Questionnaire Analysis and Environmental Analysis - Due in on 11th June 2008

Land Use Analysis and all other analysis – Due in on 18th June 2008

1. Present your results in some form of graph / map or chart. You need to analyse each of the graphs using the suggested template below:

2. You now need to analyse your results. To do this you need to make sure you have included the following:

What is the general trend on the graph?

What is the highest result?

Why is this the highest?

Does this answer any of your hypothesis or theory? If so what does it show?

Is there any anomalies?

Why is this anomaly here – Try to explain why the anomalies are here

Any problems with this analysis? – Why may it not be valid if someone else did the project?

Does this link in with any of your other data / results?

 

Environmental Survey Analysis

There are two ways to analyse your data. You can either analyse it based on each location or each environmental factor. Either way you need to do the following:

Which site / factor scored the highest?

Why did this score the highest?

Which location / factor scored second highest?

Why did this score the second highest?

Which location / factor scored the lowest?

Why did this score the lowest?

Where there any odd ones out?

Why were there odd ones out?

Does this answer any of your hypothesis or theory? If so what does it show?

Any problems with this analysis? – Why may it not be valid if someone else did the project?

Does this link in with any of your other data / results?

 

Land Use Survey Analysis

There are two ways to analyse the data. You can either analyse it based on each location or each land use. Either way you need to do the following:

Which site / land use scored the highest?

Why did this score the highest?

Which location / land use scored second highest?

Why did this score the second highest?

Which location / land use scored the lowest?

Why did this score the lowest?

Where there any odd ones out?

Why were there odd ones out?

Does this answer any of your hypothesis or theory? If so what does it show?

Any problems with this analysis? – Why may it not be valid if someone else did the project?

Does this link in with any of your other data / results?

D.     For my questionnaire I will ask the following questions……… We will do this in class. You will type up the questionnaire and then add on text boxes to show why you included that questionnaire. This should include reference to your theory, hypothesis and other methods.

E.      I am expecting to find out that ………………………

F.       I will carry this survey out in the following locations Canry Wharf, West India Quay, Cabot Square and Excel Centre.

G.     Although I will try to ensure my results are reliable they may be some problems with these results. These problems include………………………………………………………

Bid Rent Theory

What is Bid Rent Theory

It can be seen that commerce (in particular large department stores/chain stores) is willing to pay the greatest rent to be located in the CBD. The CBD is very valuable for them because it is traditionally the most accessible location for a large population. This large population is essential for department stores, which require a considerable turnover. As a result, they are willing and able to pay a very high land rent value. They maximise the potential of their site by building many stories.
 
As you move from the CBD, commerce is unwilling to pay as much for a site. In fact, what they are willing to pay declines rapidly.
 
Industry is, however, willing to pay to be on the outskirts of the CBD. There is more land available for their factories, but they still have many of the benefits of the CBD, such as a market place and good communications.
As you move further out, so the land is less attractive to industry and the householder is able to purchase land. The further you go from the CBD, the cheaper the land. This is why inner city areas are very densely populated (terraces, flats and high rises), whilst the suburbs and rural areas are sparsely populated (semi and detached houses with gardens).
