,For A-Level Geography Paper 2: Human Geography, focus on the following key areas:
1. Globalisation:
Processes: Understand the key drivers of globalization, such as advances in technology, trade
liberalization, and international organizations (e.g., WTO, IMF).
Impacts: Study both the positive (economic growth, access to technology) and negative impacts
(inequality, environmental degradation, loss of culture) of globalization. Focus on the effects on countries
at different levels of development.
Case Studies: Use real-world examples (e.g., China's role in global trade, impacts of global supply
chains in developing countries).
2. Population and Migration:
Population Dynamics: Study population growth, demographic transition model, and the factors
influencing population change (e.g., birth rates, death rates, life expectancy).
Migration: Understand the types and causes of migration (e.g., voluntary, forced, rural to urban,
international). Focus on push and pull factors and the effects on both origin and destination locations.
Case Studies: Be familiar with migration examples like Syrian refugees, migration within the EU, or
rural-to-urban migration in rapidly growing cities.
3. Urbanisation and Urban Issues:
Urban Growth: Study the causes and consequences of rapid urbanization, including the development of
megacities.
Urban Issues: Focus on challenges cities face, such as housing shortages, urban sprawl, traffic
congestion, pollution, and inequality.
Urban Regeneration: Understand the concept of urban regeneration and examples of successful
regeneration projects (e.g., London's Docklands, Manchester's city center).
4. Resource Management:
Resource Distribution: Study the global distribution of resources (e.g., water, energy, food) and their
importance to economic development.
Sustainability: Understand the need for sustainable management of resources, including the use of
renewable energy, water conservation, and sustainable farming practices.
Global Challenges: Focus on global challenges related to resources, such as food insecurity, water
scarcity, and energy crises.
5. Development and Inequality:
Measures of Development: Be familiar with indicators like GDP, HDI, Gini coefficient, and their
limitations in measuring development.
Theories of Development: Study different development theories, such as modernization theory,
dependency theory, and world systems theory.
Inequality: Understand the causes of inequality within and between countries, including economic,
social, and political dimensions.
Case Studies: Use specific examples (e.g., the development gap between North and South Korea, or
the impacts of development in sub-Saharan Africa).
