What is the local-scale focus?Show answer
Unit 3 Topic 2 narrows from global processes to a local place you can investigate directly: a creek catchment, a coastal dune, an urban bushland remnant, a degraded paddock or a reclaimed mine site. The skill is moving from describing the transformation to proposing a justified, evaluated response grounded in your own primary data.
What is collecting primary data through fieldwork?Show answer
Primary data is information you gather yourself in the field. Common methods for land cover study include:
What are representing data with spatial technologies?Show answer
QCAA expects you to use spatial technologies and ICT to visually represent your data. This includes:
What are proposing management responses?Show answer
Responses to land cover transformation operate at different points:
What is evaluating a response?Show answer
Evaluation is what separates top responses. Judge a proposed response against explicit criteria:
What is recommendations that ignore the local context?Show answer
A national policy is not a local response. Tie the recommendation to the specific site, landholders and constraints you investigated.
