Intro = 1-2 sentences, including definitions, agree or disagree - 2 to 3 minutes
Paragraph 1 = named factor / agree with statement, counterpoint, back up with case study,
finish linking back to question - 5 minutes
Paragraph 2 = something that either limits the factor or makes it significant / disagreement or
agreement with statement, counterpoint, back up with case study, finish linking back to
question - 5 minutes
Paragraph 3 = something that limits the factor / disagreement with the statement,

What can decide perception of a place :
- Age ( Blackpool with an average age of 43.2, London is 36.2)
- Gender (safety and roles of women)
- Sexuality (acceptance into a place, Castro district in SFO and Gay Village in
Manchester)
- Religion (Jerusalem in Israel for Jewish, Muslim and Christians)
- Role (What you are doing in a place, school compared to the beach)
- Representation (informal or formal)
Informal Representation : TV, films, Blogs, Art, Newspapers and Social Media
Formal Representation : Census data, OS maps and GIS data
Quality of Life : The general well-being of a person measured by happiness and
health. Intangible and influenced by external factors
Standard of Living : The level of wealth, comfort, material goods and necessities
available to a person. Tangible
Poverty : Lack of standard of living
Extreme poverty : UN definition of less than $1.90 US PPP per day
Relative poverty : 60% of the UK median household income (2.7 million children fall
below this threshold)
Deprivation : Lack of quality of life and standard of living
Positive multiplier effect : One positive change sparks more
, Negative multiplier effect : One negative change sparks more
Time-Space compression : the way that the world is seemingly getting smaller, or
compressing, as a result of increased transport, communications, and capitalist
processes. Globalisation has increased interconnectedness and interdependence of
the world. Often described as the “global village” due to this.
- Advantages : Faster interconnections, increased economic and social trade
- Disadvantages : Some people feel a dislocation from a place
Global Shift : Shift of primary and secondary industries to EDCs and LIDCs
Primary Sector : Raw materials. Most common in EDCs after global shift
Secondary Sector : Manufacturing. Most common in EDCs after global shift
Quaternary sector : the industry based on human knowledge which involves
technology, information, financial planning, research, and development. Most
common in ACs
Tertiary sector : Services. Most common in ACs
Greenfield site : Site that has never been built on
Brownfield site : Site that has been previously built on
Regeneration : Strategies used to develop / improve an area
Knowledge economy : a system of consumption and production that is based on
intellectual capital.
Spatial inequality : the unequal distribution of resources and services across
different areas or locations, such as healthcare, welfare, public services, household
income and infrastructures.
Transnational corporations : Companies with hubs all over the world
Foreign Direct Investment : Overseas investment directly into a country
