Changing places
Evaluate the effectiveness of geospatial data in contributing to a sense of place?
(4 marks)
Geospatial data is any data that represents features or objects on the Earth's surface e
...

topography, relief, physical features and landmarks
...
One way it can be used to contribute to a sense of place is by
providing meaningful information to an individual who is new to the area
...
Additionally, a sense of place can be enhanced by using GIS to plan
out strategic urban planning and developments
...


Explain how a place can be interpreted differently by different groups of people
(10 marks)
A sense of place is the subjective and emotional attachment to a place
...
An insider is someone who knows a place very
well and is familiar with its topography and its daily rhythms and events, e
...
resident who
has lived in that place for their entire life
...
g
...

An example where different groups of people interpret a place differently is the socioeconomic segregation in Kensington
...
The catastrophic event killed at least 40 people and around 20 people were critically
injured
...
The destruction of the tower brought despair and threatened
the security and safety of the residents
...
g
...
A resident from Grenfell could feel
socially excluded and an absence of belonging
...
Perhaps even neglected or infuriated at why they aren’t given a
good quality of life that their mega-rich neighbours seem to have
...
A resident who lives nearby told Channel 4 news “the people who died
and lost their homes this happened to them because they are poor”
...
highlighting the spatial exclusion that divides
Kensington
...


Outline the cultural characteristics of social inequalities you found in the local
palace that you have studied (3 marks)
In the London borough where the Grenfell Tower tragic incident occurs shows major signs of
social inequalities, these include 60% of the homes being council homes, 1 in 5 people
dropping out of education after the age of 16 and some areas being left derelict
...


Explain with reference to the model of place attachment, explain how a sense
of place is formed (6 marks)
Place attachment is the emotional bond between person and place
...
Place attachment depends on the person and their
religious or historical background, e
...
a Christian family becoming part of their religious
community in their neighbourhood
...
g
...
The place itself can form a sense of
place due to its physical and social characteristics
...
A home is a secure place
that many people can associate strong bonds to as it is a place with stability and content
...
g
...
A place that has significant physical
aspects to it like a scenic landscape or natural areas that are aesthetically pleasing allows a
sense of place to be formed because a person can feel tranquil and at peace once they are in a
place like this, e
...
a national park or the countryside
...
With the same example before, a gay space in Manchester may allow affective bonds
to arise between a gay couple as they can express their love and pride freely to a LGBTQ+
community without receiving discrimination or hate
...


Describe one way in which corporate bodies can try to influence or create
specific place meanings
...
This can include the introduction of new intriguing campaigns, advertisements
and promotional posts on social media to give the place a specific place meaning
...
It
attracted over 5
...


Explain why an outsider perspective might give a different sense of place to an
insider perspective (4 marks)
An outsider perspective is formed only from the media (TV newspaper social media
...
Someone with an outsider perspective may experience a weak sense of place
because they are unable to attach meanings to it due to lack of knowledge of the social
economic or environmental characteristics of the place EG a tourist who lives in the UK and
wants to travel to India full stop on the other hand an Insider perspective is the view of
someone who lives in the place and is able to associate and meaning towards it
...
Therefore, a stronger sense of place is formed because there is a sense of
belonging to a community and where one has experienced lived memories in that place
...


For a place that has been successfully rebranded, evaluate the strategies used in
the place-making process (20 marks)
Longbridge situated in south west Birmingham is synonymous as the UK’s once leading
plant site for MG Rover where over 250,000 people were employed and over a 3rd of a
million cars were produced
...
However, the Longbridge Regeneration Plan aims to transform the derelict
brownfield site by building over 2000 new homes and creating 10,000 jobs
...
Although
the new creation of jobs will overcome the unemployment issue that struck Longbridge
following the demolition of the plant (as many people lost their jobs), there are still some
concerns regarding the use of a brownfield site
...
However arguably it is more beneficial to
build on brownfield sites as it provides an environmentally friendly, sustainable approach to
redevelopment, generating opportunities to recycle derelict land, and playing a key role in
supporting the environmental, social and economic regeneration of Longbridge
...

Additionally, there will be 350 new homes built by the Park View and Cotton Fields housing
developments that are within walking distance of Longbridge rail station and less than three
miles away from junctions M5 and M42
...
Residential schemes will cater to families, youths, affluent
individuals, elderly and disabled- enabling a place of identity and strengthening the

community by bringing people together
...
This could pose
a threat to Longbridge into becoming a ‘donut’ city where the overall quality of life is too
expensive for low income families but suitable for wealthy affluent individuals
...
However, this incentive is temporary, so the consequences described earlier could still
occur
...

In conclusion, the previous strategies that were used to rebrand Longbridge have many
hopeful possibilities in regenerating Longbridge and creating a strong sense of place and
distinctive character- but they also bring a few drawbacks that could hinder the area in the
future
...
‘Today media places are as real as experienced places for many’
...
