Introduction

Land use pertains to different factors on how the actual land is being used, such as mix, density, roadway design, connectivity, and transportation. In chapter 16, it was stated that adverse impacts could happen on land use in once the creation of accessibility is done by new transport facilities (Sinha & Labi, 2011). This study will present one of the land use impacts towards transportation along with its importance. Additionally, GIS or Geographic Information System will be discussed as well as its relationship with the transportation economics. Although there are issues that were identified, there are significant relationship ...

Community health is regarded as a critical economic driver in developed nations. In the US, the Healthy People Vision 2020 has been developed to identify the community, family, and personal illnesses that cause significant nation burden of disease.

In view of this, the current paper will assess the community health needs and risks of the King`s County community in Washington. The paper will analyze their needs towards work related injuries in relation to the ...

In preparing for this assignment, a list of all countries of the world by land area was obtained from the CIA website and was sorted in a spreadsheet from countries with the largest land area to countries with the smallest land area. A total of 224 countries were obtained, and after elimination of all countries with a land area smaller than Belgium, a total of 137 countries remained. Data on global infant mortality rates was obtained for each country in the reduced list and was recorded as deaths/1000 live births . To obtain a dissection of these figures in to ...

According to the World Bank , population density is a measure of the numbers of persons permanently settled in a region, divided by the total land area of the region in square kilometres or square miles. This formula excludes refugees who are not permanently settled and who are still considered part of the population of their native country. The formula also excludes from the measurement of land area, any inland water bodies such as rivers and lakes and the area of the continental shelf. This formula can be used to measure the population density of a region, a state, a ...

Mathematical model.

In 1985, Kallen, Arcuri and Murray (377-393) presented a simple mathematical model for the spread of the rabies epidemics to approximate the minimum width of a break and enable the control of the spatial progression of rabies.

Features and assumptions of the model.

The model developed by Kallen, Arcuri and Murray (377-393) was based on a deterministic approach where the fox populations were categorized into two groups, namely infective and susceptible foxes. In this classification, the infective foxes included those with rabies virus present in their saliva while the susceptible ones included those without traces of rabies virus in their saliva. One of the assumptions ...

Human population has experienced explosive growth over the recent decades. Population dynamics is a multifaceted aspect that encompasses not only population size, growth and density, but also the peculiarities of urbanization and migration taking into account such variables as age and sex (de Sherbinin et al., 2007). Lam, (2011) points out that demographic change is closely related to the three aspects, namely urbanization, fertility decline, and investment in children. “The growth of the world population goes hand in hand with global urbanisation: while around the year 1950 less than 30% of people lived in the cities, this proportion has ...

Introduction

It is known that high population density could increase the risk of infectious diseases as well as non-infectious diseases. Crowding is also associated to higher crime rates, social disorganization and higher mortality rate according to several empirical studies (Altman, 1981). Another element which is related to high population density is noise. Crowding and noise could affect individuals in a variety of ways. The behavior of individuals could also be affected by crowding and noise especially when their territoriality, privacy and personal space are disturbed. People tend to become aggressive and frustrated when their territoriality, privacy and personal space are affected. ...

Question 1

Capitalist relations in the society contribute to the development of a number of infectious diseases. This tendency began in 1400 when capitalism started to develop at fast pace. On each stage of capitalism development so called “signature diseases” emerged. For example, “Bubonic plague in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries emerged as a result of the opening of trade routes to Asia, carried by merchants and warriors from the middle of the then world system west to Europe and east to China.” (Robbins, ch. 8). Urbanization processes started at that time when industrialization processes initiated by manufacturers attracted more ...

It is important to understand some of the history of these two countries and the history of their conflicts to have a greater understanding of why their ...

Why The Earth Axis Is 23.5°?

As everybody knows, there are four seasons on Earth: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Many people believe that the seasons change because the earth's orbit is elliptical and the distance between the earth and the sun keeps varying. It is not absolutely wrong, but the season changes over time are mostly caused by the rotation axis of the Earth to its orbit. The earth's rotation axis is not vertical to its orbit; it is tilted at 23.5 degrees to its orbit. Knowing the difference of each area’s biome and seasonal differences have been irrelevant to most people in ...

1. Describe the concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space. The traditional explanation of territoriality was emphasized on the marking off and protection of a physical border line from invasion by those of similar kind. Of late, the definition has been modernized to refer explicitly to oversee the space around an organism, particularly the distance between themselves as well as with others of the same species (Linda 2010). In humans, territoriality falls inside three domains: the public, primary and secondary. Public territories are open to any person. They pursue the basis of first-come first-serve. Primary territories are that are ...

Introduction

New Urbanism is an urban planning concept which promotes walkable neighborhood design. During the early part of 20th century American urban areas started seeing a population boom as many people emigrated from other areas to stay in the cities. This necessitated the state and city council to design and develop urban areas in such a way to accommodate more population and use lands effectively. During that time automobile also came into usage. Cities planned during and after World War II were highly influenced by the revolution of automobile and were less concerned about land usage. Automobile helped design bigger cities. Before ...

Presently, it is a matter of common knowledge that global warming is among the most prominent problems affecting all regions f the world in equal measure (Sobey 46). Worth mentioning is the reality that, global warming is usually associated with carbon gases; carbon (IV) oxide, commonly referred to as carbon dioxide, being the most prominent. Scientists and environmentalists have established that 21.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, thanks to the use of fossil fuels. Research further indicates that natural processes can only consume up to half of the released amount. The net effect is the ...

Introduction

In the starting years of twentieth century the world population reached to million people and it can be said that developing countries were the major contributors. Asian countries including china contributed to 80% of the total population growth in the world. Majority of the researchers believe that population growth is strongly connected to the economic development in a country. It is also deemed the relation between these two is a close one and in other words it can be said that population plays an integral role in economic growth (Bloom 1997). There is a wide range of argument about the impact of ...

Overpopulation occurs when the numbers of organisms exceed the carrying capacity of a habitat. It is of growing concern that the number of humans will grow too large and the earth will be unable to sustain their numbers. Normally, if the carrying capacity is exceeded, death occurs to maintain equilibrium. Humans, however, have devised mechanisms to circumvent the natural processes that would normally control their population levels. For example, the discovery of antibiotics and modern crop control ensure humans can exceed their carrying capacity. It is of increasing concern what implications this will have for planet earth and the survival ...

This paper is about the sexual selection. It shows how sexual selection has an enormous effect on the evolutionary changes with different characteristics selected for and against (Brewster and Houde 2003, p. 1057). The common result of this phenomenon is the directional selection. This is where phenotypes indicate high fitness level resulting to an increased number of offspring in this phenotype (Brooks and Endler 2001, p. 1007). By increasing the rate of directional selection and opportunity for the sexual selection methods, the ability of survival and the average fitness will increase. The processes involve dauer processes. Dauer entry is ...

The Effects of Population Density and Noise

Population density can be defined as the measurement of the amount of individuals in a given area (Lerner & Millon, 2003). The percentage is determined by dividing the number of individuals by the area. In the last United States census, the mean population density was 87 individuals per square mile. This measurement is not widely applied in the average individual’s daily life and is only considered as a fact of the growing population. However, when issues of pollution, noise, territory, privacy, and space are considered, then it clearly reflects the effects of population density. Many individuals are not aware of ...

Population density is the number of people per unit area. It is a statistic frequently used to compare places worldwide. It is simply the number of people per square mile or the number of people per square kilometre. Mathematically, this is arrived at by dividing the total area population by the area of land in square miles or square kilometres. It is a rough estimate of population distribution across an area. Population density can always be calculated once the land size and the total population of that area is known. From the world population figures, it was seen that Asia ...

The world's populace increases by approximately 80 million people each year, according to the population reserve website, Population Connection. And with most of this inhabitants occupying comparatively small urban areas, it is not astonishing that population density is a mounting cause of concern. And while there are many unconstructive impacts of high population densities, there are also a few constructive ones.

A person living an area with a high population density will recurrently be making contact, deliberately or not, with the area's other human inhabitants. A municipality's busy sidewalks, subways and, buses, all serve as centres for the transmission of pathogens. An ...
