Changes Whiteley Shopping Centre was completed in May 2013 at a cost of 84 Whiteley Shopping Centre was built of a brownfield site which used to have be an outlet centre Whitelely Shopping Centre employs 1,000 people Whiteley Shopping Centre has 50 shops and restaurants 11 independent (Solent cycles, Sweets and Treats), 30 UK owned chains and MNCs (M&S, Body Shop), 8 foreign owned MNCs (H&M) Effects on Fareham High Street 1. Shops used to be busy but are going out of business 2. Less customers are using Fareham High Street as people visit Whiteley Shopping Centre 3. People are losing their jobs as shops shut due to less customers 4. Empty shops are being used by charity shops which lowers the appearance of an area and reduces the taxes collected. Location factors Access Junction 9 of the M27, easy by car (Raw material)- Market large customer base - 30 minutes from Southampton and Portsmouth Labour large labour force for the 1,000 vacancies Environment large, flat land with lots of room for car parking and development (Government)
Location factors Access- good road, rail and air transport links Raw materials- 15% of the energy used is from renewable resources (France use lots of nuclear and wind energy) Market- 68million people are no more than a 4 hour drive and 300 million within a 2 hour flight Labour- Lots of local workers living in and around Paris Environment- flat land which is easy to build on Government- US$1bn incentives given from the French government Social impacts Advantages 15,000 people employed by Disney (75% are French) Disadvantages Some feel that Disneyland in Paris has encouraged France to lead an unhealthy American type of consumerism Loss of cultural identify Economic impacts Advantages 15.8 million visitors since 2008 50 billion added to the French economy Disadvantages Loss of farmland and income for farmers Environmental impact Advantages 39% of waste in the park is recycled 15% of energy comes from renewable sources Disadvantages Increased flights, trains and motor vehicles to Disneyland Paris has led to environmental damage due to greater fuel emissions
Rural urban migration in China China s urban population is on the up 1990 = 26% 2006 = 44% (550+ million people) This change is called urbanisation and means when people move from the rural areas to the urban areas. People move for many reasons and these are called push factors and pull factors. PUSH FACTORS 1. Fewer jobs - more machinery has made farming more efficient and require fewer workers. 150 million rural unemployed in 2004 2. Lower wages and higher poverty Lower wages in rural areas. 26.1 million living in poverty in rural China in 2004 3. Shortage of services education, healthcare are funded by taxes. Poor rural areas have less money to improve services. 1.1 million children did not go to Primary school in 2002. PULL FACTORS 1. More jobs More industries and jobs in urban areas 2. Higher wages and lower poverty average income is 3 times higher than in the rural areas. 3. Better services more (and better) services because there is the money to find them. IMPACTS OF URBANISATION Positive More workers and an increase in the demand for services in the urban areas helps to increase trade and industry. This boosts the economy. Negative The increasing population causes more pollution and environmental damage. Over 270 cities in China have no water treatment plants so sewage is dumped straight into local rivers. Positive About 130 million people who have migrated send money home to their families. This increases the income and helps them avoid poverty. Negative It is usually young people who migrate, leaving an ageing population in the rural areas. About half of all Chinese people over 60 and live without any younger relatives to help look after them. MANAGEMENT -In 2001, China changed its urban water supply system to cope with the increased sewage and pollution. This has helped improve quality and supply. - In 2009, a pilot pension scheme was set up to give retired farmers a monthly pension. This will help raise income and reduce rural poverty
