4 9751/02/IJC/SEP17 Section A Theme 3: Geographical Investigation 1 A group of 20 18 year old students from a junior college in Singapore wanted to examine the impact of industries on local communities. They have decided to study the impact of Nordcom 1 and Nordcom 2, which are two new light industrial areas located near a residential area in Woodlands. The students wanted to gather information on the impact of the industrial area on the residents living nearby, especially in terms of noise, po llution and economic impact. They were given one week to complete their investigation in August in 2018. The students then decided to divide themselves into four teams of 5. Two teams carried out their investigation in the newly completed residential areas, HDB Sun Natura and HDB Sun Breeze; and two other teams carried out their investigation in the residential areas further away. They have decided to carry out questionnaire surveys by approaching residents who were walking by the shops or at food establishments. The questions asked in the survey were: • “To what extent has the setting up of Nordcom 1 and 2 made an impact to your life?” • “Has the impact been largely positive or negative?” • “Has the presence of Nordcom 1 and 2 brought more income to the area?” • “Are you affected by the noise or pollution generated from Nordcom 1 or 2?” The investigation was conducted from 12pm to 1pm each day. Each group interviewed 25 residents in total. Resource 1 shows a map of the surrounding area of Nordcom 1 and 2. Resourc
