    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and...

    Population density (people per km 2) by country. This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1.

  3. Population density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density

    Population density (in agriculture: standing stock or plant density) is a measurement of population per unit land area. It is mostly applied to humans , but sometimes to other living organisms too. It is a key geographical term.

  4. Settlement hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settlement_hierarchy

    At this density, the settlement's population, spheres of influence, and gross domestic product tends to exceed that of most countries with lesser density. The need for administrative divisions , public transportation , public infrastructure and other government public services is critically essential for the sustainable growth and continued ...

  5. Sparse network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_network

    A simple unweighted network of size is called sparse if the number of links in it is much smaller than the maximum possible number of links : [1] = (). In any given (real) network, the number of nodes N and links M are just two numbers, therefore the meaning of the much smaller sign (above) is purely colloquial and informal, and so are statements like "many real networks are sparse."

  6. Desert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert

    The correlation between aridity and sparse population is complex and dynamic, varying by culture, era, and technologies; thus the use of the word desert can cause confusion. In English before the 20th century, desert was often used in the sense of "unpopulated area", without specific reference to aridity ; [ 2 ] but today the word is most often ...

  7. Dot distribution map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_distribution_map

    If the range of densities is too low (say, a ratio between the most sparse and most dense of less than about 1:10), the map will appear too consistent to be informative. If the range of densities is too high (a ratio of more than 1:1000), too many districts will be solid unless the dot value is decreased so much as to become invisible. [ 24 ]

  9. Population geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_geography

    the simple description of the location of population numbers and characteristics; the explanation of the spatial configuration of these numbers and characteristics; the geographic analysis of population phenomena (the inter-relations among real differences in population with those in all or certain other elements within the geographic study area).
