Population Geography is a subfield of human geography that examines the spatial distribution, density, growth, and movement of human populations. This course focuses on the analysis of population structures, demographic trends, and population-related challenges across different regions. Students will explore how factors such as birth rates, death rates, migration, urbanization, aging, and population policies shape societies and influence development at local, national, and global levels.

Objectives: 

• Understand key concepts and terminology related to population studies.
• Analyze population distribution patterns and their relationship with physical and human environments.
• Examine demographic indicators such as fertility, mortality, and migration.
• Evaluate the impact of population change on social, economic, and environmental development.
• Interpret and construct population pyramids, maps, and statistical models.
• Discuss population policies and strategies for managing population growth or decline.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Define and explain core terms such as crude birth rate, dependency ratio, and population density.
• Interpret demographic data and trends using charts, graphs, and geographic tools.
• Assess the causes and consequences of population growth, decline, and migration.
• Analyze the role of population in development planning and resource distribution.
• Apply spatial thinking to predict population impacts on urban planning and the environment.
• Evaluate different national population policies, including pro-natalist and anti-natalist strategies.
• Identify the challenges of overpopulation, aging populations, and refugee movements.
