,For AS Geography Paper 2: Human Geography and Geography Fieldwork Investigation, focus on the
following key areas:
1. Human Geography:
Globalisation: Understand the processes of globalisation, including economic, social, and cultural
aspects. Study the effects on trade, migration, and communication. Be able to explain both positive and
negative impacts on different regions and societies.
Population and Migration: Know the causes and consequences of population growth, decline, and
migration. Study different types of migration (e.g., rural to urban, international), and related issues like
urbanization, population density, and ageing populations.
Urban Issues and Challenges: Focus on urbanization processes and the challenges faced by cities,
such as housing, transport, pollution, and inequality. Study both developed and developing world cities.
Resource Management: Understand the distribution, management, and consumption of resources
(e.g., water, energy, food). Know the challenges of sustainable resource management, including water
scarcity, food security, and renewable energy.
Development and Inequality: Be familiar with measures of development (e.g., GDP, HDI), theories of
development, and the impact of inequality both within and between countries. Study case studies of
development in different regions.
2. Geography Fieldwork Investigation:
Fieldwork Design: Understand how to plan and design a fieldwork investigation. Focus on forming a
hypothesis, selecting appropriate methods (e.g., surveys, questionnaires, observations), and sampling
techniques.
Data Collection and Analysis: Be able to collect both qualitative and quantitative data, and apply
appropriate techniques to analyze the data (e.g., statistical methods, graphs, and charts). Understand
how to interpret and present your findings.
Fieldwork Evaluation: Learn how to evaluate the success and limitations of your fieldwork. This
includes assessing data reliability, any issues with methodology, and how results could be improved.
3. Case Studies:
Human Geography Case Studies: Be prepared to apply your knowledge of human geography to
specific case studies. Focus on examples from both developed and developing countries (e.g., urban
regeneration in the UK, migration trends in Europe, water management in Kenya).
Fieldwork Case Studies: You should know how to relate your fieldwork study to real-world examples.
For instance, how you collected and analyzed data during a field trip and how these findings relate to
geographical concepts.
4. Key Skills:
Graphical Skills: Practice interpreting and creating graphs and charts (e.g., bar graphs, pie charts,
scatter plots) to represent data effectively.
Map Skills: Be able to read, interpret, and draw conclusions from maps, especially with reference to
population distribution, migration, and resource use.
Critical Thinking: Be able to evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches to human geography
problems (e.g., sustainability, urban planning).
