I'm so confused on what case studies to use for population. I'm confused between using ageing and youthful and China one child policy. The wording of the questions confuse me... What do I use for ....
Social economic and political implications of population change?
Managing population to achieve sustainable development..
And two case studies of countries at different stages on development
The implications of different structures for the balance between population and resources
I get confused on the case studies

I will be using CGP case studies for managing populations as uganda is a youthful population and UK is an ageing population. These 2 case studies is what i was taught

I believe population change/managing Population change can refer to migration, ageing & youthful or the population policies. Meanwhile, the balance between population and resources just refers to ageing and youthful. I'm not 100% sure on this so don't take my word for it fully.

Yeh could be used to talk about the changing characteristics of rural and urban areas as a result of population change. However this came up as a 15 marker in 2014.

Hi guys. So I saw there was no geog thread for AS geog so I made one Feel free to ask questions and post whatever you like here as long as it is related to geog
And thought I'd let everyone know, I will be posting my notes on TSR throughout the year for the topics that I will be learning this year which are as follows:
Rivers, Floods and Management
Cold Environments
Population Change
Health Issues

hi I learn about health issues and i was wondering what do you think could come up in health issues

The perfect 15 markers would be:
Rivers - Discuss between hard and soft engineering processes that can reduce the likelihood of flooding...
Population - discuss how have two countries at different stages of development tried to manage their population...
OR
For any two what the following types of areas summarise the contrast between them and explain the implications of these contrasts for social welfare: inner-city, suburban, rural urban fringe or rural settlements
Cold environments - outline and evaluate the formation of drumlins using the two theories...
Energy - compare the energy mix of two countries...

Please could you explain to me the formation of drumlins???????

You can use transmigration in Indonesia for a population management strategy can't you????

Could anyone possibly write some bullet points which outline the effect of population change/migration on rural and urban areas as we haven't had time in class? Many thanks

Anybody got anything on the three gorges dam as a case study for hard engineering on rivers, or an alternative?

i have brief notes:
can hold 22km of flood water
holds yangtze river, 3rd longest in world - seasonal flooding in june / aug
1954 flood killed 33,000 & 18m homeless

pros -
large boats can use
can resist a 1 in 100 year flood
largest HE power station in world - supplies 3% of china's energy

Cons-
inc erosion
sediment build up - dam failure
reservoir has flooded 1000 villages, 2m people relocated
destroy habitats

Hope this helps :smile:

I think this will come up but in terms of socioeconomic and the differences in social welfare

Could anyone tell me what transmigration is and if we have to know a casestudy for it? The only migration casestudy i have been taught is Poland to the UK!

Transmigration is when a country transfers part of it population to outer lying areas. Case study to know is Indonesia who have a population of 200million and were sending people to the outlying islands. The government put into palace schemes such as; free transport, 2 acres of land, accommodation, enough food for first harvest for those who migrate to sparsly populated areas. The scheme didn't work as people started to milo be back so it wasn't as successful as first thought and the population further grew by 18 million so the success of this was not the best. Good luck for tomorrow!

you just need 2 case studies of how countries manage their population - so china one child policy etc. Transmigration is just another example of this, people being mived between island of the same country ( indonesia)
polan to the UK is not managing the population as the people are choosing to leave rather than it being a management policy. You just need 2 case studies of contrasting areas of the world management policies. If you dont have any - id suggest china and france, theyre really simple and thers lots of documents on here for them x

Do you know anything about the effects of population change/migration on rural and urban areas by any chance?
