It is a critical field for demographic study on population distribution and redistribution in space of places. Traditionally, it is generally studied from economy, society, culture, ecology, geospatial, history and so on for population distribution and redistribution theory to explain population distribution and migration at a stated period or a certain region. This must be led to disruptive research and not accurately for us to understand the essence of population distribution and redistribution.Aimed at problems and shortages in the study of population distribution and movement theory, this paper tries to combine population distribution and population movement with the second law of themodynamics and the dissipation structure theory. On the whole developing history of human being, it makes a system study of large scale of space time for population distribution and population movement. In terms of that, it can be recognized in essence of those phenomenon or formed the population distribution mechanism theory which could be a better interpretation for most population distribution and movement at different time and in different districts.Centering on thesis statement, this paper can be divided into eight chapters and with its outline as follows:Chapter 1 IntroductionCombines with present situation and shortages in the study of population distribution and movement theory at home and abroad, this chapter gives a demonstration of intention and significance of the study. According to that, this chapter is dealt with research method, basic idea, logic framework and main innovation as well.Chapter 2 Related Basic Theories for the Research PaperThis chapter gives a brief introduction for the view of humanized nature, the second law of themodynamics and related theories, dissipation structure theory and the grand evolutionary synthesis which are according to dialectical materialism. Meanwhile, it illuminates possiblity and scientficity of research on problems of sociology by means of natural sciences concept and law.Chapter 3 Thermal System and Essence of Human Consumption.This part draws a conclusion with having talked about the essence of human consumption from thermal system analysis of living body. That reveals human body likes a dissipation structure which needs continuous negentropy from outside environment, whereas consumption procedure is a procedure for human body intaking negentropy. Based on that, this chapter also sumarizes types and features of human consumption from the angle of energy.Chapter 4 Essence of Manufacture and the Internal Energy Flow.As well as consumption, it is not simple of human productivity just like it shows apparently. Essentially, based on knowing and understanding of objective world, targets in energy types used in comsuption, producitivity is a movement which could consciously convert from unconsumable energy to consumable energy. Among this, it is the internal energy flow from conscious convertion by human. Consisting of food chain energy, technology chain energy flow and information chain flow, it is also a summation for all types of energy and negentropy source of human. The progress of human society finds expression in the continuous improvement of energy flow on the absorption rate and thermal efficiency.Chapter 5 Population Distribution TheoryFrom thermodynamics model of population capability and optimum population, chapter 5 reveals a fact that both of population number and per capita energy consumption level in social system are had a huge impact by effective energy of internal energy flow. In regional spatial distribution, this theory expresses population distribution is in accordance with distribution status of regional effective energy. In social system, population fertility is an important system frequency which drops with the rise of average per person effective energy. Population number will rise with expansion of internal energy flow under the circumstance of without triggering population fertility drop mechanism and will realize population distribution according to reigional effective energy. On the contrary, population distribution will redistribution by means of movement. Chapter 6 Population Movement TheoryThe driving force of population movement derives from the different of population energy density and the energy potential difference force in unbalanced developing areas and regions.As well as population redistribution in terms of population multiplication, population movement result narrows regional different population energy densitys. The Law of Population Energy Densitys is the machanism according to reginal effective energy distribution through natural population change and movement poplation change of human being itself. As the same of general population movement, population Rural-Urban Migration is the result of redistribution by regional effective energy distribution. Since human-induced, Rural-Urban Migration is headed to urbanization. And basic reason is that, in energy converter, source of converted energy and rural-urban energy exchange, urban areas is better than rural areas, which causes more rapid growth movement than the internal energy flow of rural areas. It highlights the three advantages by industrial revolution and arises the urbanization in modern time.Chapter 7 The Concise History of Population Distribution Evolvement in the World.The aim of this chapter describes the outline of population distribution according to internal energy flow during a long period time.In line with different energy converters, it can be divided into three periods of human histroy, that is, period of hunting and gathering, bio-energy converter, and non-bio-energy converter. The features of population distribution and redistribution in the three periods are diceded by specific type for energy getting. Besides, changs of population distribution in regions and areas is developping to density increase, expanded range and degree of freedom rise.Chapter 8 Conclusion and RevelationThis chapter is a sumary for the whole task. As a matter of fact, it concludes basic conclusion and viewpoint. Meanwhile, the paper makes tentative study on population distribution and redistribution at present of China, for the sake of making new ideas in research and practice for following researchers and social governors.The main contribution of this study in theory is systematically bringing forward a new style for the study of population distribution and redistribution—population distribution and creation theory. Centering round this theory, the author constructs a huge conceptive system which first sets out the external energy flow, food chain energy flow, technique chain energy flow, information chain energy flow, regional internal energy flow, urban energy flow, rural energy flow, the thermal efficiency of internal energy flow, per capita effective energy, regional effective enregy, fair coefficient, the population energy densitys, energy circumstances difference and so on. All of above concept is primarily raisedby author himself. Besides, for the first time, this paper bring forward arranging model from human body Dissipation Structure systematic energy input, thermodynamics model of the population carrying capacity and optimum population, the population energy densitys law model, and the law of energy exchange unequal.
