Abstract: | The data presented in this paper are aimed at giving a more realistic account of the relation between population and the land actually available for its occupation and use. They result from a breakdown of the figures of two successive censuses (1948 and 1957) which is not normally available, the measurement of small, local areas and the calculation of densities in them, and the recognition of two clearly marked, major ecological regions. These data have been briefly related to historical and social conditions. Map, tables, bibliography. |
