Chapter 1 – Section 3
Key Question: Why are “different”
places “similar”?
I. Scale: From Local to Global
Details
Patterns
A) Globalization – Economy

World is shrinking
Space-Time
Compression*
 Transnational
Corporations*

Decisions Makers
vs. Workers*
(Spatial division

of Labor)
B) First “Global” Recession
A recession is…*
 Past recessions…*
 Beginning in 2008…*
 “The fate of a home buyer in the United
States was tied to the fate of a banker in
the United Kingdom, a sales clerk in
Japan, a clothing maker in China, and a
construction worker in Nigeria. All were
caught in a global-SCALE web of falling
demand and lack of credit” (text pg 30)

B) Globalization of Culture
Same wants*
 Globalization*

(religion/language)
Local differences*
 Contemporary
Social Problems*

II. Spatial Thinking
A) Spatial Distribution
– “the
arrangement of a feature
in space”
Not Random*
Definition
B) Spatial Distribution (3 ways)
1 – Density – Key word in Definition is
“frequency”.
Definition: The frequency with which
something occurs in space.
Basic Type – Arithmetic (population)
density which is population (total
land area of country
Test Hint: Large Population
does NOT equal high density.
 For
Example:
 China’s
Population Density is
360 persons per square mile.
 Belgium’s Population Density is
900 persons per square mile.
United States = 84 persons/mile
Test Hint: High Population Density
does NOT mean a country is poor
For Example:
 The Netherlands (one of the world’s
richest) is 1,031 persons per square mile.
 Mali’s (one of the world’s poorest) is 10
persons per square mile.
 US population density = 84/square mile
 Florida’s pop. Density = 353/square mile

2) Concentration
Key Word is definition is “spread”.
 Definition: Concentration is the extent of a
feature’s spread over space.
 Can have same density but different
concentrations*

3) Pattern
Key word in definition is “geometric”.
 Definition: Pattern is the geometric
arrangement of objects in space.
 Common Patterns*


X X X X
X
Population Density?
“The Same”
Concentration?
“Slide 1 – Clustered, Slide 2 – Dispersed”
Pattern?
“Varies”

III. Connections Between Places
A) Most of history…

…Communication did
not change much…
People either told each
other or wrote it
down.
Then things start to change…
Today – communication is almost
instant (space-time compression)
B) Spatial Interaction
(limitations)*
Who most likely knows more about
Cuba?
C
B
Example of the 3rd
Limitation of spatial
Interaction – Distance
Decay! (see vocab)
A
Cuba
Time to study
“space” by
reading and
taking notes
about diffusion.
Lucky you!!!
III. Connections Between Places
C) Diffusion
(C) 2 – Expansion Diffusion

A) Hierarchical
Diffusion>>>>>>>>>>

B) Contagious
Diffusion>>>>>>>>>>

C) Stimulus
Diffusion >>>>>>>>>
Today, all types of “expansion”
diffusion can be very quick!
D) Diffusion of Culture/economy

1 – Centered on 3 Hearth (core) regions.
Often called _ _ _’s!!!!!
These Hearth Regions Are:
2 - THE REST OF THE WORLD:
These Regions(LDC’s):
*75% of the world’s population
 *Most of the world’s population growth
 *Little power but lots of cheap _________

Decision making in MDC’s with the “work”
done in LDC’s is called:
“The International Division of Labor”
Homework

Ways to Study for Chapter 1 test:
(in order of importance)
- Study, know, understand, live ALL vocabulary!
- Use the study guide as a way to review (found on
website Humansrus.com
- Study your notes/RTW’s – circle anytime there are
multiple points (ie. 3 types of scales)
- Window Shop the Chapter – Headings, maps,
diagrams, pictures, etc.
