  1. Population Hsu-cherng Chiang

  2. While modern humans are generally believed to have been around for over 100 000 years, it is only in the past 10 000 years that total global population is believed to have ever exceeded a few million people - roughly the population of Madrid, Spain or Nairobi, Kenya (Kremer 1993). After the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (~10,000 BCE), population growth started to accelerate, doubling every 600 to 1000 years between 3000 BCE and 1000 AD. By 1800, it was growing fast enough to double in just one hundred years. Between 1959 and 2000 the Earth's population doubled in just 40 years! By one estimate, the number of new mouths to feed each year peaked in 1989 at around 87 million (roughly the equivalent of Ethiopia's current population). In 2010, the planet was still adding 1 million people every 4.8 days (US Census Bureau 2011). Source: http://na.unep.net/geas/newsletter/images/Jun_11/Figure1.png

  3. 人口數 • 世界人口(1650年) – 5億 • 世界人口(1820年) – 10億 • 世界人口(1930年) – 20億 • 世界人口(2011年9月) – 69億 6229萬 • 台灣人口(2011年4月) – 2317萬 • 台灣人口密度: 每平方公里639.7人

  4. 人口大量增加的環境問題 • 人數 X 每人使用資源數量 X 單位資源使用量對環境的影響 = 環境影響 • 在人為控制下大量物質非閉合的輸入輸出 • 資源的消耗超過資源本身及其替代品生產的速度 • 污染物大量排放超過自淨能力 • 古者丈夫不耕，草木之實足食也；婦人不織，禽獸之皮足衣也。不事力而養足，人民少而財有餘，故民不爭。是以厚賞不行，重罰不用，而民自治。今人有五子不為多，子又有五子，大父未死而有二十五孫。是以人民眾而貨財寡，力勞而供養薄，故民爭，雖倍賞累罰而不免於亂。 <<韓非子>>

  15. 台灣重要人口統計指標 • 由於出生人數減少、死亡人數增加，我國人口自然增加人數持續遞減，惟受外籍配偶增加而使社會增加人數隨之遞增的影響，近年來我國總人口每年仍約增加7-8萬人。 • 由於預期壽命延長，若社會中每一代出生數比上一代少，這個社會的人口就會逐漸高齡化；因此，我國0-14歲人口比率持續下降，而65歲以上人口比率持續上升，人口高齡化程度愈來愈明顯。 • Source: http://www.cepd.gov.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0000455 16

  16. 台灣2010年及2060年人口金字塔(中推計結果) 2010年 2060年 歲 100 90 男性 女性 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 250 150 50 50 150 250 千人 • 2010年人口金字塔為中間大、兩頭小之燈籠形，代表勞動力供給充沛。 • 2060年人口金字塔將轉變為上寬下窄之倒金鐘型態，社會負擔相對較重。 17

  17. Some Sobering Facts • One-fifth of the world’s population live on less than $1/day • 1.5 billion lack access to clean water • 2.4 billion lack access to sanitary facilities • 790 million are malnourished • Environmental degradation is rampant • Fertility rates highest in poorest countries

  18. Millennium Development Goals • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • Achieve universal primary education • Promote gender equality and empower women • Reduce child mortality • Improve maternal health • Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases • Ensure environmental sustainability • Forge a global partnership for development Link: http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Development_Goals

  24. Basic Human Needs • Drinkable Water • Edible Food • Safe Housing • Health Care • An Education • A Job

  25. Urban environmental pollution • Waste water treatment • Air quality – smog • Solid waste

  26. Undesirable Impacts of Urban Sprawl • Environmental pollution (Water, air, solid waste, …) • Loss of crop land, forest land, and wetlands • Fragmenting fish and wildlife habitats • Increased impervious surfaces means more flooding • soil erosion • a larger ecological footprint
