Geography Paper 3: Geographical Applications
SECTION A: Issue Evaluation
Cayman Islands
North America continent (sough of USA)
Capital City: George Town
High Income Country
Main business's for money (economy): tourism, banks
Should the port be built?
Advantages:
more tourism
more access to the islands
good impression to tourists instead of seeing cargos
Disadvantages:
- coral reef will be dredged
ecosystem effected
can attract tourists by building bigger airport
tourists in hotels spend more money
SECTION B: Fieldwork
Fieldwork
PORTSMOUTH (human): Investigate the variations of quality of life
Sample Technique
:
Stratified
: opinions of residents and non-residents.
Qualitative data
: personal accounts / opinions; eg. environmental quality server.
Data Collection Methods
:
Smartphone
: take photos of the different sites to compare the environment and infrastructure / quality of life.
Timer
/
Stopwatch
: count amount of cars driven past in 30 seconds, shows how busy the area is (employment, population) and the quality of air (carbon emissions); put on a
tally counter
.
Data Presentation Techniques
:
rador graph (all data collected put onto one graph / presentation)
SITE 1:
Charles Dickens ward
(poorest), SITE 2:
Town Centre
, SITE 3:
Gunwharf Quays
, SITE 4:
Hot Walls
DATA
Data Presentation Techniques
: Pie Chart, Bar Chart, Histograms, Pictograms, Line Graphs, Word clouds, Annotated Photos.
Data Collection Methods:
Quadrat, Anemometer, Ranging Poles + Clinometer, Smartphone, Callipers, Flow Meter, Thermometer, Tally Counter.
GIS
(geographical information systems):
advantages
: multiple information on map, spatial patterns and links, accessable
disadvantage
: complicated, difficult to see, might not be accessable to everyone.
Data Analysis
: mean, median, mode, range.
SANDOWN (physical): investigate how a stretch of coastline is managed.
Sample Technique
:
Qualitative data
: personal accounts / opinions; eg. environmental quality server.
Data Collection Methods
:
Quadrat + calliper
: randomly place the quadrat on the beach, within the 1m square look for stones and use the calliper to measure the height and width; enabling us to see how tranportation affects sendimentory rocks.
Ranging poles + clinometer
: poles ever 2m to see how erosion effects the gradient of the beach.
Longshire drift
: Tennis ball thrown into sea to see the transportation of the ball following the waves. Also, shows if the wave is destructive or constructive.
Data Presentation Techniques
:
rador graph (all data collected put onto one graph / presentation)
