  By Thursday November 10th May 2011 Explain why refugees and asylum seekers enter countries with developed economies (10) Mark Scheme suggested content: reasons include push factors of persecution due to war, race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group (e.g. 'gay'), political opinion or (environmental disaster). Reasons also include pull factors such as the lure of a better life economically and socially in the MEDC; but this alone is no basis for being a refugee many political asylum claims in the UK are rejected (if they are deemed to be mainly being made on economic grounds) - there has to be 'well founded fear'. Based on our work on Uganda at http://www.geogonline.org.uk/as_g2ki1.42.htm

Explain and justify the techniques you selected to represent the data (as graphs).  
     
  By Tuesday 29th March First part of Fieldwork Writing Up - cover the aim and introduction. After the fieldvisit I have suggested a revised overall question … How is flood risk perceived and managed in Upton-on-Severn compared with Crickhowell?
  1. What is the nature of the flood problem in Upton-on-Severn compared with that in Crickhowell?
  2. How is the flood problem managed and how effective is the flood management strategy in both places?
  3. What Factors Influence Residents Perception of Flood Risk?
    This gives more of  a mix of primary and secondary methods of data collection and makes it easier to use Mr. Chandler's talk as a data source. His talk summary will be available online at http://www.geogonline.org.uk/as_drainage_investigation.htm click - Meeting with Environment Agency. The Upton-on-Severn results are posted here.

By Tuesday 29th March - submit a copy of this work to Mr. Noblett (but keep working on your own copy) 1) Introduction.

a.       What was your aim? – discuss your key question and how you broke it down into sub-questions.

b.      Briefly talk about locations, flood history, map flood risk. Outline the ‘outer limits of your selected field area’ -  where have we studied and why.
