Full transcript
- 0:01this is the first part of a paper 3
- 0:03revision video paper 3 is 1 hour 30
- 0:05minutes long it's 30% of your GCSE
- 0:07that's 76 marks or six including six bag
- 0:10marks it's got section A and section B
- 0:12section A is based on the pre-release
- 0:14booklet that you've been given section B
- 0:17is General fieldwork questions and also
- 0:20um questions about the field workor you
- 0:21did in news lington and Blen cathra it
- 0:25tests your ability to plan carry out and
- 0:27evaluate research more than what you
- 0:29actually discovered so the kind of
- 0:30questions you'll get is what data did
- 0:33you gather um why um how did you gather
- 0:36that data why did you use those methods
- 0:38was it accurate were the results
- 0:40reliable um could it have been improved
- 0:42so it's basically testing the six areas
- 0:44of geographical inquiry your
- 0:46introduction and planning areas your
- 0:48methods and data collection um how did
- 0:50you present your data so you can analyze
- 0:52it and draw conclusions and then most
- 0:54importantly um your ability to evaluate
- 0:58um what influenced those results what
- 1:00could you have done better the questions
- 1:03are fairly predictable in this paper so
- 1:05it's really really worth listening to
- 1:07these videos and um remembering what you
- 1:10did and hopefully you will therefore do
- 1:12very well the first thing I'm going to
- 1:13do is to go through the newest lington
- 1:16human field work that we
- 1:18did you will remember we did our human
- 1:21field work in newest lington an area
- 1:23just Northeast of Picadilly in the city
- 1:25center between Rochdale and Ashton
- 1:27canals it's west of the etad stadium and
- 1:29you you will remember that it was built
- 1:31in the industrial revolution an area of
- 1:33factories and poor quality Victorian
- 1:35slum housing it was then redeveloped in
- 1:38the 1960s as the cardr estate but it was
- 1:41an area of high unemployment because a
- 1:43lot of those factories had closed and it
- 1:45became a sinker state with high crime
- 1:47few employment opportunities and so
- 1:49people moved out schools closed and
- 1:51because there weren't enough children
- 1:53and a lot of the housing became derel
- 1:55and boarded up as you can see in this
- 1:56Photograph then in 2002 Manchester City
- 1:59Council got together with property
- 2:01developer Urban Splash to regenerate the
- 2:03area they did this by knocking down a
- 2:05lot of the cardr estate and replacing it
- 2:07with modern architecturally interesting
- 2:09flats and houses including Flagship
- 2:12developments such as the iconic chips
- 2:14building and they cleaned up the canals
- 2:16and they created the cottonfield park
- 2:18and Orchard you'll notice that a lot of
- 2:21the ground floor of these buildings is
- 2:23taken up with offices restaurants and
- 2:25cafes that provide employment
- 2:27opportunities for people living there
- 2:29and this is attracted new people into
- 2:30the area and has increased employment
- 2:33younger people with young families have
- 2:34moved in and so now a new school has
- 2:36opened in the area and the area is now a
- 2:39Vibrant Community so our investigation
- 2:42asks the question has the Regeneration
- 2:45of new isington being a success this was
- 2:47the title and you'll need to remember
- 2:49that in paper 3 it's likely that you'll
- 2:52be asked to justify something in this
- 2:54case justify the location of your
- 2:56fieldwork justify simply means give
- 2:58reasons for in other words let give
- 3:00reasons for choosing new Islington as a
- 3:02place to study regeneration what reasons
- 3:04could we give well firstly it's recently
- 3:06been regenerated it's no good obviously
- 3:09studying regeneration in an area that
- 3:11hasn't been regenerated it was also next
- 3:14to a non-regenerated area so we could
- 3:16compare a regenerated area with a
- 3:18non-regenerated one to see if
- 3:20regeneration has made a difference when
- 3:22you're answering this type of question
- 3:24always link it back to the title which
- 3:25is why you must always remember your
- 3:27title and Link back to what you were
- 3:29trying to
- 3:31find we also could collect enough data
- 3:33in a couple of hours as the area wasn't
- 3:35very big and it was accessible just a TR
- 3:37ride away it was also safe so make sure
- 3:41you remember at least three of the above
- 3:43points now we need to be able to explain
- 3:46what the risks were with our fieldwork
- 3:47and how we avoided them so firstly we
- 3:49walked along the canal so the risk was
- 3:51falling in so we avoided this risk by
- 3:53keeping away from the edge and walking
- 3:54no more than to her breast there was
- 3:56also a risk on the tramps of getting
- 3:58divided from the group so we carried the
- 4:00school phone number with us and traveled
- 4:01in small groups with a member of Staff
- 4:03in each group thirdly there was a risk
- 4:05of getting um run over so we made sure
- 4:08we stood on Pavements or pedestrian
- 4:10areas while doing our surveys and we
- 4:12Cross Roads on The Pedestrian Crossings
- 4:14and we made sure we didn't have our
- 4:15earphones
- 4:17in so now we're going to have a look at
- 4:19the methods of data collection and
- 4:20you'll need to be able to describe
- 4:21justify and evaluate these methods
- 4:23you'll remember our title has the
- 4:25Regeneration of newest lington mean a
- 4:26success and we broke that down into two
- 4:28hypotheses regeneration has improved the
- 4:31environment in new Islington and
- 4:33regeneration has improved the economy of
- 4:35New Islington to test these hypotheses
- 4:37we could have collected lots of data
- 4:39I've just put some of those at the
- 4:40bottom of the slide there of all these
- 4:42we decided to test whether the
- 4:44environment is improved by using an
- 4:46Environmental Quality survey to judge
- 4:48how well well kept a place is and also
- 4:51to collect photographs which could then
- 4:52be annotated to show what the
- 4:53environment looks like in a regenerated
- 4:55and a non-regenerated area to test of
- 4:58the economy has been improved we decided
- 5:01to look at the value of Housing and the
- 5:02changes of that value over time using
- 5:05zupa as a
- 5:06source you remember about the different
- 5:08types of data so we have primary data
- 5:10that's data we collect ourselves so in
- 5:12this case the Environmental Quality
- 5:14survey and the photographs we took with
- 5:16primary data secondary data comes from
- 5:18another source so the value of housing
- 5:20we found on zuper was a secondary source
- 5:22we also have quantitative data that's
- 5:24numerical data so the zup housing data
- 5:27was was an example of that also the
- 5:29Environmental Quality survey was
- 5:31quantitative even though it was a
- 5:33subjective survey we put number value on
- 5:36that survey um the opposite of that is
- 5:38qualitative survey which is
- 5:40non-numerical so photographs field
- 5:41sketches that's an example of
- 5:43qualitative
- 5:44data so once you've chosen your data you
- 5:47then have to work out your sampling
- 5:48strategy you have to be able to justify
- 5:51this justify means give reasons for so
- 5:54we could have chosen three types of
- 5:55sampling strategy the first type was
- 5:57random sampling data collected that has
- 6:00an equal chance of being selected so we
- 6:02could have just um chosen at random
- 6:05areas to study the problem with this is
- 6:08it wouldn't have guaranteed that we
- 6:10would have selected a regenerated area
- 6:13and a non-regenerated area so we
- 6:15wouldn't have been able to compare
- 6:17them we could also have used a
- 6:20systematic sampling strategy that is
- 6:22when you collect data at regular
- 6:24intervals for example across a transa
- 6:26going from non-regenerated to
- 6:27regenerated to non-regenerated areas we
- 6:29could have collected data at regular
- 6:31intervals maybe every 500 meters across
- 6:33that area that would have been good
- 6:35because we would have got lots of of
- 6:37data so that would have made our our
- 6:39results more accurate than just
- 6:41selecting a couple of sites but it would
- 6:43have taken more time than we
- 6:46had so we went for the third option
- 6:48which was a stratified sampling strategy
- 6:51we collected data deliberately from
- 6:52different areas for a reason so we chose
- 6:55a non-regenerated area that's site one
- 6:57to compare to a regenerated area that
- 7:00was site two now the good thing about
- 7:02this we could actually see the contrast
- 7:04and it was doable in the time the bad
- 7:06thing about this we deliberately chose
- 7:08areas that looked different and they may
- 7:10not have been representative of the
- 7:11whole area so at site one we
- 7:13deliberately stood outside of grty
- 7:14building and then we we um inferred from
- 7:17that that the whole area was grotty um
- 7:19site two we deliberately um stood
- 7:21outside a nicely done up area and so
- 7:23from that we inferred that the whole
- 7:25area was nice like that so it would have
- 7:27given us slightly skewed results so you
- 7:29can talk about this in the
- 7:31exam now you need to be able to describe
- 7:33the methods you use and to justify them
- 7:35to say why you use those techniques and
- 7:37to be able to evaluate those methods to
- 7:39say if they were good or not and how
- 7:40they might have affected your results so
- 7:42we'll look at each of the three methods
- 7:43in turn firstly our Environmental
- 7:45Quality survey so we rated what the area
- 7:48looked like using 11 criteria um we
- 7:51compared a non-regenerated area just
- 7:54east of new Islington outside of the
- 7:55anot works and the top photograph and
- 7:58compared that to a regenerated Area News
- 8:00lingon Road that's the bottom photograph
- 8:02and we used a score of minus two a
- 8:04negative judgment to plus two positive
- 8:06judgment for each criteria and we put
- 8:09that on the bipolar
- 8:11chart why did we do this and what's our
- 8:13justification for doing this we wanted
- 8:15to see if the environment of the
- 8:17regenerated area looked better than a
- 8:19non-regenerated area so that we could
- 8:21answer our first hypothesis that was um
- 8:24that regeneration improves the
- 8:26environment now we need to also evaluate
- 8:30um this method why was it good well
- 8:33first of all it was quick and easy to
- 8:34gather data by the Environmental Quality
- 8:36survey the data gave us a numerical
- 8:38value That Was Then easy to analyze and
- 8:40compare with the other area um it was
- 8:43also get we used the number of
- 8:44environmental categories not just one
- 8:46not just for example graffiti and so we
- 8:48could get an overall value that was
- 8:50accurate and not affected by anomalies
- 8:53in just one
- 8:54category but it wasn't so good because
- 8:57it was a subjective measure it kind of
- 8:59relied on what we felt about the area so
- 9:02we did our survey on a sunny day this
- 9:04made have this may have made us score
- 9:07more highly than if it had been raining
- 9:09and given false positive results uh also
- 9:12we only studied two sites so our results
- 9:14may not have represented the whole
- 9:17area our second method was to take
- 9:20photographs outside the anot works and
- 9:22new as lingon Road why did we do this it
- 9:24was to show the main features of each
- 9:26area so we could then answer our first
- 9:28hypothesis that generation improves the
- 9:30environment and what was good about this
- 9:33it was quick and easy to gather we could
- 9:34easily compare two sites what wasn't so
- 9:37good about it is photographs are biased
- 9:39they select the worst of an area or the
- 9:41best features of an area so the results
- 9:43may not have reflected the whole
- 9:46area the third set of data we collected
- 9:48was our secondary data Historical house
- 9:51prices from zuper of the newest Lon
- 9:53stroke uh an coats Ward compared to
- 9:56neighboring Wards why did we collect
- 9:58this data because we wanted to see if
- 10:00house prices have increased more in the
- 10:02new Islington area than in surrounding
- 10:04Wards this would suggest that the area
- 10:06has got wealthier and that would answer
- 10:08our second hypothesis has the economy of
- 10:10New isington been improved what was good
- 10:13about this well it enabled us to compare
- 10:15changes in time and get an indication of
- 10:18whether the area was getting more
- 10:20popular and what was not so good about
- 10:23this area that the wards actually
- 10:24covered some non-regenerated areas in
- 10:26anot as well as new wilington so the
- 10:29result results were not specific to new
- 10:31Islington so now we need to remind
- 10:33ourselves of how we presented our data
- 10:35and be able to explain why this was
- 10:36appropriate and helped us analyze it you
- 10:39will likely get some general questions
- 10:40too about how to present data I'll go
- 10:43through some of the most common ways to
- 10:44present data so first of all why do we
- 10:47present data rather than leave it as raw
- 10:49numbers we present data to make it
- 10:51visually easy to understand and to spot
- 10:55patterns when overlaid on a map we can
- 10:57see spatial differences too for example
- 11:00corth maps and land use maps use color
- 11:03shading to show differences from one
- 11:05area to the next and flow Maps plot size
- 11:08of data moving in a direction between
- 11:11places we presented our house price data
- 11:13as a chloropleth map annotated maps or
- 11:16field sketches are also a great way to
- 11:19point out features we're studying and to
- 11:21compare one place with another on the
- 11:23ground now When selecting the best way
- 11:26to present data it's important to think
- 11:28whether data is continous s or discreet
- 11:30so continuous
- 11:32data um shows changes along a line of
- 11:34study or over a period of time for
- 11:36example how a River's gradient changes
- 11:39as you move from source to mouth an
- 11:42appropriate way to present continuous
- 11:44data is as a line graph or scatter
- 11:47graphs that plots the correlation
- 11:48between two variables that are linked to
- 11:51the hypothesis remember with a positive
- 11:53correlation both variables increase and
- 11:56the graph slopes up from left to right
- 11:58with a negative correlation or
- 12:00relationship one variable increases
- 12:02while the other decreases and the graph
- 12:04slopes down from left to
- 12:06right discrete data classifies data into
- 12:11categories for example uh the age of
- 12:14tourists visiting Montana Bay in Jamaica
- 12:17bar charts and pie charts are a good way
- 12:19to present present discrete data and the
- 12:22data can be converted into percentages
- 12:25so different size data from different
- 12:26sites can be compared bar charts can be
- 12:29side by side or stacked note that pie
- 12:32charts work best if there aren't too
- 12:34many categories so they can be easily
- 12:36read if there are lots of categories the
- 12:39pie chart becomes cluttered and so bar
- 12:40charts are the best
- 12:43option we presented our data for
- 12:45hypothesis one about whether
- 12:46regeneration improves the environment
- 12:48using a bipolar graph to show
- 12:50Environmental Quality at site one and
- 12:51site two so this was a series of bar
- 12:54graphs for each environmental category
- 12:56that we graded such as litter and Noise
- 12:58by putting bars for site one and site
- 13:00site two next to each other we could
- 13:02clearly see if there was a large or
- 13:04small difference between the sites and
- 13:06this showed patterns that we could then
- 13:08analyze so if we think of what these
- 13:11results showed our analysis showed that
- 13:13overall news lingon had an Environmental
- 13:15Quality score of plus seven and anot
- 13:18works of minus 10 for most categories
- 13:21new isington scored higher than anot and
- 13:23therefore we can accept our hypothesis
- 13:26there were some exceptions however anot
- 13:28works called better for traffic noise in
- 13:30new isington as it was a side street and
- 13:33both areas scored badly for litter and
- 13:35both areas scored fairly well for public
- 13:37transport as they were near the
- 13:39tram we presented our photo data by
- 13:41annotating the photographs of each site
- 13:43to point out features that could be used
- 13:44to prove or reject a hypothesis so site
- 13:47one outside the anot works we looked at
- 13:49the plants that were coming out of the
- 13:50roof we looked at the brick work and
- 13:52windows of the buildings that were in
- 13:54poor condition we looked at the derel
- 13:56pub the graffiti on the walls and the
- 13:58pavement in the a bad state of repair
- 14:01and when we looked at site two new
- 14:03Islington regenerated area we noticed
- 14:06that the there was well-maintained
- 14:07buildings in a good state of repair
- 14:09there were clean walls and Pavements
- 14:10there was interesting designed buildings
- 14:12using a variety of materials and form to
- 14:14give character an interest there were
- 14:16private Gardens and off street parking
- 14:17and this enabled us to analyze the data
- 14:20and to come to the conclusion that the
- 14:23regenerated area has a more pleasant
- 14:25well-kept buildings and streets and
- 14:27therefore we can accept our hypothesis
- 14:28that regeneration has improved the
- 14:30environment we presented our data for
- 14:32our second hypothesis about regeneration
- 14:34improving the economy at the house price
- 14:36data as two choth maps one of house
- 14:40prices in 1990 before regeneration and
- 14:43the other in 2015 after regeneration so
- 14:46chath maps are ombre shaded Maps the
- 14:48greater the value in this case house
- 14:50prices the darker the color by shading
- 14:53the second map on tracing paper and
- 14:55layering it on top of the first we could
- 14:57clearly see changes in time and place
- 15:00again these Maps enabled us to analyze
- 15:02these patterns so the analysis showed
- 15:04that all areas have increased in house
- 15:06prices house prices have increased more
- 15:08though in anot that's the new isington
- 15:10Ward this indicates that regenerated
- 15:13areas are more desirable as prices have
- 15:16risen most here and it's attracting
- 15:19wealthier residents therefore there is
- 15:21more money in the area and we can accept
- 15:23our second hypothesis that regeneration
- 15:25has improved the economy you might be
- 15:28asked to evaluate one of your data
- 15:30presentation techniques in which case
- 15:31you could evaluate the use of chath maps
- 15:33first of all You' describe how you made
- 15:35your chath map and then you talk about
- 15:36the pros it's visual easy to spot
- 15:38differences between two areas you can
- 15:40compare two periods of time by
- 15:42overlaying the maps the cons on the
- 15:44other hand the enotes ward on the map
- 15:46covered an area bigger than the
- 15:47regenerated new Islington area alone so
- 15:50it didn't show variations within the
- 15:52wards and it wasn't easy to distinguish
- 15:53between the regenerated and
- 15:54non-regenerated areas so finally as well
- 15:57as evaluating your method the way to
- 15:59present data you also need to be able to
- 16:01evaluate your field work as a whole in
- 16:03particular you need to evaluate how
- 16:04reliable your results were and why and
- 16:06suggest how the field workor might have
- 16:08been improved so what did we do to make
- 16:10sure our results were reliable firstly
- 16:13we use stratified sampling so we
- 16:14included a regenerated and a
- 16:16non-regenerated area secondly we made
- 16:18judgments for the Environmental Quality
- 16:20survey in groups to represent of a range
- 16:22of
- 16:23opinions so why might our results and
- 16:25conclusions not have been completely
- 16:27accurate well firstly we only compared
- 16:30two areas so these might not have
- 16:31represented the whole area some
- 16:34categories of the Environmental Quality
- 16:35survey were subjective so one area that
- 16:38um might be noisy to one person might be
- 16:40fairly quiet to another sunny weather
- 16:42made us feel more positive about the
- 16:44area uh one problem with the ward data
- 16:47it covered an area bigger than just new
- 16:49Islington and house prices only suggest
- 16:51how desirable the area has become rather
- 16:54than if there are more jobs or income in
- 16:56the
- 16:57area what could we have done differently
- 16:59to make our results more reliable well
- 17:02we could have sampled more areas we
- 17:03could have used the noise app to measure
- 17:05noise rather than just relying on our
- 17:07opinion we could have looked at more
- 17:09accurate measures for the economy such
- 17:11as employment rates from census data or
- 17:13household income now make sure that you
- 17:16can answer these exam questions based on
- 17:18this field work
