2nd fieldwork trip Flashcards
(23 cards)
the hypothesis -
the regeneration of Kelham island had a positive impact on the surrounding areas to some extent.
why was Kelham island chosen for that??
was accessible. one of the oldest industrial sites in sheffield.
visit each site and score the predetermined environmental factors from 1-5 =
Method 1 - environmental quality survey.
sampling method - stratified sampling, 5 at each site.
strengths of using environmental quality survey =
- quick and simple to do.
- a range of factors were assessed.
weaknesses of using environmental quality survey =
- given on opinion.
- conclusion based on one small area.
- not all factors were appropriate for every site.
identify the land use of each area, using one of 7 options =
Method 2 - land use survey.
sampling method - stratified, 1 at each site visited.
strengths of using land use survey =
- data is easily collected.
- quick, simple to do and did not need special equipment.
weaknesses of using land use survey =
- based on opinions.
- not every area was analysed.
visit each site and identify a minimum of 3 descriptive words to describe each area =
Method 3 - word bank.
sampling method - stratified
strengths of using work bank =
- quick and simple to do.
- did not need special equipment.
- captures the feel of the area.
weaknesses of using word bank =
- opinion based.
- some wrote 3 words and some wrote paragraphs.
- not accessible to students with weak vocabulary.
risks =
busy roads = risk of accidents while crossing the roads - students should walk in pairs.
injury = walking and tripping - teachers carry first aid kit, teacher supervised for each group.
general public = risk of verbal abuse from the locals - students should be polite.
strengths of using index multiple deprivation =
- Official data that has been collected and check by the government, accurate.
weaknesses of using index multiple deprivation =
- may not be up to date/
strengths of using a community newsletter =
- recent article. written by people living in the community.
weaknesses of using a community newsletter =
- potentially biased.
strengths of using radial charts to present data =
- shows all criteria on one graph.
- all sites are easily comparable.
- shows an average, not biased.
weaknesses of using radial charts to present data =
- difficult to interpret.
- time consuming.
- colours can cause confusion.
strengths of using bar charts to present data =
- simple.
- easily comparable.
strengths of using photo annotations to present data =
- clearly shows the different sites.
- enables a visual reminder.
weaknesses of using bar charts to present data =
- time consuming.
weaknesses of using photo annotations to present data =
- only shows a snap shot of time.
the hypothesis was
proved to be right.
