Asian Pacific Populations
- The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth.
- The 2 most populated countries in the world are found here. WHAT ARE THEY?
CHINA and INDIA
- The Asia Pacific region also features large areas of low populated environments
- WHAT DO U THINK THESE ARE?

Asian Pacific Populations
- Although there are many large cities, much of the land area has low POPULATION DENSITIES
- Most of the land is so mountainous, forested, barren, hot or cold that few people live there.
- Mongolia and Australia have the lowest population densities in the region. WHY?
![Page 5: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Pacific Islands - There are 20 000 to 30 000 islands scattered across the
pacific ocean.
- About 14 000 000 people live on islands in the pacific
- Only Fiji, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand have large numbers of people.
- Australia is the largest neighbour of most pacific nations. This region is often referred to as OCEANIA
![Page 6: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
POPULATION DENSITY
- The population density of a region is a measure of the number of people per square kilometer who live there.
- It is calculated by dividing the regions population by its area (in square kilometers)
![Page 7: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
POPULATION DENSITY
- MONGOLIA’S population density.
Population: 2 667000
Area: 1 564 160 square km
Population density= 2 667 000
1 564 160
= 1.7 people per square km (Round answer to nearest decimal point).

ACTIVITY
- Pick one of the following countries and calculate the population density.
- As a class arrange the countries in decreasing order of population density.
![Page 9: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Population Density across the Asia Pacific Region
![Page 10: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DISCUSSION
- Why is the Asia Pacific region
such an area of contrasts with respect
to its population? Give examples.
- Compare countries with large population
densities (e.g. Bangladesh) in contrast to
Australia (2.5 people per square km).
- Using the previous slide describe where
the bulk of the Asia Pacific population
is distributed. Suggest reasons for this!
![Page 11: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Australia’s Human Environments
- Population density of the Aboriginals
was highest in coastal and river areas
where food was plentiful.
- They were hunter gatherers who
survived on native animals
(kangaroos, wallabies) fruits and
grubs.
- When food supply ran low,
they moved on.
![Page 12: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Australia’s Human Environments
- European settlers adopted a
new type of settlement
- They changed the natural
environment.
- Brainstorm the ways in which
you think they did this.
WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?
- Building permanent towns
and clearing land to build farms
![Page 13: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Australia’s Human Environments
- 86% of people now live in towns that have a population of 1000 or more.
- The distribution of Australia's population is heavily concentrated on the urban areas along the south east coast.
- There are many reasons why Australians prefer to live in coastal regions rather than in inland areas.
- WHAT MAY BE THE REASONS FOR THIS? Discuss with the person next to you and be ready to share your
answers.
![Page 14: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Australia’s Human Environments
- CLIMATE: South Eastern Australia has a pleasant temperature climate and good rainfall which enables the region to support a wide range of farming activities
- RELIABLE WATER SUPPLY: Rivers to the east of the Great Dividing Range provide a reliable water supply.
- HISTORY: Settlements grew around big harbours for transport of migrants, exports and imports. Provide a base around which towns and cities grow
![Page 16: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Asian Pacific Land Use
- Traditionally the bulk of people in the Asia Pacific made a living off farming.
- Agriculture is still very important. WHAT ARE THE MAIN PRODUCTS PRODUCED IN THE REGION?
- Rice, Wheat, Beef, Wool, etc - HOWEVER: The economies of countries
have changed, and therefore land use has been changing.
![Page 17: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Asian Pacific Land Use
- Key economic activities include: manufacturing, agriculture and fishing.
- Rapid growth in industry.
- Large scale manufacturing takes place in: China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Asian Pacific Land Use
AGRICULTUREThe most populated Asian Pacific regions
are also the most suitable farming.- Main crops are wheat and rice (90% of worlds rice
comes from Asia, mainly China and India)- Rubber and Tea is produced in Thailand, Indonesia and
Malaysia.- India produces bulk cotton and sugar- Livestock farming includes: sheep, cattle, poultry, camels
and pigs, while fishing is a vital industry in coastal regions
- Australia and NZ are major exporters of wool.

Asian Pacific Land Use
RAW MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
- The exploitation of mineral deposits influences the way land is used.
- Mines and processing centers are established while roads and railways may be built to transport raw or processed goods.
- Most heavy industrial and manufacturing activity occurs in countries such as India, China, Taiwan and Japan.
![Page 22: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Changing Land Use
- The change to modern industries and related infrastructure, has bought increased wealth and an improved standard of living in the Asia Pacific region.
- HOWEVER these changes are raising concerns. WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY MIGHT BE?
![Page 23: Humanities: Geography Level 5. Asian Pacific Populations - The Asia Pacific Region has the largest and most diverse population on earth. - The 2 most.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649da75503460f94a92977/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Changing Land Use- Growing environmental problems:Air pollution, Land degradation, Industrial waste
- Impact on the distribution of flora and fauna which can affect the food chain.
- Pressure on natural resources created by a rapidly growing population and increasingly limited supply of land and water
