In this context findings reveal that world population continues to increase rapidly especially in underdeveloped regions of the world and is aggregated in these regions and major urban areas of the world.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Scholars, who are interested in population, address the connections between population, environment and sustainability and desire to reveal more details about this relation.

Key Findings & Data:In this context findings reveal that world population continues to increase rapidly especially in underdeveloped regions of the world and is aggregated in these regions and major urban areas of the world.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Results point out that many environmental and developmental problems are eventually global since ecosystems are not obligated to accord with national borders; that consumptions patterns together with population dynamics and their spatial differences must be considered in political agenda and that there an increasing need for interdisciplinary studies in order to understand complex interaction between the population dynamics, environment and sustainability

Abstract

Scholars, who are interested in population, address the connections between population, environment and sustainability and desire to reveal more details about this relation. This article aims to investigate how global population dynamics affect environmental deterioration and sustainable development and thereby to provide a new initiative for new researches. In line with this purpose, population data published by the United Nations is evaluated together with body of literature in this article. Findings show that population dynamics are highly associated with human-induced environmental changes and sustainable development. In this context findings reveal that world population continues to increase rapidly especially in underdeveloped regions of the world and is aggregated in these regions and major urban areas of the world. This study asserts that population dynamics increase poverty, hamper access to resources and trigger migration in underdeveloped societies by causing environmental deterioration at global and local scale, depletion of resources and an unsustainable development. Results point out that many environmental and developmental problems are eventually global since ecosystems are not obligated to accord with national borders; that consumptions patterns together with population dynamics and their spatial differences must be considered in political agenda and that there an increasing need for interdisciplinary studies in order to understand complex interaction between the population dynamics, environment and sustainability

Özet

Nüfusla ilgilenen bilim insanları, nüfus, çevre ve sürdürülebilirlik bağlantılarını incelemektedir ve bu ilişkinin ayrıntılarını daha fazla ortaya çıkarmak istemektedir. Bu makale, küresel nüfus dinamiklerinin çevresel bozulmayı ve sürdürülebilir gelişmeyi nasıl etkilediğini soruşturmayı ve böylelikle yeni araştırmalara açılım sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca uygun olarak makalede Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından yayınlanan nüfus verileri, güncel alan yazınıyla birlikte değerlendirilmektedir. Bulgular, nüfus dinamiklerinin insan kaynaklı çevresel değişikliklerle ve sürdürülebilir gelişmeyle fazlasıyla ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda bulgular, dünya nüfusunun özellikle az gelişmiş bölgelerde hızla artmaya devam ettiği ve bu bölgelerde ve dünyanın büyük kentsel alanlarında kümeleştiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, nüfus dinamiklerinin küresel ve yerel ölçekte çevresel bozulmaya, kaynakların tükenmesine ve sürdürülemez bir gelişmeye yol açarak, az gelişmiş toplumlarda yoksulluğu arttırdığını, kaynaklara erişimi güçleştirdiğini ve göçü tetiklediğini ileri sürmektedir. Sonuçlar, ekosistemler ulusal sınırlara uymak zorunda olmadığı için birçok çevre ve gelişme sorununun doğal olarak küresel olduğuna; tüketim paternleriyle birlikte nüfus dinamiklerinin ve bunun mekânsal farklılıklarının politik gündemde hesaba katılması gerektiğine ve nüfus dinamikleri, çevre ve sürdürülebilirlik arasındaki karmaşık etkileşimi anlamak için disiplinler arası çalışmalara daha fazla ihtiyaç olduğuna işaret etmektedir
