Research Project
Student Learning Objectives: Research and analyze a developing country and a highly developed country using each human geography concept covered in the course. Discuss the potential for development the country has going forward and the sustainability issues they face.
Instructions: Choose a developing country that was formerly colonized. You will then compare it to the country that colonized it using each of the following: 1) Population, population density, birth rate, death rate, life expectancy; 2) migration patterns (% out migration, % in migration; 3) internet and social media access; 4) language(s); 5) religion(s); 6) ethnicities; 7) type of government; 8) types of agriculture, major crops, hunger statistics; 9) development levels: HDI, GII, HDI rank, GNI per capita PPP adjusted, top 1% share of income; 10) major industries, energy used by %; 11) major consumer, public, and business services, hierarchy of services/settlements; 12) urbanization, homeless, informal settlements.
This should be assembled as a spreadsheet (see project folder in BB) for the data, a document with a 2 – 3 page discussion about the potential for future development and a 2 – 3 page discussion about future sustainability for both countries, and references.
