      You should describe and explain each of your three surveys in this section. Reference should be made to specific locations, times and figures, including percentages. You should analyse each survey by suggesting an explanation for the results you have produced. It is important that you recognise links between your surveys and demonstrate an understanding of how one result helps to explain or influences another. Your personal judgements about the results should relate back to your original hypotheses. Each survey should be summarised with an acceptance or rejection of your original hypothesis, with reasons given.

      Full conclusions should be drawn for each survey, with reference to your key terms/concepts that have been identified throughout your investigation. You should look to employ a wide range of specialist geographical terms and ensure you use accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar.
