14 week / Demography / Kang SeoJong

1. summary

Population statistics is the study of population dynamics. It includes studies of population size, structure, and distribution and how birth, death, migration, and aging change the population over time.
Demographic analysis of population statistics is a powerful tool to explain many sociological phenomena.
The study of the human population is rooted in social changes, which generally involve the scientific and industrial revolutions. Census, another demographic academic tool, was established primarily for political purposes. It was used as a basis for taxation or as a basis for political representation.
In addition, because demographics are interested in changing the human population, demographers focus on specific indicators of change.
Overpopulation refers to the overpopulation of living species exceeding the acceptability of ecological niches. Characteristics of overpopulation include child poverty, high birth rate, reduced life expectancy, unfamiliar literacy, increased unemployment (especially cities), small surplus foods, low GDP per capita, and gradually increasing crime rates. The solution to this overpopulation is called the Earth's role. Considering that the Earth will naturally regulate itself if it is excessive with the ecosystem, it can be said that disease or starvation is a natural argument to reduce the population. Also, there are solutions to overpopulation, which provide a combination of help aimed at self-sufficiency.
Urbanization is the physical growth of urban areas as a result of global change. The reason for urbanization is to move to cities and find economic opportunities. There are also basic services that are not available in rural areas, as well as other specialized services in urban areas.
As cities develop, economic effects increase, but environmental effects are both good and bad. As cities become urbanized, there are also problems that cause more heat waves such as heat islands in cities. However, the effects of urbanization can have a positive impact on the overall environment, which could aid overpopulation and halt disruptive livelihoods such as slashing and video farming. It also wants to minimize land use by humans, leaving more for nature.
 

2. interesting point

The story of 'Cityization' was interesting. Perhaps I was more interested in this era of living because urbanization was active and already much advanced. What I found most interesting was that urbanization had a positive effect on the environmental effects. I always thought that urbanization was a problem of global warming or environmental pollution. However, urbanization reduces the birth rate, preventing overpopulation and halting destructive livelihoods such as slashes and video farming. It also said it would minimize the use of land by humans, leaving more for nature. The first two points were understood, but the phrase "minimizing land use at the end" was not understood, especially since Korea is small in land, so it tries to use land and cuts mountains to create tunnels or flat land. I think this is a damage to nature. So I thought the final words were different from the urbanization of Korea.

3.discuss

I object to urbanization happening only in part. That's why South Korea is also trying to develop Sejong City and move its major industries to provinces. I also think that if Korean companies are not concentrated in Seoul but spread across Korea, unemployment will decrease. Most young people are trying to get jobs in Seoul or Gyeonggi Province, so they think the competition and unemployment rate increase. So I think it would be nice to have urbanization more distributed. What do other people think?
