    GEOGRAPHY (GI) PRACTICE

    Structured Essay Question (25 marks)


    Answer all parts of the essay question below in complete sentences unless otherwise stated.

    A group of students carried out fieldwork to learn more about tourism in South Korea. They
    decided to test the following hypothesis:

    Hypothesis: Tourists who visit for film-induced tourism tend to spend more money for their
    holiday.

    To investigate the Hypothesis: Tourists who visit for film-induced tourism tend to spend more
    money for their holiday, the students decided to conduct a short survey with tourists at some of
    the filming sites for ‘Crash Landing On You’.

    1 (a) Design two close-ended questions that students must include in their survey. State one
    advantage of close-ended questions. [5]

    (b) As part of their investigation, the students decided to visit one of the film sets in Taean,
    which is a 3-hour journey from Seoul. They wanted to go to the military village that was
    specially built for the film, in order to conduct their survey with the tourists there.

    Describe the considerations they should make before conducting the survey in Taean. [3]

    (c) The students found a line graph titled “Total tourism receipts in South Korea from 2010
    to 2019 (in billion U.S. dollars)”.

    Identify a secondary source of data where they could have obtained this line graph.
    Suggest why primary data collection methods would be more useful for this investigation. [2]

    1
    (d) The students surveyed 50 tourists and collated their data into Table 1, as shown below.

    Average amount
    Purpose of visiting South No. of
    spent per day of trip

    Film-induced tourism 450 23


    Shopping 760 15
    Cultural 420 14
    Scenic beauty 350 20
    Visiting friends/relatives 310 2

    Table 1

    (i) Complete Fig. 1 (Insert), which is a bar graph that the students have used to
    present their data to address the Hypothesis: Tourists who visit for film-induced
    tourism tend to spend more money for their holiday. [3]

    (ii) State the conclusion that the students can make regarding Hypothesis: Tourists
    who visit for film-induced tourism tend to spend more money for their holiday. Use
    evidence from Fig. 1 to support your answer. [2]

    (iii Explain why the data collected in Table 1 may not be reliable and suggest one way
    ) to improve its reliability. [2]

    (e) Another group of students wanted to study if Seoul is a “tourist-friendly” city. Their
    teacher suggested that they walk along various streets in Seoul to conduct their
    investigation and they agreed to do so by making relevant observations.

    Besides conducting a questionnaire survey, outline how the students may carry out the
    investigation. [6]

    (f) As an extension to their investigation, the students thought that the country of origin
    might affect how tourist-friendly Seoul is perceived to be. Identify and describe the type
    of map that they can use to present their findings. [2]
