GEOGRAPHY

Supplementary Item A
, Ordnance Survey Map, Extract No 2007/EXP214 1:25000
(Explorer Series), Llanidloes, Mid Wales, is the basis for answers to questions in this
Section.
For whichever question you choose in this Section (ie 1. or 2.) you are expected
to make
extensive and detailed use
of your atlas and, in particular, the map
extract.
You are strongly advised to read the whole of both question 1 and question 2
before you make your choice.
1.
Various themes to encourage tourism, to use fresh, local produce and to become a
low carbon community are being encouraged in the area of the map extract as part
of the Cambrian Mountains Initiative (CMI).
A site 200 × 300 metres is being sought to develop a hotel with adjacent timeshare
holiday homes on a gentle slope.
The project will aim to
• encourage
sustainable
tourism
in
the
area
• make
use
of
local
produce
in
the
hotel’s
dining
room
• make
use
of
environmental
and
energy
saving
methods
to
reduce
the
carbon
footprint of the buildings.
(
a
)
Identify
one
suitable location for the development and draw it to scale on the
tracing overlay (
Supplementary Item B
).
(
b
)
Discuss
in depth
and with
detailed map evidence from the whole OS map
extract
the reasons for your choice of location.
(
c
)
Describe, with appropriate map evidence from the whole map extract, a range
of possible visits and activities visitors to the hotel and holiday homes could
undertake.

The Cambrian Mountains Initiative
is a wide-ranging project that aims
to help promote rural enterprise, protect the environment and add value to
products and services in Mid Wales—seeking to build a prosperous economic
future for the communities of the region based around their inter-relationship
with the special Cambrian Mountains landscape
.

2.
Supplementary Item A
, the Llanidloes and Newtown map extract
must be used in
detail when answering this question
.
Supplementary Item A
(Llanidloes and Newtown map extract) shows a variety of
areas of woodlands.
(
a
)
Describe
the distribution of different types and sizes of woodland on the
whole map extract.
(
b
)
Explain the forest pattern of woodland distribution identified in (
a
).
(
c
) A
national
conservation
agency
wishes
to
establish
a
new
area
of
oak
wood
of
size that is defined by an area of approximately 500
m by 500
m. The
woodland will provide habitats for small birds and mammals. Select a suitable
location for this wood, draw it to scale on
Supplementary Item B
, and annotate
in detail
the site to show why it has been chosen.

3.
Study the information given in
Supplementary Item C
.
A
Spearman
Rank
Correlation
has
been
applied
to
the
data
in
Supplementary Item C
.
(
a
)
State the null hypothesis.
(
b
)
Complete the table on
Supplementary Item C
and
calculate
the
Spearman
Rank
Correlation Coefficient (r) for the data sets for:
(i) electricity
consumed
per
person
in
kilowatt-hours
(kWh);
(ii)
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in US dollars.
(
c
)
State the results in terms of the null hypothesis.
(
d
)
Discuss the value of using this technique for measuring the correlation
between the two variables in the data set.
(
e
)
With reference to the “r” result and
Supplementary Item C
, discuss possible
reasons for the results.
