Q

Why use beach profiling

A

To measure the changing gradient of beach in either side of groyne to see if long shore drift is still occurring and defences are working

Q

Why beach profiling as a method

A

Clinometers were used as they are an accurate method of measuring angles. Allows us to plot a clear graph

22
Q

For physical investigation how did we present our data

A

Sketches and beach profiling graph

23
Q

Why present data as sketches

A

Annotations provide info about landscapes and conditions
Photos support sketches
We can look back at details

24
Q

What do sketches show

A

Long shore drift has been managed and control
Weather conditions were recorded

25
Q

What did beach profiling graph show

A

The beach was wide and high on groynes west side
Long shore drift deposits from west to east

26
Q

Conclusion on physical investigation

A

Erosion and long shore drift managed
Beach nourishment and groynes/seawall effective

27
Q

Data from physical investigation

A

5m wider 7m higher then east of groyne
Gradient 5-7• on west
1-2• on east

28
Q

Problems with physical data collection

A

Beach nourishment placed a lot of sand onto beach
So data less reliable

29
Q

Limitations of physical data collection

A

When high tide occurred couldn’t access one side of groyne
Weather prevented access
No beach profile on that side

30
Q

What other data could be useful for physical investigation

A

Satellite images can show sediment deflected by groyne
Taking pictures over time to observe changes in

31
Q

We’re physical conclusions reliable

A

Only partly reliable as we only had a certain amount of data

32
Q

We’re physical conclusions reliable

A

Only partly reliable as we only had a certain amount of data

33
Q

Hypothesis of the human investigation

A

Visitors numbers increased
Public confidence in governing bodies increased

34
Q

Why data collection methods used for human investigation

A

Questionnaire
Environmental quality serve

35
Q

Sampling method for questionnaire

A

Approach members of public with open and closed questions to receive opinions on changes

36
Q

How does questionnaires link to hypothesis

A

Help to prove it as more people visit due to new facilities employment increased in area

37
Q

Why did we do questionnaires

A

To obtain different opinions from locals experienced first hand

38
Q

Why use questionnaires

A

An be easily collected and graphed
Cost efficient way of of collecting data

39
Q

Survey sampling method

A

Each site scored from 0-5 on noise litter vandalism facilites

40
Q

Survey link to hypothesis

A

Weather regeneration has improved the environment and facilities

41
Q

Why use surveys

A

To see if employment and environmental quality has increased in area
Publics opinion of the area

42
Q

Why survey as a Method

A

A range of factors could be assessed easily collected and plotted onto bipolar graph

43
Q

How did we present human data

A

Bar charts and bi polar graphs

44
Q

What do bar charts show

A

Opinions and answers from questionnaire

45
Q

Why use bar charts

A

Clear and easy to read
Quickly see trends and anomalies

46
Q

What do bipolar graphs show

A

Show results from survey
Opinions of each site Individually

47
Q

Why use bipolar graphs

A

Visual and clear to see
Different colour for categories
Comparable
Confusing to read

48
Q

Conclusion of human investigation

A

Regeneration not successful
Complaint of empty shops
Some areas still rundown
Street not very attractive not looked after

49
Q

Data from human investigation

A

50 people asked -68% thought unsuccessful -32% thought was
90% thought town looked ok
Most areas scored 3-4 high street scored 2

50
Q

Problems with human data collection methods

A

-Only half a day in town inaccurate results
-bad weather could influence thought
-some avoid doing questionnaire

51
Q

Limitations of human data collection

A

Length of time assessing not many questionnaires filled out

52
Q

Other data that could’ve been useful to human investigation

A

Photographs at different times
Census data to understand employment rate

53
Q

Are human conclusions reliable

A

Partly reliable not enough data
Need to be over multiple days

54
Q

Are human conclusions reliable

A

Partly reliable not enough data
Need to be over multiple days
