What Makes a Community Sustainable?

Water

Water is a huge factor of a landscape. Water comes in lakes,ponds,oceans and sea's. Water is essential to life and sustainability in many ways. First, how is industrialization of food possible when there is no water to keep the soil fertile. This will make the community very hungry and always searching for meat. Second, no source of water is bad for health and medical reasons. Scarce sources of water will make the life in the community thirsty, leading the community collapse. 80% of illness in developing communities are due to the lack of water. Finally how would people treat medicine, and clean their bodies. In developing communities and Africa get sick due to no bathing. 80% of illness in developing communities are due to the lack of water sources. So having water as a physical landscape in a region is very important to its sustainability.

Terrain

Terrain is very important because it affects how the community acts in trading, buying, and selling.

Animals

Population Density is the number of people living per the unit of an area.

The formula for calculating population density is
number of people divided by area of land

Links with population distribution, which is the spread of people across the world ( or where people live )

Population Distribution contains three categories

Clustered Distribution

Clustered distribution refers to when an area
has very clustered density, and it's population are
very packed together.

Clustered distribution is commonly seen
in urban areas.

Linear Distribution

Linear distribution refers to when an area has
a density where it's population is in a linear order.

Linear refers to straight, which means
that the population on some maps is shown
in a straight line, which may vary in different directions

Scattered Distribution

Scattered distribution refers to when an area has
widely spread distributions of people.

Scattered distributions usually applies in rural areas

Subtopic

Contains three main categories of density

Low Density

Low density usually refers to when the density
of an area is below 50 people per square kilometer
