17
Q

How can you present this Physical geography?

A

A Kite diagram or proportional circles

18
Q

What are 3 advantages of a kite diagram for physical geography?

A

-displays change over distance
-easy to interpret
-easy to make comparisons

19
Q

What are 3 DISadvantages of a kite diagram for physical geography?

A

They are visually subjective –>scale influences effect
Only works with a specific range of data
Time consuming to construct by hand

20
Q

What can you use to plot proportional circles?

A

arcGIS

21
Q

what is an advantage of using arcGIS for proportional circles?

A

The data is plotted onto a map to display vegetation coverage

22
Q

What is a disadvantage of proportional circles?

A

they can blend together and be difficult to read

23
Q

How can we make our enquiry more reliable (time of year)- physical?

A

Record at different times of the year —> summer will have less vegetation

24
Q

what is a benefit of systematic sampling?

A

it avoids bias and gives a rounded representation of the area

25
Q

what primary data did we use for HUMAN enquiry?

A

environmental quality survey, housing quality survey and took pictures

26
Q

what secondary data did we use for HUMAN enquiry?

A

Census data, zoopla for house prices, newspapers

27
Q

What technique did we use for our environmental and human enquiry?

A

Bipolar analysis table, add all numbers at the end in TOTAL HOUSE QUALITY column

28
Q

how does the bipolar analysis work?

A

better score, better housing quality

29
Q

What can we use to display our human data?

A

A bar chart

30
Q

Why can we use a bar chart for this?

A

it is categorical data

31
Q

What is a benefit of bar charts?

A

Easy to analyse at a glance and see trends

32
Q

what is a disadvantage of a bar chart?

A

a lack of categories can mask trends in data

33
Q

what categories did we look at for human data?

A

size of garden, maintenance of outside house, parking space, traffic congestion

34
Q

What is an advantage of a photo?

A

Quick, cheap, visual

35
Q

What is a disadvantage of a photo?

A

It can mask deeper socioeconomic issues (overcrowding)

36
Q

What is a disadvantage of human data primary?

A

It can be subjective

37
Q

What is a disadvantage of bipolar analysis?

A

It used a small -2 to 2 scale

38
Q

What is an issue of the sample size we used?

A

It was very small and does not give a rounded view of distance from the CBD

39
Q

How can we improve our human statement with secondary data?

A

pair it with the census to validate

40
Q

what did we use OS maps to display?

A

pathways, golf courses, bridleways
