1 AS Change Question spotting Changing rate of growth How the rate of growth has changed over the last 100 years Explain the reasons for these changes Describe global or national distribution. Study the map which shows density in China. pattern shown on the map. (3) Indicators of change Compare the vital rates for countries at different stages of development Jan 2010: Distinguish between birth rate and fertility rate. (4) Study the table which gives information on infant mortality rate and GDP per capita for selected countries in Outline the usefulness of infant mortality rate as an indicator of development. (4) Study the newspaper extract about change in the UK. Using the extract, describe and comment on the causes of recent change in the United Kingdom. (6) Define 'infant mortality rate'. (2) Distinguish between natural and migration change. (3) Figure 9 shows natural change and net migration in the UK between 1991 and Describe and comment on trends shown in Figure 9. usefulness of at least two measures (such as birth rate, death rate, fertility rate, infant mortality rate, life expectancy, migration rate and density) as indicators of development. Study the world

2 map which shows average life expectancy by country for Describe and suggest reasons for the pattern shown in the map. (7) Use birth and death rates to calculate rates of natural increase Comment on the varying rates of natural change shown in Figure 10. Define net migration Demographic Transition Model (DTM) Draw and explain the 5 stages of the DTM. Study the figure which shows a partially completed diagram of the demographic strengths and weaknesses of the demographic Examine how at different stages transition. Complete the diagram by adding appropriate labels. (4) Explain the DTM s strengths and weaknesses Study the table which shows birth rates, death rates and total for Malaysia from 1960 to To what extent does Malaysia fit the demographic

3 transition model for the time period shown? (6) Calculate the dependency ratio pyramids, structure and the DTM Define the key components of a pyramid and structure. Draw simplified pyramids and link them to the DTM Describe how the structure of a country in stage 2 transition model is different from that of a country in stage 4? Study two pyramids which show China s structure in 2000 and 2050 (projected). China introduced a control policy in To what extent do the pyramids suggest that China s policy will allow development? (7) Examine how at different stages transition. Examine how at different stages transition. Study Figure 6 which shows the structure of four countries. Outline contrasts in structure shown in Figure 6. (3) throughout the stages of the DTM. Draw a sketch pyramid to show the structure of a country in stage 2 of the DTM. (3) Figure 7 shows a pyramid for people aged up to 85 in England and Wales in The England and Wales pyramid displayed the characteristics of a country in

4 Use a pyramid for predicting future change Explain the social, economic and political implications of pyramids on the future of a country Define under, over, optimum link to development An ageing can bring economic, political and social advantages as well as disadvantages. Discuss this view. stage 4 until 2001, but the evidence of this stage is less clear in Provide evidence from Figure 7 for this statement. (3) throughout the stages of the demographic Draw a sketch pyramid to show the structure of a country in stage 2 (3) implications of an ageing. (6) The impact of different structures on the balance between and resources Comment on the impact of different structures on the balance between and

5 resources. Gambia youthful case study Japan ageing case study An ageing can bring economic, political and social advantages as well as disadvantages. Discuss this view. implications of an ageing. (6) Management case studies China and France Explain why the governments decided to start this policy link to development. Describe how both government policies work. advantages and disadvantages of both case studies Changing Rural area case study inaccessible rural areas are experiencing rural Study two pyramids which show China s structure in 2000 and 2050 (projected). China introduced a control policy in To what extent do the pyramids suggest that China s policy will allow development? (7) With reference to a case study, assess how successful one country has been in managing change. (7) With reference to two case studies of countries at different stages of development, asses the success of attempts to manage change. Explain why the density of an area may change over time.

Settlement case study - Dartford Describe two contrasting areas of For better or worse? Discuss how change can affect the character of rural and urban areas. Explain why the density of an area may change over time. For better or worse? Discuss how change can affect the character of rural and urban areas. Jan 2010: For any two of the following Choose two areas shown in Figures 9a Study the 1: OS map extract

7 Dartford. Describe their distinctive features. types of area, summarise the contrasts between them and explain the implications of these contrasts for social welfare. (inner city, suburban, ruralurban fringe, rural settlement) 9d. Using only the photographs, contrast the the two settlement areas chosen. (4) showing four different areas of Leeds. Choose two of the settlement areas. Using the map extract, contrast the the two settlement areas that you have chosen. (4) Analyse the data on the residents of both areas. Refer to socio-economic data, age, ethnicity, employment, health, housing and provision of services. Study a table of socio-economic data for four different areas of settlement in four wards of Leeds. Choose two of the settlement areas. Using the table only, contrast the the two areas that you have chosen. (4) Suggest reasons for the contrasts described in (a)(i). (4) For two areas of settlements that you have studied, contrast the socioeconomic the residents. For two areas of settlement that you have studied, describe how the provision of services is different. Explain the impact on social welfare (quality of life) for the residents in your two areas. Use your settlement case studies to comment on the implications for social welfare. (6)
