Higher education is rapidly expanding in the field of Human Geography of Asia. The study studies the localized environment as well its relationship to economics, culture, and community. Students from many disciplines are increasingly interested in Asia because it hosts three of the largest countries in the globe.
Prerequisites
Studying the physical and social geography of Asia requires a thorough understanding of its natural resources and land use. The Indo-China region is a particular focus. This area is home to a large number of countries, as well their populations.
To be covered
The study of Asia's diverse societies and peoples is called human geography. The region has traditionally been dominated by agriculture, though urban centers have played a major role. Although most East Asians still live in rural settlements, Asian cities have become huge, complex, and cosmopolitan. They are now the centers of commerce as well as education. 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 sometimes be confusing to identify the different ethnic groups within Asia. While these groups may appear similar in appearance and language, they are not all the same. For example, there is the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean. Let's take a look at these different groups to get a better idea of their similarities and differences.
Oceanic boundaries
Asia's geography human-geography is divided into several key areas. Asia's eastern and southern borders are the Indian Ocean as well as the Pacific Ocean. Asia is further divided into islands which are part of the continent via seas and straits. More than 40 countries are represented on the Asian continent. It accounts for one-third the total area of the earth's land. Asia also has many small islands like Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia and the Malay Archipelago.
Coastal regions
Coastal regions are areas close to the ocean with high population density. These areas are frequently affected by changes in land usage, the environment, and human activities. They can have a positive impact on the coastal ecosystems, but also can negatively.
Mountains
Asia has 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. While other areas of Asia like Georgia, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Georgia are experiencing slow growth rates, the Middle East has one of the fastest population growth rates.
