What is the effect of high rent in urban areas?
Cramped living conditions and the need for roommates.
How does distance from the CBD affect bid rent?
The closer to the CBD, the higher the bid rent; the farther, the lower.
What is the impact of high agricultural density?
Likely indicates less advanced farming techniques and greater pressure on arable land.
How does climate affect population density?
Favorable climates tend to attract more people, leading to higher population density.
What are the effects of good transportation infrastructure on population density?
Encourages settlement and can lead to higher population density.
What is the effect of high population density on political participation?
Increased political participation as more people are involved in local issues.
What is the effect of high population density on markets?
Creates larger markets for goods and services, attracting businesses and supporting economic development.
What is the effect of high population density on social diversity?
Leads to more diversity and cultural opportunities, but also more congestion and potential social conflicts.
What is the effect of low population density on community bonds?
Potentially stronger community bonds and less stress.
What is the effect of high population density on local governments?
Creates challenges for local governments, as they must provide more services to a larger population.
What is Population Density?
Number of people in a specific area, measured as people per square kilometer or mile.
What is Arithmetic Density?
Total population divided by total land area.
What is Physiological Density?
Total population divided by the amount of arable land.
What is Agricultural Density?
Number of farmers divided by the amount of arable land.
What is Gross Density?
Total population divided by total urban area.
What is Net Density?
Total population divided by residential area only.
What is Floor Area Ratio (FAR)?
Total floor space divided by total land area; measures building intensity.
What is Site Density?
Number of dwelling units per unit of land; measures housing density.
What are Suburbs?
Lower-density housing, single-family homes with yards, often found in exurban areas.
What are Tenements?
Overcrowded housing in poorer areas, a significant issue in many developing nations.
Compare Arithmetic and Physiological Density.
Arithmetic: population/total land. Physiological: population/arable land. Physiological shows pressure on farmland.
Compare Physiological and Agricultural Density.
Physiological: population/arable land. Agricultural: farmers/arable land. Agricultural shows agricultural efficiency.
Compare Gross and Net Density.
Gross: population/total urban area. Net: population/residential area. Net gives a more accurate picture of residential density.
Compare suburban and urban residential patterns.
Suburbs: lower-density, single-family homes. Urban: higher-density, apartments, less space.
Compare high and low population density in terms of political activity.
High: More political participation, more government challenges. Low: Less political activity, more local autonomy.
Compare high and low population density in terms of economic markets.
High: Larger markets, higher costs. Low: Smaller markets, more resource access.
Compare high and low population density in terms of social factors.
High: More diversity, more congestion. Low: Less diversity, stronger community bonds.
Compare the limitations of arithmetic and physiological density.
Arithmetic doesn't show distribution or resource pressure; physiological doesn't account for technology or food imports.
Compare the limitations of physiological and agricultural density.
Physiological doesn't account for technology or food imports; agricultural doesn't include all food production methods.
Compare the advantages of suburbs and urban areas in terms of housing.
Suburbs offer more space and single-family homes; urban areas offer higher-density housing and proximity to amenities.
