Give 4 advantages of using ICT in the collection of data
can use a handheld GPS to get accurate location information
which can be used to show data linked to specific locations
within a GIS
can collect qualitative data using digital cameras which can be
used to help explain findings / anomalies
can access data that may not otherwise have been available -
e.g. secondary data from internet
can ensure greater accuracy in readings and automatic
collection to enable studies of change over time (using data
loggers)

Give 4 disadvantages in the use of ICT in the collection
of data
often requires expensive equipment (e.g. data loggers /
Global Positioning Systems)
may require specific software to actually make use of the
data collected using data loggers etc.
data from the internet may have some bias (need to
consider reliability)

Give 4 advantages of using ICT in the presentation and
analysis of data
provides the ability to process, search and query data
using GIS
can save time - some graphical techniques and statistical
tests are time consuming by hand (time saved can be
spent on interpreting findings)
wide variety of different graphs can be produced quickly
base maps can be produced quickly
St Ivo School Geography Department - GCSE REVISION
Give 4 disadvantages of using ICT in the presentation
and analysis of data
may require particular computer programmes (may
be expensive)
need to ensure type of graph chosen is appropriate
for data being presented
accuracy of graphs produced will only be as
accurate as the raw data
some inaccuracies may occur during data input
St Ivo School Geography Department - GCSE REVISION
Give 3 advantages of GIS
provides ability to show lots of information on one map
information can be linked together to help identify spatial
patterns / support analysis of data
more and more people have access to GIS - e.g. i-phones etc.
GIS used by many public services to improve services offered
GPS combined with GIS has made travelling between places
easier

Give 3 disadvantages of GIS
May include:
May require expensive software and a computer which
needs keeping updated
Some software is complicated to use / may require
training
if too many layers or data are added to a map it can be
difficult to interpret
GIS produces maps - but skills is still required to interpret
the maps in a geographical context.

How could you improve a geographical enquiry using
GIS?
upload photographs onto Google Earth using place
marks
Measure straight line distances and irregular lines
Locate study areas and access aerial photographs
Link data / graphs collected with specific places in a
GIS system

What steps would you take to download a satellite
image to help with data presentation in a geographical
enquiry?
1. Identify a source for satellite images, e.g. through a google search, or
using a specific programme such as Google Earth.
2. Once located image - right click and save, or print screen image
3. Image can then be pasted within text and given a title. Annotations can
be made using text boxes.
4. A figure number should be given so that it can be made reference to in
text and the source of the image added.

What is meant by the site of a settlement?
What could be included in a description of site?
This refers to the physical characteristics of the place
and the land it is built on.
S H A W L
Slope; Height above sea level; Aspect (way slope
faces); Water Supply; Land (e.g. floodplain)
St Ivo School Geography Department - GCSE REVISION
How could you use the internet to search for a
particular topic area to support a geographical
enquiry?
1. Use a google search, with appropriate key words and where
appropriate the + sign in between to get more focused results
2. Check origin of the information given in the website (to consider
reliability / possible bias)
3. If it is a controversial topic that is being investigated, or involves
specific points of view - look for a number of different views to get
a more balanced overview.
