Elaborations
- • Elaboration identifying appropriate primary research methods, including fieldwork, and using specialised digital tools to collect original materials; for example, interview and survey data, photographs of streetscapes, annotated field sketches, diagrams and statistics related to liveability
- • Elaboration collecting relevant secondary research materials, such as print and online publications, photographs and images, using advanced search functions; for example, “allintitle: community opinion on water scarcity in Australia” or “Australia’s most liveable city”
- • Elaboration representing relevant data and information in appropriate formats to combine ideas; for example, applying primary research to the design of a questionnaire or survey on what is meant by liveability, with results presented in a table or graph
- • Elaboration representing spatial distribution of different types of geographical phenomena by constructing appropriate maps at different scales that conform to cartographic conventions, for example using computer mapping to show the spatial distribution of impacts of hydrological hazards on environments
