Chapter 4. Population Distribution and Migration Patterns
Abstract
Population distribution and migration patterns are crucial aspects of human geography, influencing a variety of factors such as social, economic, political, and environmental dynamics. Understanding these patterns is essential for urban planning, policy-making, and resource allocation. In this section, we will discuss the definitions and concepts related to population distribution and migration patterns.
