Learning Objective: How can we identify land use using maps and satellite images? Outcome: You will produce a colour coded map of Southampton showing all major land use.
Where are you most likely to find...
How can we recognise the CBD? Bus stops Large buildings Tree-lined roads Shadows
How can we recognise Industry? Large grey buildings Next to river or railway lines Brown/grey spaces
How can we recognise terraced Housing? Straight roads Houses all connected Very small garden
How can we recognise inter-war housing? Semi-detached housing Larger back gardens Small front gardens
How can we recognise modern housing? Small cul-de- sac roads (dead ends!) Large detached houses Open spaces and large gardens
Your Task: Colour code your Base map as follows: River/waterLight Blue Central Business DistrictPurple IndustryBrown Old/terraced housingYellow Inter war/semi detachedOrange Modern/detachedRed Use the Ordnance Survey Map or Computer to search the areas of Southampton shown on your base map. Identify the MAIN land use in each area:
Reflection: Which land use model is Southampton most similar to? Write a few sentences explaining (with evidence from your map) how closely Southampton resembles the urban land use models. Do you think land use models are useful?
