I will add to them again before the real exams I felt the human half of Contemporary Urban Environments was lacking a bit, so I've added to it using different textbooks. The Changing Places section has also been developed, and the case study covers the data sources we were meant to learn about. Coastal Systems notes and case studies are very much the same, so don't feel the need to print it off again for the sake of it
This week looked at what a sustainable city actually is. I watched a lecture by Kes McCormick, who talked about the processes behind sustainable urban transformation. There was also a talk by James Evans, a professor at Manchester University, who talked about how cities learn to be sustainable. Dr. Jennifer Lenhart talked about the importance and characteristics on urban climate governance. A video by The Economist on efficient energy use in cities A video by WWF on housing adaptation The Urban Green Part 1 The reading this week was on Sustainable Urban Transformation and the Green Urban Economy Click here to access it The key points from this week were: Kes McCormick The 21st Century has been called the 'Urban Century' by UN-Habitat. This is because more people now live in cities that rural areas, and because of the strategic importance of cities in sustainable global development. Cities are not just a source of environmental problems, they also provide oppo...
Following on from my previous revision guide for field work. Analysing the IPSOS MORI data To analyse, we undertook the chi squared test of significance Measure the relationship between age and satisfaction with life We used the degrees of freedom, and decided to accept the alternate hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis What is Chi Squared? You will not be asked to explain chi-squared. It is a statistical test like Spearman's rank (which you DO need to know!) Null hypothesis In statistics, you assume there is no relation until one is prove n. No relation = null hypothesis We proved (using chi squared) that there WAS a relation, hence we reject the null hypothesis,
