Representations of Place
- Places are represented in huge range of qualitative and quantitative ways
- Examples of quantitative place representation include census data, crime rates, house prices, demographic data like population pyramids and economic data that can often be found on a council website
- Qualitative data includes songs, novels, poetry, paintings, photographs and film
- Cartographic data is also a very useful way to represent a place, it is somewhere in between qualitative and quantitative as it is somewhat objective but requires some interpretation by the producer in terms of how to draw the map
Exam Tip
Be sure to revise specific songs, paintings, poems and photographs so you can compare them with unknown examples that may come up in the data analysis questions
