AP Human Geography
Concepts of Development
![Page 2: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What determines economic development?
• Resources
• Population
• Colonial status
• Geographic Location
• Climate
![Page 3: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What does development look like?
Less Developed DevelopedPer capita incomes are low, and capital is
scarce.Per capita incomes are high and capital is
readily available.Wealth is unevenly distributed within
individual countries, e.g., Colombia, 2.6% of population owns 40% of the national
wealth.
Wealth is comparatively evenly distributed, e.g., Canada, 10% of
population owns 24% of national wealth.Primary industries dominate national
economies.Manufacturing and service industries
dominate national economies.High proportion of population engaged in
subsistance agriculture.Farming is commercial, efficient, and
mechanized.

What does development look like?
Less Developed DevelopedPopulations are rural; but cities are
growing rapidly. Populations urban, cities growing slowly.Birth and death rates are high and life
expectancy is low. There tends to be a high proportion of children.
Birth and death rates are low and life expectancy is high. High proportion of
people over 60 years old.
Inadequate or unbalanced diets resulting from a low consumption of protein; hunger and malnutrition common.
Adequate supplies of food and balanced diets; overeating sometimes a problem.
Diseases, especially infectious and parasitic diseases, common. Health care
poor.Low incidence of disease; good medical
services available.

What does development look like?
Less Developed DevelopedOvercrowding, poor housing, few public
services, bad sanitation--poor social conditions. Social conditions generally good.
Poor educational facilities, high levels of illiteracy--low levels of scientific and
technological development.
Education opportunities excellent, high literacy, advanced science and
technology.Women may be held in an inferior
position in society.Women are increasingly treated on equal
terms with men.

How is development measured?
• Gross Domestic Product Per Capita– aka GDP per capita– value of goods and services produced within a country within a given year– Other similar measures include GNP (broader value), PPP– Usually calculated in US dollars to allow comparisons between countries

How is development measured?
• Rates– Literacy– Infant mortality– Caloric intake– Natural increase– Inflation
![Page 12: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How is development measured?
• Occupational Structure of the Workforce– PRIMARY (agriculture)– SECONDARY (industry)– TERTIARY (services)– QUATERNARY– QUINARY
![Page 13: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Other Measures of Development
• Unemployment The number of people who (in a given year) were not working but were available for work and had taken steps to seek work. In some circumstances where employment opportunities are particularly limited in a country, the last criteria ("had taken steps to seek work") may be relaxed.
![Page 17: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other Measures of Development
• Telephone Lines Number of subscriber lines (business and residential) plus public telephones per 100 inhabitants. This series is calculated by dividing the number of main lines by the population, and multiplying by 100.
![Page 18: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Other Measures of Development
• Undernourished The percentage of the population whose food intake falls below the minimum requirement needed to meet dietary energy requirements on a regular basis.

Other Measures of Development
• Television Receivers Number of television receivers and/or number of licenses issued per thousand inhabitants.
• Water Resources per Capita Average amount of water that is available per person from rivers and groundwater each year.

Human Development Index
• Created by the United Nations• Measures three types of factors: economic, social,
and demographic– Economic factor selected GDP per capita
– Social factors are literacy and amount of education
– Demographic factor is life expectancy
• Factors combined for a maximum of 1.0 or 100%• 2001: Norway #1 with .944

Concepts of Development
• Developed vs underdeveloped
• Developing?
• LDC vs MDC

Core Periphery Model
• Scholars argued for this new approach• Sensitive to geographical differences and
the relationships among development processes occurring in different places
• Focuses on economic relationships– Core– Periphery– Semi periphery
![Page 24: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Core Periphery Model
• Core Regions– High levels of socioeconomic prosperity– Dominant players in global economic game
Anglo America HDI .94Japan and the South Pacific HDI .93Western Europe HDI .92Eastern Europe HDI .78
![Page 25: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Core Periphery Model
• Periphery– Poor regions– Dependent on the core– Do not have much control over their own
affairs
![Page 26: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Periphery Regions

Core Periphery Model
• Semi Periphery– Regions that exert more power than periphery
regions– Dominated to some degree by core
![Page 28: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The North South Divide
Based on the 1980’s Brandt Report. Suggested a simplified world contrast of development and undevelopment based on degree of industrialization and per capita wealth.

Models of Development
• Liberal Models– All countries are capable of development– Economic disparities are a result of short term
inefficiencies in local or regional market forces
![Page 30: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Models of Development
• Structuralist Models– Regional disparities are a structural feature of
the global economy– Things have come to be organized or structured
in a way and cannot be changed easily
![Page 31: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Modernization Model
• Walt Rostow, 1950’s• Liberal model• Development through international trade• Suggests that all countries follow a similar path
through economic development– Traditional– Preconditions to takeoff– Takeoff– Drive to maturity– High mass consumption
![Page 32: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Traditional
• Not yet started development• High % of people engaged in subsistence
agriculture• High % of wealth allocated to
‘nonproductive activities’ such as religion and military
• Rigid and unchanging social structure• Resistence to technological change
![Page 33: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Preconditions of Takeoff
• An elite group initiates innovative economic activity
• Country begins investing in new technology and infrastructure
• Stimulate increase in productivity
• Progressive leadership
![Page 34: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Takeoff
• Rapid growth facilitated by a limited number of economic activities
• Some sectors of the economic structure remain dominated by traditional practices
• Industrialization, urbanization, mass production
![Page 35: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Drive to Maturity
• Modern technology diffuses to wide variety of industries
• Industries experience rapid growth similar to the early takeoff industries
• Workers become more skilled and specialized
• Modernization in the core
• Population growth declines
![Page 36: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
High Mass Consumption
• Economy shifts from production of heavy industry such as steel and energy to consumer goods like refrigerators and motor vehicles
• High incomes
• Widespread production of a variety of goods and services
• Majority of workers in service sector of economy
![Page 37: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dependency Theory
• Structuralist alternative to Rostow’s model
• Political and economic relationships between countries and regions control and limit the economic development of less well off regions
• Dependency helps sustain the prosperity of the dominant regions and the poverty of the lesser regions
![Page 38: AP Human Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568152ba550346895dc0dd81/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dependency Theory
• Little hope for economic prosperity in regions and countries that have traditionally been dominated by external power
• Based on generalizations that pay little attention to regional differences in culture, politics, and society

Why do LDC’s face obstacles to development?
• Self-sufficiency
• International trade
• Financing development
