Explain the concept of Central Places as an explanation for the distribution of towns and villages in Trinidad. 7. Identify favourable contributing factors and predict how a village may progress through development stages to become a major city. 8. Evaluate the need for support services and how these may change as the population in towns and villages undergoes change and development. Content: Module 1 is based on the physical environment. It explains how the earth is shaped through tectonic and denudative forces and explores measures taken to mitigate against natural hazards in the Caribbean. This is followed by an understanding of the need for Small Island Developing States, such as Caribbean countries, to guard against the effects of pollution and practise conservation of their resources including water, soils and natural vegetation. Module 2 is based on the built-up environment. The Central Place Theory is used to explain the development of towns and villages in Trinidad or Tobago. The specific changes in the larger growth centres in Trinidad are tracked over the last twenty years examining factors that have contributed to their development including population growth, migration, accessibility, communication and transport. Recurring Concepts: Landform, location, site, situation, diffusion, density, relief, natural resources, urbanisation, accessibility, communication, transportation, population growth, change, inertia, migration, range of a good, community, village, hamlet, conurbation, city, metropolis, megalopolis, necropolis, aerial differentiation, spatial differentiation ASSESSMENT Two written assignments of equal weighting on each module. – (100%)
