Urban Rural FringeWhat is it? Give the perfect definition

Changes to the Urban Environment By the end of the lesson you will;

1)Have assessed the main changes to the Urban Rural Fringe

2)Have assessed overall the positive and negative impacts of changes in settlements both in the Rural and Urban Environment

3)Have planned and developed a structure to answer an A level question

HW

Task

Research key data surrounding Newham in LondonFocus on figures and bring work into next lesson 1.Who lives there? 2.What issues are there as a result? 3.Why do these issues occur? 4.What impact does this have on the population? 5.What could be done to improve the area?

Urban Rural Fringe • What is the Urban Rural Fringe?

• How it it changing over time?

• What types of jobs do people mainly do? What impact does this have on the area?

• What are the losses from this area?

• What are the gains from this area?

Key Figures test; • Why is the area popular?

• Name one of the villages in the case study

• How has the population of Chelsford changed?

• What percentage of the population is white?

• What percentage of homes are owner occupied?

• How many people leave the home counties to travel into london every day?

Close to london but countryside Terling 58,000 in 1971 – 1200009779% 650,000

Positive / Negatives of ChangeTask1.Work in a pair to summarise the key positives and negatives of population change in the areas studied so far 2.Add in figures to back up all ideas

Positive Negative

Can make some areas more dynamic (Increase in shops and restaurants)

In rural areas can lead to a decline of services such as butchers, bakers local shops

Increase in services such as doctors surgeries Increase in house prices both in Urban and rural environment due to wealthy incomers

Can lead to an increase in multicultural societies (could be viewed as negative)

Reduction of community feel in the area = increased alienation of the elderly

Rich residents coming in = lots of taxes = nicer area in general Reduction in essential services such as schools and transport

Areas on the rural urban fringe will have good transport links to cater for the commuters coming to work and back

Leads to poor moving to specific areas = Ghettos

Traditions (limited) will be kept up to retain the rural character that people have moved to the area for

Second homes do not pay as much tax = less investment in the local area

More stringent guidelines on the countryside to ensure it is not damaged

Loss of rural jobs and character = less farmers and more commercial

Increased dereliction of farm buildings = they are no longer being used.

Urban sprawl in the fringe as more peopke move in and more houses are built

ExtensionDo you think that the positives outweigh the negatives in the UK?

1)Have assessed the main changes to the Urban Rural Fringe

2)Have assessed overall the positive and negative impacts of changes in settlements both in the Rural and Urban Environment

3)Have planned and developed a structure to answer an A level question

Planning an answer; Are the changes that happen in settlements for the best or for the worst? Describe and explain your views on this question

What the marks scheme says;

Rural Increase – rural

– likely to refer to rural-urban fringe locations andchanges in suburbanized villages regarding age structure, socio-economic groups, income, car ownership; changes in housing and house prices, services, community and possible conflict betweennewcomers and original inhabitants. Response needs to make clear what represents change for the better such as more varied, high order services and those that are for the worse, such as the loss of basic, specialised food services such as butchers and greengrocers as incoming population are more mobile.

Decrease – rural– likely to refer to loss of services, including basic onessuch as post offices, general stores as population falls, the loss of youngpopulation due to migration, leaving older behind, the importance of second home ownership and the implications of this, the need for diversification in farming, areas falling into disrepair. Likely changes herewill focus on change for the worse – should be clear from response.

Urban Increase – urbanleads to rapid growth – urban sprawl on edges –large areas of housing of varying quality; increase in demand for services – in CBD, in new retail areas throughout city, increasing social and economic problems, increase in ethnic mix leading to multicultural societies, increase in inner city and CBD edge due to redevelopment,gentrification. Changes could be viewed as for better and/or worsedepending on those included.(15 marks) Decrease – urban– leads to areas becoming rundown and neglected,leaves behind deprived areas of society – poorest, elderly, single parentfamilies, reduces service base, leads to downward spiral that makesinvestment unlikely. Likely to relate to parts of city – inner area rather than city as a whole.The response expected are in the context of the UK, but content fromother areas is equally valid as long as question is targeted
