2 0453/02/O/N/14 © UCLES 2014 1 Study Fig. 1, an extract about secondary data. Secondary data are often used in research investigations. Many researchers use quantitative data, such as official statistics, as a source of information. Other researchers prefer to use qualitative data, for example personal records such as letters, diaries and photographs. Some make use of articles in newspapers, or on film and TV. Materials published in books and on the Internet may also be useful forms of secondary data. Secondary data can be useful to support primary data, which have been collected by questionnaires, interviews and observation, but care has to be taken when using them. Data may not always be up to date and they may not always provide the information required. The validity of the data may therefore be limited. Fig. 1 (a) Identify two examples from Fig. 1 of: Qualitative data 1 … 2 … Primary data 1 … 2 … [4] (b) Define the following terms: Official statistics … … … Quantitative data … … … Validity of data … … … [3]

8 0453/02/O/N/14 © UCLES 2014 The Government of St. Lucia plans to increase the number of international tourists visiting the island. The east coast of the island is not developed for tourism at the moment. The Ministry of Tourism has three options: Option 1 Encourage multinational companies to build large all-inclusive resort complexes on the east coast to attract European and American visitors. Option 2 Create several small ecotourism resorts on the east coast which will attract environmentally aware tourists. Option 3 Develop the island’s existing tourist areas further and do not develop the east coast at all. Choose the option which you think will be most beneficial for St. Lucia. Explain your reasons for choosing this option. You should do this by describing the advantages of the option you have chosen and the disadvantages of the options you have rejected.

10 0453/02/O/N/14 © UCLES 2014 4 Students of Development Studies in a school in Mauritius carried out a research investigation into the growth and impact of tourism on the island. They decided to investigate why international tourists come to Mauritius and what impact tourism has on the island. Their two research questions were: A. Are natural attractions more important to tourists in Mauritius than built attractions? B. Does tourism have more positive than negative effects in Mauritius? (a) The students started by identifying and taking photographs of a number of attractions on the island. These attractions are shown in Photographs A to F (Insert). (i) Identify one photograph which shows a natural attraction and one which shows a built attraction. Natural attraction: Photograph … Built attraction: Photograph …[2] (ii) The students used their photographs to make a presentation and included a description of the attractions. For any three photographs, fully describe the attractions of the area for tourists. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …[7]

(e.g. traffic survey, count cars, interview people, carry out questionnaires, see how long it takes for journeys etc.) Level 2 (3 to 4 marks) More specific or developed statements which describe one or two methods which could be used to investigate impact of traffic congestion. (e.g. carry out a traffic survey recording vehicles heading to main tourist destinations, interview residents about how they are effected by traffic congestion) Level 3 (4 to 6 marks) A comprehensive answer which uses developed statements to clearly describe a variety of methods which could be used to investigate impact of traffic congestion. (e.g. carry out a traffic survey recording vehicles heading to main tourist destinations, interview residents about how they are effected by traffic congestion, carry out questionnaires asking people in car parks about the time taken for their journey in and out of the main tourist seasons; time vehicles over a set distance in areas where there are different numbers of tourists, observe impact of street parking in tourist hotspots etc.) [6] N.B.: Don’t allow development for generic advantages of the methods, must relate to the impact of traffic congestion. Accept primary or secondary methods. Reference to sampling methods is not relevant. [Total = 39 marks]
