Learning objective
Explain human geography, reproduce the worked example and justify a decision in the case study.
Before you begin
Climate and landforms
Understand
Human geography studies the distribution of people and activities and their relationships with space. Density is population divided by area; it is an average, not a description of every neighbourhood.
Worked example
A fictional commune with 12,000 residents over 40 km² has density 300 people/km². Residents may be concentrated near markets and transport.
Analysis and common mistakes
A high municipal average does not mean every parcel is densely occupied.
Case study — reasoning
Where should a library go? Combine learner locations, journey times, accessibility and available buildings; density alone is insufficient.
