Investigating Dynamic Urban Areas
1. This question has 5 part(s).
1.1. A group of 20 students carried out fieldwork investigating environmental quality in two contrasting urban areas.
They conducted an environmental quality survey in 10 streets in each area.
They assessed the levels of graffiti, traffic noise, litter and pavement quality on a scale of +2 to −2 for each factor, with +2 indicating a very positive view and −2 indicating a very negative view.
Their results are shown below.
Westgate – an inner-city suburb dominated by terraced housing built in the 19th century | Lower Walton – a suburb on the urban fringe dominated by detached housing built in the 1980s | |||
Factor | Mean score for the 10 streets | Range of scores across the 10 streets | Mean score for the 10 streets | Range of scores across the 10 streets |
Graffiti | −1.3 | −1 to −2 | +1.5 | +2 to −1 |
Traffic noise | +1.4 | +2 to −1 | −0.5 | +1 to −2 |
Litter | −1.8 | +1 to −2 | +1.2 | +2 to −1 |
Pavement quality | −1.1 | +2 to −2 | −1.0 | +2 to −2 |
Total score (range +8 to −8) | −2.8 | ? |

1.2. Explain one method that the students might have used to select the streets that they surveyed.
1.3. Suggest one way in which secondary data might have been used in this investigation.
1.4. Suggest two reasons why the students concluded that Westgate and Lower Walton had more differences than similarities.
1.5. You have conducted your own fieldwork into the reasons why the quality of life varies within an urban area.
Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the methods that you used to collect your primary data.
