What are some examples of decision making in geography?
Some of these questions might be familiar to you and they are all examples of decision making in Geography.
So, decision making is not new.
It is about making geographical decisions. • Should a new development take place? • Where should it be built? • What will be the impact on the people that live there? .
,
What are the factors affecting a decision making exercise?
Like any geographical issue, there are economic, social and environmental aspects both positive and negative.
The decision is finely balanced with strong arguments possible on both sides.
If this were the context of your decision making exercise, you would have to balance these arguments and weigh one against the other.
,
What is a decision-making exercise?
A decision-making exercise puts you in that position.
You might be asked to make a decision or judgement based on resources given.
These could include:
- maps
- graphs
- photographs
- diagrams
- newspaper articles or quotes
You will have to link these resources to your own knowledge, sometimes about a number of different topics.
,
Why are geographical decisions a 'issue'?
Geographical decisions are all around us and you are used to dealing with them in Geography classes.
They can be contentious and people may have very strong views on them.
It is these views which make the developments in the Decision Making Paper a geographical ‘issue’.
