The Cultural Landscape by Rubenstein Name: ________________________ Chapter 2: Population and HealthReview Packet Key Issue 1: Where is the World’s Population Distributed? _ Pages 48531. The world’s population is highly clustered, or concentrated in certain regions. FOUR major population concentrations are identified in the text. Shade and label the areas of these concentrations on the map in red. TWO smaller concentrations, or emerging clusters, are also identified. Shade and label these areas on the map in blue. 2. In the boxes below, make note of significant facts, features, countries involved, and characteristics of the four most important population concentrations and two secondary ones.

3. Define ecumene: 4. What would non ecumene mean? 5. In the table below, list the four “lands” which are sparsely populated on earth. For each region, explain the reason which makes it inhospitable for human habitation. Sparsely Populated Land Reason(s) for InhospitalityDry LandsWet LandsCold LandsHigh Lands6. Define arithmetic density: 7. Define physiological density: 8. What occurs when the rate of physiological density increases? 9. Define agricultural density: Key Issue 2: Why Is Population Increasing?Pages 54591. Define crude birth rate (CBR): 2. Define crude death rate (CDR): 62The Cultural Landscape by Rubenstein Name: ________________________ Chapter 2: Population and HealthReview Packet

3. Define natural increase rate (NIR): 4. What is the NIR today? 5. When did the global NIR peak, and what was it? 6. About how many people are being added to the world’s population each year? 7. Define doubling time: 8. In what world regions is most growth occurring? 9. Define total fertility rate (TFR): 10. What is the global “average” TFR? 11. Note the rates and locations of the global “highs and lows” in TFR. 12. The demographic transition is a ________________________ with several ___________________ and every __________________________ is in one of the stages. 13. Fill in the chart below with characteristics describing each stage in the demographic transition model (CBR, CDR, NIR, etc.). Characterize the amount of growth of each stage (low, high, decreasing (aka moderate) etc.). Demographic Transition ModelStage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 414. In the chart below, which represents the four stages of demographic transition, identify thecountry and where it is located which is in that stage and briefly describe how it got to thatstage. Use the DTM samples and population pyramids on pages 5657 to help you with this.63The Cultural Landscape by Rubenstein Name: ________________________ Chapter 2: Population and

How many countries are in each of the following stages of demographic transition? a. Stage 1? b. Stages 2 and 3? c. Stage 4? Key Issue 3: Why Does Health Vary by Region Pages 60671. Two important indicators of health in a country are infant mortality rate (IMR) and life expectancy. a. Define infant mortality rate: b. Define life expectancy: 2. How are these mortality rates distributed globally, in terms of the developed and developing worlds? 3. Compare and contrast reasons for variations in health care between developed and developing countries. 4. What is the sex ratio? 5. What types of countries/regions are likely to have more males than females? Why? 6. What does the “graying” of a population refer to? 64The Cultural Landscape by Rubenstein Name: ________________________ Chapter 2: Population and

What is epidemiologic transition? 11. Complete the table below with notes on the stages of epidemiologic transition: Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Possible Stage 5 (68)Key Issue 4: Why Might Population Change in the Future?

Identify the two strategies that have been successful in reducing birth rates and explain why they have been successful. a. b. 5.
