Higher education is rapidly expanding in the field of Human Geography of Asia. The study examines the localized environment and how it relates to economics, community, cultural values, and other factors. Students from many disciplines are increasingly interested in Asia because it hosts three of the largest countries in the globe.
Prerequisites
A study of Asia's physical and human geography includes an analysis of the region’s natural resources as well as land use. The Indo-China area is the main focus. This area is home to a large number of countries, as well their populations.
These are the topics to be covered
The study of Asia's varied societies and populations is known as human geography. This region was largely agricultural in the past, but urban centers played an important role. Although the majority of East Asians still live within rural areas, Asian cities are complex, cosmopolitan, and large. They are also the global hubs of commerce, education and technology. While many cities in East Asia have seen significant changes, others have retained their traditional culture and ways of life.
Various ethnic groups
It can be difficult to understand the differences between Asian ethnic groups. Although these groups may seem similar in terms of appearance and language, they do not always look the same. There are the Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean. Let's look at these diverse groups to better understand their similarities as well as differences.
Oceanic boundaries
The human geography of Asia is divided into several major areas. Asia is bordered by the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. In addition, Asia is divided into islands that are part of the continent by seas and straits. The Asian continent has more than forty countries. It is home to one third of the entire world's land area. Asia contains many small islands including Taiwan, Japan and Indonesia.
Coastal regions
Coastal regions are areas close to the ocean with high population density. Changes in land use and the environment can have a significant impact on these areas. These activities can affect the ecosystems in the coastal regions, but they can also negatively impact them.
Mountains
Asia is a continent with many mountain ranges. The Himalaya, which occupies a significant portion of Asia, is the world's largest mountain range. The region also has a variety of other terrain, including large deserts and arid plains.
Population dynamics
While the rates of population growth in Asia vary widely, the region is set to grow to five billion people by 2050. India, on pace to surpass China's, is on pace for doubling its growth rate by 2030. Others in Asia, including Georgia, Armenia and Kazakhstan, experience slow growth. The Middle East, however, has one of highest populations growth rates.
