O-LevelGeographyPopulation and settlementMay/June 2012Paper 2 Q830 Marks
Students were studying patterns of urban structure in MEDCs. They decided to do some fieldwork about different types of housing area in order to investigate a textbook model of land use. This model is shown in [Figure 13] (Insert). The students selected three different types of housing areas based on the land use model. These housing areas are labelled A, B and C in [Figure 14] (Insert). The students investigated the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: The environment of housing areas improves as distance from the town centre increases. Hypothesis 2: The nearer people live to the CBD the better their access to services.
