Paper 3 : Fieldwork Flashcards
enquiry question for river fieldwork, key facts, why we chose study site?
Investigate downstream change on River Tillingborne
- 19km long river
- mainly forsted/sandstone
- 59km2 drainage basin
used this site bc it was accessible and safe
QUANTITATIVE
description of technique used , purpose, limitation and improvments
river tillingbourne
HYDROPROP: faced direction of flow /time how long impelar took to spin to end
CORK : use 2m tape measure and time how long cork takes to complete 2m
DEPTH : use ruler
WIDTH ; tape measure for bank to bank
PURPOSE: - calculate discharge
- not much equipment needed
LIMITATIONS: - hydroprop sometimes broke/human error
- cork got stuck in vegetation/wind
- depth affected by water flow/bedload
IMPROVEMENTS - REPEAT
- for width use laser
- digital hydroprop
what is stratified sampling?
sample divided into categories with equal no samples taken from each category
systematic smapling?
- where observations are taken at regular intervals
risk asessment for TILLINGBOURNE : hazards and how to minimise risk
HORSES : dont go near
WATER ; appropriate footwear/group working
VEILS DISEASE: hand sanitizing
QUALITATIVE
description of technique used , purpose, limitation and improvments
river tillingbourne
- sketch river
- anotation based on human and physical intercation
PURPOSE - assess land use/see benefit of channel management
- easy,quick method,
- lost of different variables
LIMITATIONS - subjective
- only 1 perspective
- nto accurate/precise
IMPROVEMENTS -
- Use photos
- set 360 view
- repeat at different times of yr
river tillingbourne
how did u present data / how did this method help?
SCATTER GRAPH - show velocity against downstream
SKETCH - reviews benefit of management/land use
CROSS SECTION GRAPH - show shape of channel
river tillingbourne
how was data analysed
compared velocity at different parts of river - usefult to see changes
river tillingbourne
CONCLUSIONS / give evidence
velocity/discharge increases downstream
- scatter graph velocity increased as distance downstream increased
- cross section got deeper/longer, so more erosion/velocity/discharge
- Crossways Farm/ Gomshall are anomalies but due to human error
enquiry question for urban fieldwork, key facts, why we chose study site?
what is the impact of regeneration of Leatherhead?
- 40-45 mins from London
- needs more homes/offices
- historic, market town
accessible/safer so used this site.
QUALITITATIVE
description of technique used , purpose, limitation and improvements
LEATHERHEAD
ANNOTATED PICTURES : labelled social,enviro,economic factors of place
(before/after) benefits of regeneration
QUESTIONAIRRE
PURPOSE - see if regeneration was needed
- see overall impact on ppl’s lives
LIMITATIONS- photos overglamorise/dont have 360 view (one sided view)
- questionairre is biased, small sample size
IMPROVEMENTS
- photos 360 view
- balance AD/DIS of regeneration
- ask more ppl in questionaire/repeat at different times of day
LEATHERHEAD
RISK ASSESSMENT: hazards/how to minimise risk
TRAFFIC - look/listen to instructions
SKETCHY PEOPLE - sensible abt who u approach /work in groups
GETTING LOST - stay in group
QUANTITATIVE
description of technique used , purpose, limitation and improvements
LEATHERHEAD
EQA - rate place out of 5 in different categories
PURPOSE- assess whether regeneration is needed
LIMITATIONS - subjective - not accurate/reliable
IMRPOVEMENTS - ask more ppl
- lower scale of rating
- get a value for data
LEATHERHEAD
how was data presented /how was this helpful?
WORD CLOUD - relatively useful- saw ppl’s view on town
RADAR GRAPH - useful to see what needed to be improved/patterns but a bit unclear
BAR GRAPH - useful to see how many ppl though regernation benefitted town
LEATHERHEAD
how was data analysed/how did it help?
recognised patterns in graphs/drew conclusions
- saw whether word on wordcloud were positive
- used to see overall impact regeneration
