Comparing Shopping and facilities in two or more settlements• Clear aim and hypothesis• Three settlements needed for higher marks• Range of data• Range of data techniques (appropriate
graphs)• Good level of understanding• Detailed analysis• Valid conclusions
Title Page and Contents
• Title page• Project title• Candidates name• Candidates school
• Contents page• List of pages/project structure• MAY BE COMPLETED LAST!
Sections
• Introduction to study (aims and hypothesis)• Action plan• Study area / Background• Methodology• Results• Analysis of results (can be tied together)• Conclusion• Evaluation• Bibliography
Hypothesis• List them clearly• Do not include any hypothesis you are not going
to test later in your study.
Example1) The number of high order shops increases with
the size of a settlement.* Reason: I think the larger a settlement more people
will visit it. This means that larger shops offering high order goods are more likely to be developed than in smaller settlements.
* How I will test this: Landuse survey map.
Study site
• For each settlement:
• Background information
• Population information
• Map showing study location clearly
Background Information
• Settlement Hierarchy
• Land Use Models
• Glossary– Threshold Population– Sphere of Influence– Range– High/low order shops
Method
• Clear list of methods used
• Can be completed as a table or list
Method Technique Equipment/ resources
Used to test hypothesis number
Other information
How this was made a fair test.
Questionnaire Asked 20(?) people a list of closed questions with multiple choice answers.
Questionnaire x20
Pencil
Clipboard
1,3 Closed questions were used to enable easy comparisons
Pedestrian Count Counted pedestrians passing a given point (marked as a,b,c on map) during a 3 minute period.
Paper
Stop watch
Pencil
Tally chart
2,3 Same time used at all sites to make this a fair test.
Analysis of Results – Minimum three hypotheses• Split into hypothesis (some may overlap –
don't use twice just refer back!)• Make sure graphs are comparable (same
size and same page etc)• Annotate graphs and images to show key
results• Every graph should have a title and
labelled axis.• Use a range of graphical techniques…
these must be appropriate!
Analysis of Results• Break into hypothesis and ‘test’ them.
• Results do not have to prove hypothesis is true. If you find your hypothesis is incorrect then this is still a good finding!
Remember..
list all used in ‘Bibliography’
A good analysis..
• Looks at results from both perspectives.. – Is the hypothesis true? – Is the hypothesis false? – A lot of data will show both and you
have to make a valued judgment at the end of the analysis
Conclusions
• A summary of your findings.
• Approximate length two sides.
• Break into hypothesis – include key findings and evidence e.g. specific figures.
• Give overall summary of your findings
Evaluation
• What went well?• What went badly? Why?• How could your project have been
improved?
• SWOT Analysis• Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, Threats.
Bibliography
• List any books, websites or either sources used.
• Place in alphabetical order
• For websites include an accessed date:– E.g.
www.upmystreet.com [accessed 10/9/07]
