The Geographical Analysis of Population: With Applications to Planning and Business

Abstract

This textbook concerns the geographical analysis of population dynamics focusing on change at the local level and on the application of this approach to planning and business. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce some of the fundamental geographic notions that provide a foundation for the geographical analysis of population....Chapter 3 contains material on fertility and mortality while Chapter 4 focuses exclusively upon the migration component of change....Chapters 5 and 6 treat the traditional demographic problems of population estimation and projection and in Chapter 7 we devote special attention to the modeling and forecasting of migration flows. The second half of the book is concerned with the implications that population distribution composition and change have on applications in the public and private sectors. The primary geographical focus is on the United States. (EXCERPT)
