2 Higher 2 Geography / 9751 / 02 Section A Theme 4 – Geographical Investigation 1. Baltimore City is located in the State of Maryland, nor th of the U.S. capital Washington, D. C. As a result of deindustrialisation and the decline of the port in the 1950s, the city was on a downward trend leaving behind empty warehouses and industrial sites. Urban renewal efforts in the 1970s and 1980s brought retail projects, museums and attractions like the Aquarium to the Inner Harbour while commercial and residential developers recognised the va lue of other sites along Baltimore’s Waterfront in the 1990s. A group of 25 students from the State of Maryland University wanted to examine the economic and social impacts that urban reimaging (t he Inner Harbour and Baltimore’s Waterfront) has on the loca l community. The students set aside three different days during the December holiday s to conduct the study via the use of a questionnaire. Resource 1 shows photos of Baltimore’ s Inner Harbour befor e and after renewal. Resource 2 shows changes to land use and f unctions along Baltimore’s Waterfront. Resource 3 shows the results collected from 250 respondents during the investigative study. (a) With reference to Resource 1, identify t he features in the photographs which show attempts to reimage the Inner Harbour. [4] (b) Using Resource 2, suggest an appropriate hy pothesis for the group’s investigation. [ 1 ] (c) Devise a plan for the group to conduct a questionnaire to help investigate the economic and social impacts of re-imagi ng (the Inner Harbour and Baltimore’s Waterfront) on the local community. [7] (d) Using information shown in Resource 3, draw a vertical bar graph to represent the responses for Question 1 and a pie-chart to represent the responses for Question 5. [ 4 ] (e) To what extent do Resources 1, 2 and 3 support the argument that the local community has benefited from the effort s to reimage the Inner Harbour and Baltimore’s Waterfront? [9]

Resource 6 shows predicted percentage c hange in flood risk in Indonesia between 2020 and 2100. (a) Describe the changes in temperature and rainfall shown in Resources 4 and 5 r e s p e c t i v e l y . [ 6 ] (b) Explain how the changes shown in Resources 4 and 5 could affect human activities.

[3] (e) With reference to Resource 6, evaluate t he extent to which prediction can help to mitigate the effects of flooding in Indonesia. [9]
