Higher Geography

Original post by hendycfc

Does anybody have points for traffic and shopping malls. I have spent ages trying to find it.

Also I'm ****ed for tomorrow.

I don't know what your case study is but here are some basic points about traffic.

Less Important stuff:

Problems - Congestion, especially in the inner city and CBD
Parking Problems (Especially in CBD)
Pollution, especially near main roads and in the CBD
Reasons - Increase in car ownership and the car culture and shortcomings of public transport, perceived or otherwise

More important stuff:
Solutions-
Urban Motorways (M8 for Glasgow and the construction of a new bridge in 1973 to carry it over the Clyde (Kingstone bridge))
Inner and outer ring roads,
Upgrading of the underground railway system (For glasgow: in 1980's),
One way traffic system especially in CBD,
Park and ride scheme from suburban sitations (for Glasgow: such as Giffnock)
Parking Controls - Multi-story car parks, restricted zones, meters, pay and display.
New Bus and Cycle Lanes

I've done that once. Before Geography prelim I was writing out notes till 4am.
I was shattered and had a nose-bleed during the prelim. I got 63%. Totally not worth it :tongue:

That's why I decided not to write anything tonight and go to sleep hopefully before 2am :biggrin:

Probably not the thing I should be focusing on, but do you have a double bed????? If you do, I'm jealous :frown:

Not for urban, when they are like "why is this a good place for a shopping centre" or "discuss the conflicts" I have no clue. I'm ok when it says like "Show that this is CBD" or something stupid like that.
P.s. I hate urban :frown:

I wish it was like site and situation, but that came up 2 years ago damn :frown:

Try this, my mum gave me tablets the day before my geography prelim (I had cold) and I took 7 that day... turns out they are high in caffeine. I got no sleep before my geography prelim and was shattered all the way through it :frown:

Ohhh, that must have been horrible!

Anyway, 3 more hours and hopefully that's me finished.
I'm reading over River Basin stuff right now...
I still haven't even bothered to look at my Industry notes - So I definitely need to do that.
And I need to try and remember all that Atmosphere bul**t.

I'm quite well prepared for paper 2 actually. I'm hoping to get 80-90 marks so hopefully I won't have to worry about paper 1 so much. :rolleyes:

See in my prelim I had a problem solving indicator table question and I was like WTH AM I MEANT TO DO AHH turns out I was to just describe it but I put most of my answer as explanation so I only got like 6/10 :frown:

D+H = 2 indicators, differences between countries, physical/human factors, malaria, primary health care PLEASE!!!!!!!

Awk it was, I was pure shattered when I finished :L

I finished at like 11 because I was shattered :frown:

God knows how people can study until like 3am. I hit like 9am and I'm like dying :lol:

Industry I looked at for 40 minutes this morning :lol:

Atmosphere = not going in my head, hoping it is optional (I bet you it is optional and I'll come back from my exam and be like I CHOOSE THE ATMOSPHERE QUESTION :colone:

)

Yeah same, I think I could get near-to full marks for both RLR and D+H if the questions are simples :]
