Must know a bit of statistics. I will share the file with writer after I confirm him/her.
Field work question and geographic context (300 words)
Research Question:
To what extent does the Central Area of Singapore conform to the typical characteristics of a CBD?
Hypothesis
- What you expect will be the result of the study
- The IA will aim to evaluate whether the hypothesis will come through or not. Why or why not?
The Central Area of Singapore does conform to the typical characteristics of a CBD to a large extent.
Background
- Why / Where is the investigation going to be carried out
- Define the scope (define the “central area” of singapore)
- Define typical characteristics of CBD
- Discuss the relevant social, spatial, economic conditions and other background information.
- Include other concepts and other characteristics
- Put a detailed map of my research area (this shows the spatial element)
- State what part of the syllabus this refers to (core topics? Or optional topics? URBAN)
What is the point of investigation? What is the theory?
Methods of Investigation (300 words)
Methodology
- List out the methods used for the hypothesis
- Describe themWhat kind of technology did you use? What kind of sampling techniques?time and locationcircumstances(peak hour?)
- Include primary and secondary data
- What are the sampling and surveying techniques that I am using
- Justify them – Why are you using this specific method to investigate?
- Explain how the data that you collect is relevant to your theory, and therefore your research question and hypothesis
Quality and treatment of information collected (500 words)
Presentation and organisation and treatment of data
- Present the data appropriately, and analyse it appropriatelyInclude statistical graphs, statistical tests, diagrams, maps, annotated photographs, images, field sketches (measurements and scaling of maps and photographs that is included inside)Refer back to the geographic context Refer back to the information collected Graph and tables must be used to present the data for analysisLabel annotate these graphs and tables (pie chart / bar graphs / T )
Written Analysis (850 words)
- Interpret and explain information (data) that has been collected in relation to the fieldwork question
- Recognise trends from the data
- Patterns found in the information that I’ve collected
- Relationships between the information and the hypothesis between the data
- Have a lot of necessary illustrations – any suitable graphs that help you explain the data collected
- Talk about concepts like urbanisation, etc. PLV model, the burgers model
Conclusion (200 words)
- A few clear concise statements answering your Research Question and whether the result of your hypothesis is matched by the result of your study.
Evaluation (300 words)
- Were there any factors that affected the validity of your data?That affects how right your data was? Were there any biases? Or where there any unpredicted circumstances – anomalies – affected the flow of humans Selectively chose times – not accurate The data might not be entirely correct because of these limitations
Suggest specific ways the study can be improved and used as reference in the future.
