HYPOTHESES
- Skipton will fit the Burgess model (Concentric Rings).
- Skipton will fit Hoyt’s model (sector model).
METHOD
We were all given a map of a 1//5 of Skipton; we had to go around our designated area collecting land use information using the following categories.
S - Shops / Offices
I - Industry
L - Low Classed Housing (Terraced)
M - Middle Class Housing
H - High Class Housing
O - Open Space
INTERPRETATION
Hypotheses 1 - Skipton will fit the Burgess Model.(Concentric Ring)
This hypotheses proved to be wrong as the land use does not fit the concentric ring pattern.
Hypotheses 2 – Skipton will fit Hoyt’s Model (sector model)
This hypothesis is true as the land use is in sectors. You have a sector with open space an area with high-class housing and then an area with low class housing and etc.
CONCLUSION
The first hypotheses was wrong, as the land use did not fit the concentric ring model.
The second hypotheses was proved correct as the land use was organised in sectors.
CRITIQUE
I think that this is the only result that I can get for this investigation, as the results won’t change regularly.
