Yeah I've only learnt one of the topics.

:rolleyes:

Probably not a great idea... but I can't be bothered to learn more case studies.

I've learnt mine for the question on Government influence on population change and movement, with some census stuff too.

My notes attached. They should theoretically open with word...

The case studies I've used are:

* Code de la Famille (French PRONATAL Policy, 1939)
* India's Compulsory Sterilisation Policy (1976)
* China's One Child Policy (1980, Deng Xiaoping)
* Singapore 'Stop at two' Policy
* Britain's New Towns (launched 1946)
* Afro-Carribean Migration to the UK (Post WWII)
* Brazil's Population PIN (To tackle regional inequalities)

Hope this helps! Sorry very late. :o:

I actually thought the paper was pretty easy so I'll be very disappointed if I don't score well on it.

None of the Iceland questions were difficult; it was more or less a comprehension and was far easier than any of the past papers I've looked at.

I did the question on 'Government polices affecting distribution', OWTTE, and I talked about Brazil's population PIN, New Towns in UK, Afro-Caribbean Migration to Birmingham and London and London Docklands Regeneration and Gentrification. Also mentioned a bit of Myrdal.

Not sure if I did as well on the essay as I had revised more about governments affecting the birth rate etc.

But ah well!

NO MORE GEOGRAPHY! :woo:

A nice paper indeed...

The Section A question on Iceland wasn't too tasking...As has been said above, it was simply a comprehension - something you do in Year 10.

For Section B, I did the 5th question on government influence over population distribution. I used case studies such as Indonesian Transmigration, the Oxford Green Belt, the movement of the Brazilian capital from Rio to Brasilia in 1952, the new towns of Cumbernauld and Milton Keynes and the Turks to Germany case study.
