Geographical environment provides survival means and production resources for the survival and development of human society. Without a certain number of people, society cannot be formed. Therefore, the population factor is the natural premise of a society.

At the same time, the existence and development of society depends on the production of material things and also on people's own production. Without population resources, society will naturally perish, the population will be greatly reduced and labor resources will be scarce. Therefore, society cannot develop and social production cannot be carried out. Therefore, the population factor is a necessary condition for the existence and development of society.
