Question 3 (If you answer this question, do not answer Question 4) 0 3 A student was planning fieldwork to investigate whether a housing development had altered the place character of a village. Figure 3 outlines the background to the investigation, the aim, relevant theory and hypothesis for primary data collection. Figure 3 Background The student was aware that several residents of the village where he lived felt that a housing development built in 2010 on the edge of the village had impacted on its place character in several ways. Social media posts on a local community forum suggested that residents felt this housing development had its own more ‘urban’ place character which was quite different to the rest of the village, and this may have changed the character of the village as a whole. Aim The student decided to investigate if the housing development had a different place character to the older part of the village and whether this had impacted on the character of the whole village. Theory The character of a place refers to the physical and human features of a place that help to distinguish it from another place. Many factors can affect the character of a place such as physical geography, location, the built environment, infrastructure and also the demographic, economic and cultural characteristics of the area. Place character may also be influenced by links to other places. The student’s hypothesis for this investigation was: ‘The place character of the 2010 housing development is significantly different to the rest of the village.’ Figure 4 is the student’s sketch map of the fieldwork site.

He wanted to compare the data to see whether there were any significant differences in the mobility of the population and the safety of the two areas, which both have a similar number of houses. Figure 5 shows the secondary data the student used in the investigation.

Crimes reported – accessed from a police website which records all crimes reported in a local area. 0 3 . 1 The student decided to compare the number of houses sold by calculating the median, a measure of central tendency. Explain why he chose to calculate the median number of houses sold and not the mean.

Figure 6 shows his plan for primary data collection. Figure 6 Plan for Primary Data Collection Method to collect data on place character A survey tool was designed by the student. It included five key characteristics of place character with four words to describe possible aspects of each of these. At each site surveyed a decision would be made about which of the four words for each place characteristic is a ‘best fit’ based on the student’s observations. Sampling strategy The data collection sites will be situated 200 m apart along a line transect that follows the main access road through each of the areas of the village. Six sites would be surveyed for ‘place character’ in each area on one day in September. Risk assessment The data collection will be done in daylight and a first-aid kit carried at all times in the event of slips and trips. A mobile phone will be carried in case of an emergency. Figure 7 shows his sketch map of planned sampling points.

He would complete this survey at each site.
