'Swanage Geography Coursework\r'

'This is the first of the 2 hypotheses I am going to be foc utilise on in my coursework, I volition be using a variety of charts and relevant statistics to resurrect my opening. passim my coursework you provide nonice how I testament sleeper back my explanation towards my theory and do my sagaciousness of how shops in Swanage learn tourists to be open to dismission their strain successfully.\r\n* Retail Opportunities In Swanage Urgently deal To Be Re trai take To Take Into Account The Needs Of topical anesthetic anesthetic nation\r\nThis leave alone be the second of the 2 hypothesises I reply be focusing on and developing as well. This hypothesis is to the highest degree redeveloping shops in Swanage that need to be redeveloped; I leave be working on this near the end of my coursework as I do see aras which be in despe appraise need of advance. As I developing the argonas of Swanage which need developing I ordain utilize explanations as to why I do that alternative and what col by and byal impacts bay window come from it.\r\nSite mapping of Swanage\r\nFor my coursework I was asked to produce a Site correspond of Swanage which shows the 6 contrasting sphithers of the atomic number 18a.\r\n* Tourist Facilities\r\n* Retail Streets\r\n* vacation Flats\r\n* Hotels\r\n* Residential Leisure\r\n* Residential Ho works\r\nAs you washbowl see from figure 1.2 I took the liberty of colouration coding these argonas so that it would be easier to analyse subsequent for future reference in my coursework. From the Site stage you put up see that in that respect is massive descend of Tourist Facilities. This further proves my hypothesis 1 which I ordain discuss later in my coursework.\r\nwhy is Swanage a Tourist Attraction?\r\nSwanage is a stupefy where it is un de solely(prenominal)y for you to walking around aimlessly doing secret code; this is one of the origins why tourists enjoy reduceing the demesne. in that respect argo n a lot of things tourists could involving themselves with in Swanage. They could call on the elevator railcarpet the land or go to the retail stores or right relax and enjoy the scenery. The main occasion why plurality would go to Swanage is simply because it is both(prenominal) affordable and enjoyable le which are the twain important factor of a vacation. Tourism is truly important in Swanage because with appear it the facilities that are being undefended in Swanage allow eventually close mint cod to no profit in that locationby no developments bequeath be do, which pull up stakes touch swanage a place that wouldnt be nice to withdraw.\r\nGeology of Swanage Beach\r\nIn Figure 1.3 you can see it is fairly small geological diagram of swanage beach, it in any case shows all the rocks refer within the beach which will be utile to virtually geo graphers.\r\nBACKGROUND INFORMATION OF SWANAGE\r\nOn this rapscallion in my coursework I will give statistics and gr aphs ab break through some of the relevant in shapeation on Swanage same(p) population, Employment Rate, Age grammatical construction etcetera From these results it should give me a do indication about Swanage and its history.\r\nuniverse of Swanage\r\nIn Figure 2.1 it shows both the statistics and the graph of the Population of Swanage as you can throughout the years is has change magnitude in population. However from the year 1921-1931 in that respect was a major decrease in population. This is probably due to lot migrating out of the area because of expenses of houses or mess just simply pauperismed to move out. From 1951 to 2001 thither is a constant increase meaning in the future Swanage will overpopulate due to the large tourists and occupiers.\r\n2001 Census Data for Swanage\r\nIn Figure 2.2 you can see that it shows both statistics and graphs for the population of Male and Females in Swanage and Dorset. Obviously Swanage is a smaller area than Dorset so Dorsets resu lts will obviously be greater in population. In both areas Females need a higher(prenominal) population than Males. The reason for this is probably because on that point are much retail shops that attract for Females than Males.\r\nAge Structure\r\nThis Graph shows the Age structure of large number from both Dorset and Swanage. From Figure 2.3 you can see that the mint from (18-44) and (60-84) draw the highest amount of %. This shows that middle aged hatful give track in Swanage and Dorset than Older or Younger pile. This nub that about residential state who live in Swanage deport romps or stomach Part- snip Job and owns a house or an apartment. there are precisely any 16-17 yr olds also there arent that umpteen elderly people as well.\r\n deduction\r\nFrom all of the statistics I look at I will call a nett conclusion that Swanage will gradually increase in population which would view as much than females than males. Also some of the residents would have Jobs because well-nigh of the population in Swanage are aged form 18-84.\r\nEXTENT OF TOURISM\r\nThe Importance of Tourism\r\nIn Swanage Tourism is especially important as that is what concur the area going â€Å" bills-wise”, without tourism the town would not flap no profit therefore will not be able to develop their area. From the cut use map there is a invention which shows how the shops for Tourists are near the beach as the beach is the most popular sight in the area. This is what will get tourists motivated to shop in the area. In summer time the tourist recalling rate will increase as the scenery will seem better due to the fact that the last is beautiful.\r\nWho honourables from tourism?\r\nThe retail store owners would partly realise from tourism as they are fooling profit from their business which will help them for the future. The whole area of swanage will emolument from tourism as well because with their money Swanage will be able to further develop into something better.\r\nTOURIST QUESTIONNAIRE\r\nFor my coursework I was asked to create a questionnaire found on the tourists of swanage I asked a range of different questions found on relevant information I needed to mold out. On this pageboy I will focus on a some questions in particular that will help prove my first hypothesis. The first question I came crosswise is in figure 4.1 it was to find out which shops tourists use when they are shopping. As you can see from the graph the two highest selected Shops were Restaurants and Super sustenancestuffs.\r\nThis Graph tells me that most people would visit Supermarkets and restaurants while they are in swanage. This doesnt surprise because on the geography I came a across a handful of Supermarkets and Restaurants for Tourists to visit so this is an obvious result. So far this proving my hypothesis because restaurants and Supermarkets are the essential things a tourist needs so the retail stores would work out those types of shops accessible for tourists.\r\nThis is some other question that I have been focusing on in the questionnaire. What this Pie map is sexual congress is that because of the impact of tourism, tourism has influenced the area to change the way they run their shops. This is a positive impact as this will transport more tourists to visit because of the demands introductory tourists have made. As you can see from the graph because of tourism there are more restaurants arising and gift shops are give waying as well. These are popular retail store for tourist which explains the results.\r\nThis is the final question I will be attain forward for discussion as this is one of the most important questions. As you can see from the Pie Chart Tourists would like Easier political machine set Overall, this is very intelligible because on week days and weekends tourists would command to visit shops however the only things delaying their shopping time is Parking. If Tourists have more p ut then more Tourists will be able to shop thereby give more profit towards swanage. Another improvements that the tourists have remark was the fact that most of the shops need to be open of Sundays this will give them more shopping time to do last splendid shopping which is quail to happen at one point or another(prenominal). If they put this improvement forward swanage will gain more profit.\r\nRESIDENTS QUESTIONNAIRE\r\nThis is one question I chose from the residents Questionnaire which shows which area Residents visit to shop in the surrounding area. Wareham was the most mentioned. The reason for this is because there is more variety of shops to visit which would keep local people interested. I would see that it would closer to their work so the journey would be easier. Another key reason why residents would want to shop elsewhere besides Swanage is because there us easier park so they will be able to visit shops faster.\r\nThis is one do that will leadership more local p eople to shop elsewhere besides swanage the reason being, no good car put facilities. From the Pie chart it shows that 78% think that there no car parks being provided for local people. As I said before because of this issue swanage will lead local people out of the area due to the fact that they have nowhere to park their cars.\r\nThese are the improvements suggested by the residents of Swanage; overall it is equal to the Tourists improvements as both mentioned simple machine Park as their main concern. Both would rather excellent Car Parking than Shops, I imagine both residents and tourists are annoyed with Car Parks which is the reason they brought it up in the questionnaires. One improvement mentioned in the resident questionnaire which relates back to figure 2.2 is that people require more hairdressers. Because there are more females than males in swanage it is sort of obvious that women would be demanding more womanly stores.\r\n closing curtain\r\nGathering information fr om both Questionnaire it is safe to guess that the main improvement it Car Parks which is an apprehensible pass on. People from swanage should take this on board and accept a bigger car park in swanage. They have not got anything to lose because more car parks fashion more people which means more shoppers which eventually lead to money that they can use to redevelop swanage.\r\nRETAIL MAP OF SWANAGE\r\n mop up\r\nAs you can see from the annotations I have made you can get a clear idea of the types of shops open on Institute roadway and Station road. Institute road would be a great place for tourists as there are more shops which would be suitable for them, Residents would not find shops on Institute road helpful as they are specifically aimed at tourist to persuade them to stay in swanage and the way to do that is to open them with cheap advertisements. Residents would prefer shops on Station itinerary as there are shops that are aimed at residents as well as Tourists so eve ryone would be satisfied on station road.\r\nOPENING AND closing TIMES OF SHOPS\r\nTHE SECOND HYPOTHESIS\r\nRetail Opportunities in Swanage urgently need to be redeveloped to take into placard the needs of local population\r\nThis is the second hypothesis I will be focusing on and developing as well. This hypothesis is about redeveloping shops in Swanage that need to be redeveloped; I will be working on areas which are in despairing need of improvement. As I developing the areas of Swanage which need developing I will give explanations as to why I made that choice and what positive impacts can come from it. The main reason I am going to improve swanage town is because of the improvements people have stated in both the resident questionnaire and tourist questionnaires. The improvements they have made are hardheaded and true towards the area of swanage.\r\nWhy would you improve swanage?\r\nThere are many reasons as to why people would want to improve swanage the obvious reason is to make the living conditions better and the facilities to be more limber with the needs of residents and tourists. Gathering information from the both questionnaires I palpate that swanage does need improving. Better Car Parking would be a huge improvement as most people feel that is a huge downfall in swanage, there is never abundant parking. More variety of shops is one suggestion that also seems to be popular in the tourist questionnaire which is comprehensible as tourists visit areas to shop not to be bored. Opening and Closing times of shops in another issue in swanage, it seems that shops close too wee for residents so shops need to be opened later for all people to do last minute shopping. My development plan will support most of those improvements to make swanage a better area to visit.\r\n outgrowth PLAN EXPLANATIONS\r\n cultivation 1 and 2 †These are the first two improvements I have made, I have added two retail shopping areas. The reason why I did this is, is because in the residential questionnaire a large number of residents asked shopping areas that will also be open longer to match the times of residents. The types of shops that will be around here are sports shops because that was also requested in the questionnaire a large amount of residents wanted this.\r\nDevelopment 3 †As I said before in the previous explanation a handful of people wanted sports shops so I assumed that they would want empty facilities as well. Because there are more Females than Males in Swanage it is only natural that some of the residents would request leisure facilities for football or basketball etc.\r\nDevelopment 4 †This is the biggest request that the residents have made clear in the questionnaire; there wasnt sufficient parking throughout swanage I have taken that bursting charge onboard and have now added a Free Car Parking facility for residents only. Because of this residents will find it easier to get to the shops without any hassle . Since residents already live in the area it would be foolish to pay for their own parking which is why I made car parking exonerate, this was another improvement mentioned in the questionnaire.\r\nDevelopment 5 †This is the area that will be having the food market once a week this is another request mentioned in the questionnaire I thought it was a good idea as it would give residents a take place to get food effective for their homes.\r\nDevelopment 6 †Hairdressers will be added here because there are not enough hairdressers in the area so adding hairdressers will support the improvement of swanage\r\nDevelopment 7 †This will be a huge Supermarket for all residents to support all there need whether it is food or clothes etc. Residents would really send word this as there are never enough supermarkets in swanage. This will improve swanage because more people will shop thereby putting more money into the swanage development.\r\nDevelopment 8 †This will be th e pedestrian path leading to the Supermarket people kick about there being too many cars which could get dangerous for most people\r\nDevelopment 9 †This is the final improvement I will make in swanage, this area will be the picnic area/quiet area for residents who would just like a relaxing day. It is away from the supermarket so there will no collision with the people who want to relax and the people that want to shop. I would imagine this was requested by the older people of swanage\r\nThese are the final improvements I have towards swanage based on the results of the questionnaire. On the next page of this coursework I will justify my coursework gift reason as to why it is effective and fits the needs of residents and if it will benefit them or not.\r\nJUSTIFICATION OF PLAN\r\nOn this page I will evaluate my plan giving reason for why it is good plan and why I placed those specific facilities on the plan. I will also write about who benefits from the result of my plan.\r\ nWhy is my Plan Good?\r\nI feel my development plan is well planned out because I have placed facilities according to what people have said in the questionnaire, I took that on board on what the people wanted and added that in my plan. The Car Park issue from before as now been resolved because of my plan, there is now a huge Car Parking facility which is free for residents, so I managed to improve in two ways. Another way my plan is good is because I added a large supermarket for residents to use. Residents would find this very useful as they mentioned this in questionnaire. Most of the facilities did not take much thought it was mostly commence esthesis and guidance from the tourist and residential questionnaire.\r\nWho will benefit?\r\nMany people will benefit from this improvement change, one group in particular would be the elderly people because I have added a quiet area away from the excitement where people can relax and enjoy the day. Residents would appreciate this, as the y can be in a garner environment which would calm them down if they were stressed. The male groups will benefit because I have added a leisure facility for all popular sport, for men who like sport this is one improvement that will make swanage for enjoyable. For the female groups I have added hairdresser facilities, women from swanage will appreciate this change because there are hardly any hairdressers in swanage and having one near residential houses will benefit residential women.\r\nWhat do I think my plan overall\r\nOverall I feel my plan is good because it satisfies the needs of residents and there wont be any collisions with tourist shops. Everyone will be satisfied in the area they are in since the change I made to swanage.\r\nCONCLUSION AND military rating\r\nConclusion\r\nAfter all information gathered from questionnaires and statistics I have come to the conclusion that my hypothesis has been proven due to the fact that most all tourist and residents gave listed improve ments for swanage. All the data analyzed led me to this conclusion and I feel I made that my conclusion has been proven.\r\nAlthough the conclusion I managed to come up with was true there are quieten areas in my coursework that I feel can improved. The explanations I gave for my maps and graphs could have been explained better with more assure to prove my point. The statements I gave for development couldve been explained more clearly but was still a satisfactory effort.\r\nEvaluation\r\nOverall I would say my project would be grazed from a B to an A because I followed the criteria given and gave evidence to prove my point. I created diagram and graphs to prove another point. However as I said there are still areas for improvement which is the reason for the grade I have given.\r\n'
