E.g. Western Isles of Scotland, Isle of Skye

3a. In the United Kingdom, give an example of each of the following:(ii) a rural region affected by counter-urbanisation (1)

E.g. South-east

• (any two)• Physical characteristics of a place• E.g. slope, altitude aspect, drainage

etc

• Location of a place:• In relation to other places• Distance from key features

3b (iii) Suggest reasons for the rapid growth of cities in LICs (3)

3C Study fig 3a in the Resource Booklet. It shows the growth of Las Vegas between 1973 and 2006. Explain how the growth of Las Vegas might have affected the surrounding physical environment (4)

Max 2 from:It has grown a great dealGrown by 10 timesPopulation grown rapidlyTourist numbers increased

Max 3 from:

Water demand will have increased

Desert area used up with sprawl

Loss of habitat due to sprawl, made worse by number of tourists

Air quality will have reduced with number of tourists

3D Study photograph C in the Resource Booklet. It shows a coastal settlement on the south coast of England.Using evidence from the photograph and your own knowledge, show how this settlement is dependent on tourism and leisure (4)

Photograph:

Marina (1), golf course (1), beaches (1)

Understanding:

General decline of other coastal industries, e.g. fishing

Ports closing with shift to air transport

Growth of tourism generally with increased leisure time and income

Max 4 marks but limit to 3 marks if just giving information from the photograph

3E Study fig 3b. It shows the growth of rural and urban populations in England, between 1984 and 2002.Explain the differences between the growth rates of rural and urban populations (6)

Counter-urbanisation leading to growth in ‘rural’ areas

Retirement to rural/coastal areas

Re-location of industry to smaller towns and cities leading to slower urban growth

Deindustrialisation and loss of jobs from inner cities

Urban regeneration in recent years leading to some revival of inner city populations, e.g. Salford

For full marks you need a good detailed explanation about the population change with examples of both rural and urban areas, e.g Isle of Skye. Use geographical terminology, spelling, punctuation and grammar
