people seek out more variety in their social lives which
makes cities more attractive. Older people or those with familiesthen to find rural areas more attractive
MobilityPersonal mobility will affect how isolated we feel. Rural areas tend to
have more problems with mobility with a reliance on cars
Cultural
backgroundThe impacts on how we see places and how attractive we find them

Making living spaces sustainable
City How they are an example of sustainability
Barcelona
(Spain)
Created a scheme called bicing;, similar to London
bike riding scheme encouraging people to ride a
bike to work instead of taking a car
Havana
(Cuba)
When the Soviet Union collapsed they lost theirmain food supplier so had to grow their own food,
so used all the available land they had in the city
Reykjavik
(Iceland)
Uses geo-thermal energy as their heating system,
and using it as their energy source with 0.1% of
energy coming from fossil fuels

I ndustrialisation and De-industrialisation
� Industrialisation is a good way of measuringhow industrialised a country is
� De-industrialisation is a decline in
manufacturing and a growth in tertiary andquaternary
� Reasons for de-industrialisation:�
Reduced demand for traditional products due totechnology
� Greater competition for countries like China and India
� Mechanisation has increased productivity and reducedthe number of workers needed

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gcse-geography-edexcel-b 37/66
C ase studys of an industrialising
country
� Mexico (industrialising):� Originally mainly agriculture (primary)
� Moved to secondary so more people have moved to
urban areas� Manufacturing was attracted here because:
± Large highly skilled workforce
± Large consumer markets
± Low distribution costs
±Close to the governments who make the final decisions
� Re-export businesses have appeared close tothe USA border, resulting in a growth in theinformal sector
8/6/2019 GCSE Geography-Edexcel B
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gcse-geography-edexcel-b 38/66
C ase study of a de-industrialising
place� Glasgow (Scotland):
� Originally jobs were in manufacturing but then the
situation changed so most jobs are in the service sector
� Due to the fact there was a lack of investment and
innovation leading to growing overseas competition
� Led to a point of economic decline and
deindustrialisation, resulting in high unemployment,
population decline and poor health
� The decline led to a growth in service industries e.g.
retail, finance and tourism
� Now turned to art as its main heritage to attract both
visitors and jobs

Regeneration of brownfield sites
� Negatives of the regeneration of brownfield
sites:
� Often more expensive to redevelop
� Regulations for reclaiming the sites can often be a
barrier to new development
� Some sites can be important wildlife habitats
� Fort Dunlop (Birmingham)
� Used to be factories but in 2002 was refurbished and

Green employment
� Green employment attempts to improve the air
and water quality and improve the environmente.g:
� Making green products
� Constructing green buildings
� Offering green services
� Quaternary services (architects constructing green buildings)
� Examples in more detail:� Eco-tourism (Ayers Rock) try's to respect the environment
and local people but reduce the impacts of tourists e.g. highcost, low income
� Recycling (Brazil) introduced separation and recycling of itswaste, makes money when sold onto factories which fundssocial programmes e.g. schooling

V ariations in eco-footprints
� Eco footprints vary due to many reasons:� Type of transport used e.g. walk or take the bus
� Higher incomes in the population
± More people can afford to holiday abroad, expensive products and
food
� Footprints also vary between countries:� In the DEVELOPED WORLD people consume, import, spend,
travel more
� In the DEVELOPING WORLD people consume, import, own and
use less e.g. electricity
� This is mainly due to the income of the country/person
� In rural and urban areas in a country the footprints
vary due to the reasons at the top of the page
8/6/2019 GCSE Geography-Edexcel B
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gcse-geography-edexcel-b 48/66
� Citys footprints expand past their boundaries dueto many things:
� Waste ± A city produces so much waste that there is not enough space to
dispose of it in the city
� Energy ± Energy is created outside the citys boundary and transferred into the
city centre
� Food ± Transported from farms outside the city or from other countries
±SOLUTION buy from farmers markets, or grow your own
� Water ± Comes from outside the Citys area
