Hiya, Just wondering if anyone could answer this question i got given in a booklet,

What problems could arise as a result of the implementation of the proposed schemes? (think its refering to the Laganside development/ Neighbourhood renewal strategy and the troubles)

Also along the same lines

Identify any difficulties in the implementation of the proposals? And then what would you do about them?

Thanks :smile:

Recently in class, we've been linking the whole resource together and looking at Belfast as a HOLISTIC view, rather than just the seperate items in the booklet.
Thinking about sustainability and the effects on surrounding area, by spread effects and trickle down.
Possible 15 mark field work question?

What sort of things do we need to be including in 'outline fieldwork you could conduct' questions?

Me neither, I hate this exam I took it in summer 2010 and felt it went amazing but got a D. Not looking forward to it.

in terms of fieldwork questions:
- remember to highlight an aim, even a fairly basic aim will pick you up some marks, then link this to an hypothesis for your fieldwork study
- explain how and why you selected the areas you are going to study (random sampling? ease of access? variety of income area?)
- briefly talk about health and safety assesment (not going alone etc)
- would you conduct a pilot study and why?
- how would you present the data? graphs etc
- how would you analyse the data? statistical tests (it would be good to mention specifics to gain some extra marks)
- REMEMBER TO DO A CONCLUSION!!

as long as you apply the basics to the question asked it shouldn't be that difficult to pick up marks here :smile:
