Eduqas A-Level Geography Changing Places (Component 1, Section B) overview quiz quiz

Space is invested with meaning and emotional attachment, whereas place is just abstract, undifferentiated location

They mean exactly the same thing and the two terms can be used interchangeably without any difference

Place is a space invested with meaning, memory and emotional attachment; space is location considered abstractly

Place refers only to rural areas, while space refers only to towns, cities and other urban settlements

In-migration of young professionals from elsewhere

Investment by a large transnational corporation

A national media image promoted across the country

The place's topography and built environment

Because the demographic, socio-economic and physical characteristics of places change continually over time

Because places never change at all and keep exactly the same fixed character permanently throughout the years

Because places exist only in the media and in representations, never as real lived environments

Because place and space are identical, so neither term has any distinct or stable meaning

Insideness is the detached, observing view of a passing tourist; outsideness is the deep sense of belonging felt by a long-term resident

Insideness is the lived familiarity of belonging; outsideness is the more detached view of a visitor or newcomer

They both simply describe different kinds of statistical and census data collected about a place

Insideness applies only to far and distant places, while outsideness applies only to local places

It has made every place completely identical in distance from every single other place, so the near and far distinction no longer means anything at all to anyone

It has ended all forms of migration completely, so people no longer move between near places and far places in the way they once did

Through time-space compression it has blurred the distinction, letting people experience far places indirectly and connecting places through global flows

It has made far and distant places completely impossible to know or experience in any way unless you travel there in person

Formal representations are subjective and qualitative (art and film); informal ones are objective and quantitative (census and maps)

Both formal and informal representations are purely emotional and entirely subjective views of a place

Informal representations are always more accurate and reliable than formal ones in every case

Formal representations are quantitative (census, maps); informal ones are qualitative (art, film, music)

A place homogenised by the same retail and coffee chains, losing its distinctiveness through globalisation

A town that has no shops or services of any kind left on its high street at all

A purpose-built tourist resort created from scratch to attract visitors and spending

A town that has deliberately rejected and banned all national retail and coffee chain stores from its centre entirely

Counter-urbanisation

Deindustrialisation

Gentrification

Re-imaging

Describing the data only, in careful detail, without ever explaining what process lies behind the measured change

Listing every single census and survey figure you can possibly find for the place, one after another, with no analysis or linkage at all

Linking a measured change (such as an ageing population pyramid) to the process behind it (such as out-migration or deindustrialisation)

Avoiding quantitative data altogether and relying purely on qualitative impressions and personal opinion instead

One single place only, studied in great depth across the whole course

Five different places, each studied at a contrasting geographical scale

Only places that students have personally visited on a fieldwork trip

Two contrasting places, normally one local and one far or distant

Rebranding changes how a place is perceived (its image); regeneration is the physical, economic and social renewal of a declining place

Rebranding renews the physical, economic and social fabric of a declining place; regeneration merely changes how a place is perceived by outsiders

They are exactly the same process under two different names, so the two terms are fully interchangeable

Regeneration applies only to declining rural areas, never to towns, cities or former industrial districts

Because regeneration always fails completely and never delivers any improvement at all to a declining area, no matter what the various players involved actually intend

Because property-led regeneration can gentrify an area, raising rents and displacing the existing low-income community, so benefits are unevenly distributed

Because no players or stakeholders are ever involved in regeneration schemes, so nobody can possibly disagree about the outcomes

Because regeneration never changes the built environment in any visible way at all, so residents see no difference
