2 Section A Cluster 4 Fieldwork 1 Five students undertook an investigation about whether the needs of the elderly have been met in Ang Mo Kio (AMK) Hub, a suburban shopping mall located in Ang Mo Kio in Singapore. They came up with a research question “Are the dietary and healthcare needs of the elderly met in AMK Hub?” They decided to collect the data on a weekday in June at 10am to 12 noon. They went to the mall directory and counted the number of clinics, health food stores and food establishments. They were unsure of some of the names and did not consider these stores in their total tally. They also stood at the entrance of a few shops to survey any elderly they saw. They surveyed a total of 9 elderly men and 1 elderly woman. Resource 1 shows the entrance of AMK Hub.
