E.g. Western Isles of Scotland, Isle of Skye
3a. In the United Kingdom, give an example of each of the following:(ii) a rural region affected by counter-urbanisation (1)

Max 2 from:It has grown a great dealGrown by 10 timesPopulation grown rapidlyTourist numbers increased
Max 3 from:
Water demand will have increased
Desert area used up with sprawl
Loss of habitat due to sprawl, made worse by number of tourists
Air quality will have reduced with number of tourists
3D Study photograph C in the Resource Booklet. It shows a coastal settlement on the south coast of England.Using evidence from the photograph and your own knowledge, show how this settlement is dependent on tourism and leisure (4)

Ports closing with shift to air transport
Growth of tourism generally with increased leisure time and income

Counter-urbanisation leading to growth in ‘rural’ areas
Retirement to rural/coastal areas
Re-location of industry to smaller towns and cities leading to slower urban growth
Deindustrialisation and loss of jobs from inner cities
Urban regeneration in recent years leading to some revival of inner city populations, e.g. Salford
For full marks you need a good detailed explanation about the population change with examples of both rural and urban areas, e.g Isle of Skye. Use geographical terminology, spelling, punctuation and grammar
