The number of visitors to Malham decreases with distance and most of Malham visitors come from areas that are close by.

I am going to prove than the number of visitors to Malham decreases with increasing distance by doing survey in Malham but I will need a pen and paper to do the survey. Once I got the equipment I can get started at Malham  car park or asking people where they have came from and from moving cars that have just arrived to Malham by keeping a sign up but I need to be at least ten yards away and this is the most reliable but this can get annoying for the tourist if too many students doing this and the best way would be is let at least five students doing this survey and then they can record this and give this information out to the other students so we decided to do number plates instead because its more accurate and its less disturbing  to the tourist.

I am also going to do it in another way and that is by looking at the tourist car number plates or take pictures of the car number plates and we should do one hundred car number plates by each student but we should do it in different parking sections such as few student do left side of the parking and few students do right side of the parking and this will get it more accurate because if we don’t do this everyone will get the same car number plates by looking at tourist car number plates tells you where the tourist have came from. We could look at the writing and the small flag near the car plate but you have to get close to see it and this can be really unreliable because other tourist will get and think that we are doing something wrong but you can also tell where the tourist is come from is by looking in the car and the stuff in the car but this is also dodgy so I would prefer the survey method because its more reliable and its less dodgy but I can only do this is there is less student doing this method.

How to prove my hypothesis 2 and how I am going to do it

I am going to prove that the land use in Malham that show the village is a slave to tourism by looking and investigating on Malham village and I am going to look at the buildings n resorts in the village such as

• Bed and breakfast/hotels
• Shops/supermarkets
• Sport club/sport facilities
• Tourist attractions
• Car parks
• Information places
• Transport facilities
• Signposts/roads others
• Others e.g. disabilities, blind

Footpaths to see if they are restored footpaths

I will mark these spots on my Malham map and then decide if these are residential or slave to tourism and then colour code it when I get back to school.
