COURSEWORK

During the summer holidays you should have completed your data collection. This involved you

  • Visiting each sample point
  • Conducting your various surveys
    o Noise
    o Pedestrian count
    o Traffic count
    o Environmental index survey
    o Questionnaire
  • You should have taken a photo of each sample point.
  • You should have collected details of house prices. This can be from estate agents, the Evening Gazette (Thursday) or the internet. You should try and find at least 5 houses for sale in each area. Remember they do not have to be at the sample point, as long as they are in your area.

WHAT NEXT

You now need to start to write up the chapters on the sample points. You have two separate chapters – one on the INNER CITY and one on the SUBURBS. Each chapter begins with a short introduction to the area – see the coursework handbook for an example to use. You should also include a map in each chapter with the sample points marked on it.

You then have a section on each sample point. This should include:

  • A photo labelled
  • A short write up (one paragraph) summarising what you think of the area – good and bad points.
  • A copy of the environmental index sheet filled in with the total score.
  • A copy of the noise, traffic and pedestrian surveys filled in.

There is no need at this stage to include any graphs, house prices or conclusions; you are simply DESCRIBING what you found on your visits to the sample points.
