    Population Density Project

    Uploaded by

    min nb
    This document discusses population density and defines key terms like population and population density. It provides examples of calculating population density for different areas like suburbs, rural areas, and cities using hypothetical maps. The document then has students calculate population density for their campus and Bangkok. Students are asked to research population figures and area for Bangkok to calculate its actual population density. The document discusses how a city can have a larger population but lower density than Bangkok. Finally, it discusses interpreting population density data and the impacts of high versus low density areas.

    Population Density

    Applying Area to the Real World


    Objectives

    • Define and understand the purpose of population density.


    • Find population density for different situations.
    • Research population density and interpret population density.
    PART 1
    Discovering Population Density
    In your own words...

    1. What is a square kilometer?

    Write your definition here...

    2. What is the different between population and population density ?

    Write your response here...


    Determining
    Population
    Density
    Figure A represents one square kilometer
    in a suburb (or moo). Each box represents
    a house or building (or ban). Estimate the
    population density:

    Estimate here... people / sq. km

    Do the same for figure B & C. Estimate


    each population density for a square
    kilometer:

    Rural Area Estimate here people / sq. km

    Urban Area Estimate here people / sq. km


    Observing KMITL
    Using Google Maps.

    Screen shot a region on KMITL campus.

    Crop the image so itʼs a square and insert


    it into Figure D.

    Determine the dimensions of your image


    and how many buildings there are in your
    picture.

    Estimate the population density:

    Estimate here people / sq. km

    Which region ( suburb, rural, urban ) is


    KMITL? Explain.

    Write response here...


    Without research!
    Guess the population density of
    Bangkok.

    Write your estimate here...


    PART 2
    Understanding and Interpreting Population
    Density
    Research your city...

    WHAT IS THE POPULATION OF


    BANGKOK? (PROVIDE THE YEAR WHAT IS THE AREA OF BANGKOK
    THIS VALUE IS FROM) IN SQUARE KILOMETERS?

    Write your response here... Write your response here...

    USING THE INFORMATION ABOVE. CALCULATE THE


    POPULATION DENSITY FOR THAT GIVEN YEAR.

    Write your value here... people / sq. km

    WERE YOU CLOSE TO YOU


    ESTIMATE IN PART 1?
    QUESTION:
    HOW CAN A CITY HAVE A
    GREATER POPULATION THAN
    BANGKOK, BUT A LOWER
    POPULATION DENSITY?

    Write your response here...


    Outside of Greater Population Density
    Bangkok City Pop. Density
    (pp/sq. km)
    Use the World Population Density
    Map.

    Find three cities in neighboring


    countries that have a great
    population density than Bangkok.
    Lower Population Density
    City Pop. Density
    Find three cities in neighboring (pp/sq. km)
    countries that have a lower
    population density than Bangkok.
    Extra Research

    1. What city has the greatest population in the world?


    2. What city has the greatest population density in the world?
    3. Which city of the two has a larger area?

    1. Write your response here...

    1. What are the benefits of living in a very densely populated area?


    2. What are the drawbacks of living in a very densely populated area?

    1. Write your response here...


    2. Write your response here...
    Extra Research

    1. What are the benefits of living in an area with low population density?
    2. What are the drawbacks of living in an area with low population
    density?

    1. Write your response here...


    2. Write your response here...
    Final thought...

    • If a country wanted to decrease the population density of its big cities


    but not decrease its overall population, what could it do? Explain.

    Write your response here...


    PART 3

    Calculating & Interpreting


    Population Density
    Fill in the first box with information from Bangkok. Then, use the
    values to calculate the missing information in the following boxes.
    Using the cities and the data from the previous slide. Answer the
    following:

    A major drought has affected food resources throughout the country. If you had a
    choice of these cities, which one would you want to be living in at this time? Give 2
    reasons you are choosing this city.

    • Write your response here...


    Using the cities and the data from the previous slide. Answer the
    following:

    As a scientist working for a secret society, you and your team have discovered that
    a zombie outbreak will occur quickly in the coming months. It spreads from human
    contact. You have decided to relocate your family. Which city will you choose to
    move to? Give 2 reasons you are choosing this city.
