1 Marking Scheme Section A 1 A group of students investigated the experience of visitors at Jewel Changi Airport. Boasting a magnificent 40 -meter indoor waterfall, lush greenery, an extensive selection of dining and retail establishments, and a panoramic rooftop park, Jewel stands as a captivating destination within the confines of an airport. Study Fig 1.1 (Insert), which shows a layout of level 1 of Jewel Changi Airport. (a) The students designed a questionnaire to test the hypothesis “The indoor waterfall in Jewel Changi Airport serves as a unique attraction, leading to longer dwell times within the complex.” With reference to Fig 1.1 (Insert), explain how the students can sample visitors to collect the data needed to test their hypothesis. [3] Possible responses can include - Location of sample collection + reason - Timing of sample collection + reason - Sample size + reason - Method of sample collection + reason - Students can divide and locate themselves at the 4 entrances of the waterfall as there would be a large volume of visitors. - It also provide opportunities for the students to approach the visitors easily without disturbing the shops and businesses. - They can sample the visitors on a weekend as the flow of visitors will be the greatest since people are not working. - They can use the simple random sampling method as it is easy to carry out and will give data that is representative of the population. Accept other plausible responses (b) The questionnaire they used is shown in Fig 1.2 (Insert). With reference to Fig 1.2 (Insert), comment on the questions drafted and suggest possible improvements. [4] - Questions drafted are generally suitable, with a range of close - response and open -response questions, good for collecting both qualitative and quantitative data. - However, close -response and open -response questions are mixed, interviewees may find it hard to answer the questions as

Accept other plausible responses. (c) Fig 1.3 (Insert) shows two mental maps drawn by two different interviewees. Using Fig 1.3 (Insert), compare the two mental maps and explain how it shows differences in the sense of place of the two interviewees. [3] - For both mental maps, they pl aced the waterfall in the middle of the map, which may signify that both of the two people accord the same importance to the space. - Mental map 1 provides a rou
