hey found it okay. had enough time but rushed section a i think.
which b question did you do?
which b question did you do?
well done =) i did the one on globalisation points and internal and international migration flows...what about you?
Ahhh I'm scared about this exam!
Would anyone be able to briefly summarize what we need to know about Southampton Water / Dibden Bay, because I don't really understand it. :/
And do you know what question we might be asked about Southampton / Dibden?
Thankyouu.

Same =( too much revise (learn xD) for tomorrow!
I don't understand what southampton waters about either but Dibden Bay is about conflicts and stakeholders. The Association of british ports wanted to build a port extension on Dibden bay because its one of the only parts of free reclaimed land around southampton. In 2004, the proposal was rejected after there was more opposition.
Economic stakeholders were for the development:
-More money into local economy
- More jobs in construction and after its built
- Efficient container stacking techniques (not entirely sure why people would spend time developing STACKING TECHNIQUES =s) and fast cranes
- National need for more container handling capacity
- Southampton is well placed for container traffic
- Good knock on effects for other port activities
Environmental stakeholders were AGAINST development:
- Destruction of habitats
- Close to national park
- Visual impact
- Risk of oil spills
-Dredging to make space for larger ships
Local Stakeholders were AGAINST because:
- Traffic congestion
- Overcrowding
- Urbanisation of a rural area
- The development would be better on teh east coast as its closer to mainland Europe
- Pollution
hope this helps =) i was trying to revise it while typing without looking at my sheet as well so it definitely helped me xD lol
aha sorry, just read that you said 'brief summary' oops xD basically proposed port expansion on Dibden Bay which created conflict between environmental, economic and local stakeholders xD
Yay thankyou that was really helpful. 
I didn't even know that the plan was rejected at all, so thanks so much. Otherwise I would have made so many mistakes!
That's cool, more information is better than less xD
So basically, the ABP and economists were all for it, but local people/stakeholders and environmentalists were against it because of the negative impacts that it would have had on the environment.
Cool. Good luck with the exam tomorrow; you sound like you know your stuff.

Nahh i literally only know Dibden Bay xD if you'd asked about any of the others i wouldn't have known anything!
Thanks and good luck with yours!
Has anyone got a list of Fieldwork strategies for me to use? I'm resitting and i lost my resources.
Ok here's some revision notes from my head, use them if you like!
Physical:
The Associated British Ports (ABP) is for the development of Dibden bay as it offers:
-More money for the economy
-National need for more containerisation capacity
-Southhampton is well situated for container traffic
-Efficient container stacking techniques
The environmental stakeholders include RSPB and English nature. They claim the development of Dibden bay is a threat to the environment due to:
-Destruction of ecosystems and habitats
-It's proximity to the national park
-Dredging to make ports capable of holding container ships
The local stakeholders include The New Forest district council. They claim the development will bring:
-urbanisation of rural areas
-Up to 50% increase in traffic/congestion
VENICE:
Where: Venice; Italy
Issues: (i) The pumping of methane gas from underneagth the city causes an isostatic change in land movement (ii) When the city was founded 1500 years ago, the Adriatic sea level was 2 metres lower.
Strategies: (i) Impermiable stone foundations (ii) The Moses flood barrier which costs 4.3bn Euro and consists of 79 steel gates to prevent the Adriatic high tide - hard engineering/mitigation strategy (iii) Although local conservationalists claim the development of the flood barrier threatens wild birds in the neighbouring lagoons
COTONOU - not CONTONOU!
Where: Benin; population 1 million
Issues: (i) The shoreline has retreated more than 400 metres within 24 years and 112 hectares of land have been lost to the sea - loss of agriculture (ii) Salinisation of Drinking water - increasing poverty levels and poor healthcare/diseases (iii) Ecosystems threatened
Strategiesi) Water desalinisation - allows the drinking of sea water (ii) Impregnated mostiquito nets (iii) Long term plans could include the disspersion of Cotonou by removing key features such as airports - relocating
Human:
Northern Fells Group (NFG)
-Located in the Lake district
-Aims to target the causes of social inequality
-A small 'bottom up' scheme
How will they target the existing inequality?
-Aim to target the causes of social exclusion
-Aim to map existing support services and identify groups
-Aim to idenity the unmet health and social needs for local residents
Strategies:
-Benefits awarness scheme: assists the elderly and those with disabilities
-Youth Initiative: networking with local/regional/national youth schemes
Technology in the Highlands and Islands
Where: Scottish Highlands; periphary
Why does inequality exist? (i) physical remoteness ; terrainare the main causes of inequality (ii) high cost of upgrading and replacing existing technology (iii) continues reliance on state subsidies
What has been done: (i) virtual Open University courses (ii) ICT-led education at the UHI Millenium institute (iii) rapid growth in community run websites (iv) social - increase in 3000 ICT related jobs
I've done a Leicester case study for unequal spaces and Holderness for crowded coasts - won't include those notes there's too many!
How to assess schemes in reducing urban inequality:
-Mapping the distribution of CCTV
-Mapping the distribution of neighbourhood watch stickers and evidence of policing
-Street cleanliness survey
-Investigating improvements in accessibility
-Interviewing key players (i) town managers (ii) local charity workers
Other useful notes to include in the exam:
-What is a shoreline management plan:
A SMP is planning to protect a stretch of coastline through the use of hard and soft engineering and sustainable solutions where possible:
Hard engineering:
Sea wall
Groynes
Gabions
Revetment
Rip-rap
Offshore breakwaters
Embankments
Soft Engineering:
Beach nourishment
Beach reprofiling
Dune replenishment
Development of natural defences
Offshore reefs
Coastal zoning
Advantages of hard engineering:
1) effective on a local scale through both absorbing and reducing wave energy and retaining local structures
2) Protection and reassurance for local residents
3) Increase in land available for human use
4) Maintaining beaches increases tourism, resulting in more money for the economy
Disadvantages:
1) Counter-productive - eg) Groynes stop stip formation and beaches further along the coast due to LSD
2) Requires continual, expensive maintainance - eg) sea walls cost betweeb £3000-£5000 per metre to upgrade
3) Cannot respond to predicted sea level change due to climate change
4) Ecosystems such as mangroves are preveted from responding to sea level change
Differential erosion: Different rates of erosion on glacial till/boulder clay due to wave refraction and subaerial processes; moves joints+geos due to hydraulic action
Wave refraction: The bending of waves; wave energy is dissipated on the side of a headland - 'high enerrgy coastline'
Fieldwork + Research (Two 15 mark questions) - You can plan what you might get expected to answer. Physical aspects include:
Q) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake to investigate the changes in coastal land use ove time:
Primary: Land use maps, questionnaires (random, stratisfied, systematic), oral histories, interviews with focus groups such as town manager, footfalls to calculate how many people visited a shop over x amount of time
Seconday: Historic land use maps (pre 19th century), GIS (the merging of cartography and databse technology) - google earth (layers + ruler tool), local newspaper archives
Q) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake to investigate how crowded coasts have developed over time:
Primary: Land use maps, age of building survey, Pedestrian counts, Traffic flow patterns, radiating transect - from the shore inland at systematic intervals to reveal changing patterns, interviews
Secondary: Historical land use maps (pre 19th century), google earth (layers + ruler tool, essentially GIS), photographs and postcards, local newspaper archives
Q) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake to investigate environmental and ecologial impacts of coastal development:
Include case study of Mangroves, Salt marshes
Primary: measure water/air quality, environmental impact assessment (EIA), graffiti survey, transect of sand dunes, quadrats of vegetation cover + soil pH, ecological surveys, pollution survey, conflict matrix, traffic flow patterns, biodiversity surveys, cards with Vaseline to collect dust over a week!
Secondary: Land use maps, photographs and postcards, past surveys from RSPB, GIS mapping - google earth
Q) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake to investigate coastal management schemes and options :
Include case study on Holderness
Primary: cost benefit analysis (CBA), environmental impact assessment (EIA) - bi-polar indices, beach pollution surveys, environmental quality survey (EQS), trampling surveys, ecological surveys, transect - sample the changing biodiversity of an area (zonation)
Secondary: past visitor surveys, google earth - GIS, planning applications, local newspaper archives - defra.co.uk - ordnancesurvey.co.uk - hull.ac.uk
Q) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake to investigate coastal retreat :
Include Holderness case study + Cotonou (contrasting)
Primary: questionnaires (random, stratisfied, structured), evidence of coastal retreat (i) examine the remains of buildings/infrastructure (ii) evidence of cliff face features - rotational slumping (cliff foot features: undercutting, storm beach) (iii) indentifying LSD - wave height + frequency, local museums
Secondary: Google earth (GIS coastal retreat), DEFRA.gov.uk, universities, local newspaper archives
How to structure the essay:
paragraph 1 - discuss question given
paragraph 2 - describe and justify the methods and techniques used to collect the data - "Fieldwork could be a mixture of quantative and qualitative approaches..."
paragraph 3 - describe and justify the techniques chosen to present and analyse findings - "Presentation will be influenced by the data type..."
paragraph 4 - describe and justify the techniques chosen to present the data - "Presentation and analysis could include transects plooted using kite diagrams. Simple statistics using mean/mode/median and Spearman's rank to find the RS valude, Chi-Squared, bi -polar indices.."

Ok i have some questions for anyone who did rebranding xD
What are the strategies proposed to rebrand bournemouth?
Who are the main players involved in Bournemouth's rebranding?
How sustainable is this strategy?
And also can anyone explain how to fill in a sustainability quadrant please?
Thank youuu =) im so panicked!

I'm afraid I only use Bournemouth for a case study of coastal growth, so I'm not sure about its rebranding strategies. :/ Sorry.
And also, what fieldwork and research techniques could you use to identify the rates of erosion? (For example on Holderness Coast).
