Section A – The Background Using Resource 2: a.Where do most 45 – 64 year olds live? (1) b.What percentage of year olds live in urban areas? (1) c.Where do most children live?

Section A – The Background Using Resource 2: e. Describe the distribution of rural inhabitants. (6) Remember..... Trend - State the general pattern shown? Example – Refer to the data (age groups and %) Anomaly – Is there anything that doesn’t fit the trend? f. Compare the distribution of rural inhabitants with that of urban inhabitants.

Section A – The Background g. Explain the likely reasons for the proportion of rural inhabitants aged (6) Remember..... Point (level 1 answer, 1–2 marks) Explain (level 2 answer, 3–4 marks) Develop (level 3 answer, 5–6 marks) You should look to give at least two reasons, explain them and develop them fully to explain why young adults don’t live in rural areas. h.Why do more people over the age of 45 live in rural areas? (8) As with the previous question, you are looking to develop your ideas, but since there are 8 marks for this question you should be developing three ideas fully.

Section A – The Background Britain needs more houses. Develop each of the ideas below fully to explain why there is a housing crisis: More divorces  Ageing population  Population growth  Internal migration  Nimbyism  Houses are too expensive  Run down houses  Two key ideas more houses needed, not enough being built.

Section A – The Background i. Explain how ‘Nimbyism’ is contributing to Britain’s housing crisis. (6) Remember..... Point Explain Develop You should look to give at least two reasons, explain them and develop them fully To answer this question properly you need to go beyond the obvious. So “People don’t want more houses built hear them” is not good enough. Think, Why don’t people want more homes built close to them? Think about: Social – pressure on services such as schools, hospitals, etc. Economic – impact on the value of their house Environmental – more traffic and congestion in the area.
