Students wanted to investigate the possible impacts of tourism on a village visited by many people. They wanted to find out if there were both positive and negative effects. To do this they decided to test the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 Tourism has a major impact on the shops and services in the village Hypothesis 2 The impact of tourism decreases away from the main car park

1. (a)(i)To investigate the importance of tourism, the students mapped different types of shops and services, as shown on Fig. 8 (Insert 2), to see if they were mainly used by tourists or local people. How many hotels are shown on Fig. 8 (Insert 2)?[1]
2. (a)(ii)Look at Fig. 8 and complete the tally and total number of restaurants on Table 3. Table 3 | Type of shop or service | Tally | Total | Percentage of total number of shops | |:------------------------|:----------|:------|:------------------------------------| | Art Gallery | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Baker | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Bank | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Book shop | /// | 3 | 7.5 | | Butcher | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Café | //// | 4 | 10.0 | | Chemist | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Flower shop | // | 2 | 5.0 | | Food store | /// | 3 | 7.5 | | Gift shop | ////// | 8 | | | Hairdresser | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Museum shop | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Post Office | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Public House | /// | 3 | 7.5 | | Restaurant | | | 10.0 | | Sweet shop | // | 2 | 5.0 | | Food Take Away | // | 2 | 5.0 | | Tourist Information | / | 1 | 2.5 | | Total | | 40 | 100 | [1]
3. (a)(iii)Calculate and write in the missing percentage for gift shops on Table 3.[1]
4. (b)(i)To test Hypothesis 1, the students classified the shops and services into three groups just by looking at them: • Used mainly by tourists; • Used mainly by local residents; • Used by both tourists and local residents. The results of the decisions the students made about this classification are shown on Table 4 (Insert 2). Why would the students have found it difficult to classify some shops and services?[2]
5. (b)(ii)How could the students be more certain that the customers of each shop were tourists or local residents?[2]
6. (b)(iii)Use the results in Table 4 (Insert 2) to complete the pie graph shown in Fig. 9. [Figure 9][2]
7. (b)(iv)The students accepted Hypothesis 1 that tourism has a major impact on the shops and services in the village. Do you agree with them? Support your answer with evidence from Table 3 and Fig. 9.[2]
8. (c)(i)Next the students tested Hypothesis 2 The impact of tourism decreases away from the main car park. They devised a scoring system to measure the impacts of tourism at four survey sites in the village. These survey sites are labelled A to D on Fig. 8 (Insert 2). Fig. 10 (Insert 2) shows the final scoring sheet after the students completed a pilot study. What is a pilot study and why is it important in an investigation?[2]
9. (c)(ii)What decisions would the students have to make in organising and carrying out the main survey?[3]
10. (d)(i)The results of the main survey of the impacts of tourism are shown on Table 5 (Insert 2). Complete Fig. 11, below, by plotting the results for tourist buildings for sites B and D from information given in Table 5. [Figure 11][2]
11. (d)(ii)Identify one similarity and one difference between the results for sites A and C.[2]
12. (d)(iii)To what extent do these results support Hypothesis 2 that the impact of tourism decreases away from the main car park?[2]
13. (d)(iv)Suggest reasons for the results of the survey of the impacts of tourism. Refer back to Fig. 8.[4]
14. (e)Suggest one other issue the students could have investigated in the village. Briefly describe how they could have done their investigation.[4]
