ASSIGNMENT

QUESTION Task: Write a report of 2000 words answering the 2-part question in the box below.

Question:

The local council has decided to build a new urban park. You have been asked to analyse the various impacts of an urban park.

Use this analysis to recommend ways of maximising the benefits and minimising the challenges of the urban park

Studying a degree related to Tourism and Events Management the main perspective should be: The Impacts on the Tourism, Hospitality and Events Industries.

These might include:

• opportunities for holding events in the park

• logistical challenges of holding events in the park.

• development of permanent hospitality facilities (such as the park café)

You will also need to analyse two other perspectives (approximately 300 words on each).

1) The impacts from an environmental perspective These might include:

• pollution (e.g air, noise, water)

• sustainability (e.g education, biodiversity)

2) The impacts from a social perspective These might include:

• community development (e.g. social cohesion, morale)

• gentrification (changes in social and demographic factors)

Executive Summary (not included in the word count)

• Summary of each section of the report

Contents Page

• Main section headings with page numbers

Introduction (suggested: 300 words)

• Definition of urban park

• A discussion (with examples) of the benefits and general challenges associated with urban parks.

• A sentence summarising the main aims of the report

Analysis (suggested: 1250 words, 3 perspectives)

• Short introductory paragraph including a statement with the aim of the report and a map sentence.

• Identification of the 3 distinct perspectives. These perspectives should be the sub-sections of the analysis and the topics of the main body paragraphs.

• Each body paragraph should include a topic sentence which links it to the question.

• In order to analyse each perspective, research from relevant sources should be used to support the impacts of building and urban park.

• NOTE: The part of your analysis covering your main perspective should be more comprehensive than the other points you consider. It is suggested that this should make up at least half of the analysis section (i.e. 600 words).

Conclusion (suggested: 150 words)

• Summary of the Analysis section

Recommendations (suggested: 300 words)

• Introductory statement

• Three recommendations that are related to the perspectives considered in the Analysis section.

• Each recommendation must suggest how the council can either maximise the benefits or minimise the challenges of building an urban park identified in your analysis.

• These recommendations should be presented as bullet points and be supported by research.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

• Knowledge and understanding of relevant research relating to issues related to the case studies as well as analysing and understanding the implications of these issues.

• Ability to independently manage learning resources, demonstrate command of Harvard referencing, structure a report according to academic conventions and express ideas accurately while maintaining academic style.
