2 Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2236/01/S4 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION /2022 Section A This question is compulsory. 1 A group of students from a school in Da Nang, Vietnam conducted a geographical field investigation at the coastal city where tourism is the main economic activity. Photograph A Source: Google Map (a) Photograph A shows the location of the beach where the students are interested t o find out whether wave frequency affects beach gradient. The students marked out 2 locations, X and Y on the beach and conducted the investigation on the s ame day. Wave frequency was collected in the morning for Location X and in the afternoon for Location Y. Table 1 Waves per minute Location 1st reading 2nd reading 3rd reading X 7 7 7 Y 5 6 7 (i) Suggest a suitable hypothesis to conduct the investigation. [1] - The higher the wave frequency, the steeper the beach gradient. (or vice versa) (ii) Using Table 1, comment on the type of waves that occurred at location X and Y and its impact on the beach gradient. [3] - Based on average of 7 at Location X and 6 at Location Y - Waves are considered constructive - Less erosive power - Likely result in gentler gradient at both X and Y X Y

3 Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2236/01/S4 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION /2022 (iii) Suggest two improvements to the students’ investigation which can lead to more reliable results. [2] - Can increase scope o f collection to 4 -5 locations along the beach for better representation - Can increase frequency of data collection to span of 1 week (any reasonable days) to get more averages for wave frequency /account for weather changes on other days - Both locations sh ould be done on the same timing to ensure consistent/fair comparison of data (b) The group of students made a trip from Da Nang to Hoi An. They visited the Hoi An Ancient Town at Tran Phu St as shown in Fig. 1 (Insert 1), which showcases Vietnam’s heritage and culture. The students wanted to find out if the types of shops at Hoi An Ancient Town is influenced by the large number of tourists. Fig. 1 Describe a suitable method the students could use to find out the types of shops along Tran Phu St [4] - On a blank sheet of paper, mark out the main street Tran Phu St - From the starting point (which should be at one end of the assigned street), start walking down and observing the different land uses - Use boxes to represent the shop houses along the assigned street. - Label the different land uses observed in the respective boxes. - Repeat this process until you reach the other end of the street.

4 Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2236/01/S4 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION /2022 (c) The students decided to consider the guiding question ‘How have the sources of information used when planning holidays to Hoi An Ancient Town changed over the years?’ The group of 8 students devised a questionnaire, Fig. 2 (Insert 1), and decided to interview the tourists using a regular interval. The students also used secondary data to obtain the results from 2012 to compare. (i) State a secondary source of data to obtain the results of the sources of information in Fig. 2 (Insert 1) for the year 2012. [1] - Government official websites/tourism board websites/tourism reports (ii) Assess the usefulness of the design of the questionnaire shown in Fig. 2 (Insert 1). [2] Useful - Variety of options in Section B for tourists to choose their sources of information used Not useful - Did not provide ‘others’ option for tourists, might be forcing tourists to choose a category - Some questions irrelevant e.g. income, age (give any eg), does not help to answer the question on sources of information (iii) With reference to Fig.1 (Insert 1) and your own knowledge, describe how the students can organize their data collection using the sampling method. [4] - Systematic sampling – interview every 5th tourist (accept other plausible answers) - Can organize themselves in 4 pairs/2 groups - Decide on sampling size e.g. interview 100 tourists (any reasonable number) OR Each pair/group interview 20 tourists - Collect data over a period of 3 days/twice daily – during lunch hours (accept plausible answers) - Stand at entrances of ancient town/city walks or stand at parking lots to capture high pedestrian to get interviewees (iv) Justify the use of the sampling method used in their investigation. [2] 1.Location/Area - Because it follows a pattern, we will get better coverage of an area or sample group. 2. Reliability - no bias in the selection of tourists as the interval has been pre-selected 3. Straightforward method compared to the other sampling methods as the interval is pre-selected/easier to carry out

5 Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2236/01/S4 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION /2022 (d) Table 2 shows the results of 80 tourists who were surveyed on the sources of information used when planning holidays to Hoi An Ancient Town in 2012 and 2022. Table 2 Sources of information in 2012 Source of information No of tourists Traditional media 5 Travel agent’/tour operators websites 40 Word of mouth 17 Social media 8 Reviews on websites 10 Sources of information in 2022 Source of information No of tourists Traditional media 5 Travel agent’/tour operators websites 7 Word of mouth 15 Social media 35 Reviews on websites 18 Use the data in Table 2 to draw a bar graph on Fig. 3 (Insert 2) showing the results of the survey in 2012 and 2022. [3] - 1m for labelled axes - 1m for accurate construction of values - 1m for appropriate width and spacing of bars Sources of information used in 2012 and 2022 18 35 15 7 5 10 8 17 40 5 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Reviews on websites Social Media Word of mouth Travel agent'/tour operators' websites Traditional Media Number of tourists Method 2012 2022

6 Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2236/01/S4 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION /2022 (e) What conclusions can be drawn from the information in Table 2 and the bar graph you have drawn in Insert 2, in response to the guiding question stated above in (c)? [3] - Tourists relied more on travel agent and tour operator websites in 2012 whereas in 2022, tourists relied more on social media. [reserved 1m overall] - In 2012, TA and TO websites were the highest as half of the respondents chose that category as compared to 2022 the highest was social media with 35 respondents choosing that option. - However, traditional media remained the same for both years Section B Answer one question from this section. 2 (a) Study Table 3, which shows the number of tourist arrivals in the different regions from 2000 to 2020. Table 3 (i) Using Table 3, describe the trend in the number of tourist arrivals in the different regions from 2000 to 2020. [4] - Generally, increase in the number of international tourist arrivals across the regions - highest increase in Europe of 327 million international tourist arrivals - lowest increase in South Asia of 13 million tourists - fastest increase in Asia of 276% - slowest increase in Europe of 83% - all regions increased by more than 100% except Europe of 83%
