Through geography we seek to understand
these differences
in patterns of human distribution,
interrelationships between human society
and the physical
environment, people's use of the Earth in
time and space, and how these differences
are related to
people's cultures and economies.
 
A population is defined as a group of
individuals of the same species living and
interbreeding within
a given area. Members of a population often
rely on the same resources, are subject to
similar
environmental constraints, and depend on
the availability of other members to persist
over time.
 
Population geography is a division of human
geography that focuses on the study of
people, their
spatial distributions, their characteristics,
and their density.

The importance of a spatial perspective for
demographic research has received
considerable
attention over the past few decades.
Population geography addresses

Population geography explores how spatial variations in population distribution, composition, migration, and growth are connected to geographic features. It focuses on the interplay between human societies, the physical environment, and cultural aspects. Factors influencing population distribution include environmental resources, climate, and access to technology and transportation.
