8 0453/02/O/N/08 © UCLES 2008 3 Study Fig. 6, which is about a study carried out in Jaipur, a city in India. In many cities in India, slums have grown wherever there was space. Many have by now become so crowded that there is no longer room for new migrants to the towns or cities to build their homes. Therefore many new migrants live on pavements, or next to roads and railways. Most of them live in home-made shelters made of polythene sheets, cardboard, cloth or blankets, supported by tree branches or bamboo poles. A tap in the street is often their only source of water; a nearby street lamp the source of light and any unused space becomes a place to throw rubbish and human waste. A piece of research was carried out to investigate the lifestyle of these people, who live on pavements and alongside roads in Jaipur. A total of 296 families were studied, which was a 10% sample. Interviews were used to find out information about the people and their families. Fig. 6 (a) (i) In which city was this research carried out? [1] (ii) Use the information in Fig. 6 to explain why many new migrants to this city live on pavements, or next to roads and railways. [1] (iii) Suggest reasons why interviews were used for this investigation. [2] (iv) What is meant by a 10% sample? [1] (v) Give three different ways by which the sample of 296 families could have been chosen. [3] (vi) Describe and explain any difficulties which you think the researchers might have had in carrying out these interviews. [4]

12 0453/02/O/N/08 (d) Study Fig. 12, which shows information about four possible schemes being considered by the authorities of Jaipur to solve the problem of people living on pavements, or next to roads and railways. JAIPUR METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT Scheme 1 Provide low-cost housing with basic amenities on the edge of the city. Scheme 2 Give an area of land to these people with a public washroom, piped water and toilets. Scheme 3 Employ more police to prevent people from living on the pavements, and teams of council workers to clear rubbish. Scheme 4 Give grants to farmers in the countryside so they can buy tools, fertilisers and irrigation pumps. Fig. 12 Choose the scheme which you think will be most likely to solve the problem of people living on pavements, or next to roads and railways. Explain your reasons for choosing this scheme. You should do this by describing the advantages of the scheme you have chosen and the disadvantages of the schemes you rejected.
