Europe's Human Geography
Learning intentions:
- To describe the population density of countries
- To use mathematical skills accurately
- To use data to compare countries in Europe
12
What is human geography?
Human geography is about understanding the ways people live, the things people do, and the ways they interact with the environment:
Urban geography - studying towns and cities and pollution
Cultural geography - studying different cultures and ways of life
Economic geography - Studying money, jobs and inequality
Political geography - studying how countries are run
Development geography - studying wealth and quality of life
Medical geography - studying the control and spread of diseases
13
The population geography of Europe
Population geography looks at where people live in the world
It is useful for comparing different countries
Some countries have lots of people living in small areas
Some countries have a few people living in massive areas
14
Left - countries of Europe / Right - Populations of European countries
15
Multiple Choice

UK
Germany

Multiple Choice
Which European country has a population of 45 million?
Ukraine
Poland
Romania
17
Multiple Choice
Which European country has a population of 0.3 million?
Finland
Ireland
Iceland
18
Population density
Some countries are packed full of people, whilst others have plenty of space to spread out
Densely populated countries have many people in a small areas
Sparsely populated countries have few people in large areas
Most countries in Europe are packed full of people, mostly living in towns and cities
19
Areas with lots of people in a small area are densely populated / Few people in an area means it is sparsely populated
20
Multiple Choice
Lots of people in a small area means it is...
Densely populated
Sparsely populated

22
Open Ended
Use compass directions to describe the population density of Europe (where are its densest and sparsest populations?)
23
Open Ended
Why might knowing how densely populated a place is be useful?
24
Why is population density important?
It tells us if people have enough room to live healthily.
It tells us about the type of homes people live in (e.g. detached houses or high-rise apartments).
It tells us how many services (e.g. hospitals, dentists, buses) and resources (e.g. water, food, electricity) are needed.
25
Calculating population density
To work out a country's population density we need to do some basic maths - yay!
Population density = the number of people divided by the area they live in (measured in km2)
So if 20 people live in 20m2... 20/20 = 1 person/km2
26
Calculating the population density of Europe
Europe's population is around 740 million people
The area of Europe is around 10 million km2
Population / area = population density
740m / 10m = 74 people per km2
27
Open Ended
What is the population density of Iceland?
Population = 300,000
Area = 100,000 km2
28
Open Ended
What is the population density of Gibraltar?
Population = 33,000
Area = 10 km2
29
Multiple Choice
What is the population density of Bulgaria?
Population = 7 million
Area = 100,000 km2
7 P/Km2
70 P/Km2
700 P/Km2
30
Multiple Choice
What is the population density of Belarus?
Population = 10 million
Area = 200,000 km2
5 P/Km2
50 P/Km2
500 P/Km2
31
Why else is population geography useful?
We can ask people questions about their ethicity, religion and habits to compare different places
We can find patterns and differences between countries and within countries
This can help us to understand other people and cultures better
32
