RAP: Research Action Plan
The Process:
What is the issue?
What questions?
HYPOTHESIS
METHODOLOGY
(Primary & Secondary)
Analysis (including graphing/mapping/written)
Issue: Urban growth and decline
Hypothesis: The globalisation of economic activity has affected change in the nature and pattern of work in Pyrmont
Factors causing change in communities: 2 Factors
Changing nature and pattern of work: Deindustrialisation has led to blue collar workers being replaced by white collar office workers.
Globalisation of economic activity:
Due to the emergence of a global economy TNC headquarters are found in Sydney’s CBD and there has been a corresponding increase in employment in the tertiary sector (services).
Justification for choosing the 2 factors:
Changing nature and pattern of work: more white collar workers are choosing to live in Pyrmont because of its closeness to the CBD
Globalisation of economic activity: The rise in tertiary (service) sector employment has led to an increase of service workers moving into Pyrmont. This has led to a decline in blue collar workers living in Pyrmont.
Hypothesis:
The globalisation of economic activity has affected change in the nature and pattern of work in Pyrmont
OR
The globalisation of economic activity and changing nature and pattern of work have contributed to changes in Pyrmont’s community
Location:
On the southern side of Sydney harbour in the inner western suburbs. Latitude 34 degrees S and longitude 151 degrees E
Primary research techniques:
Landuse survey: To reveal changing landuse
Fieldsketch: To show the current situation
Closed survey: with workers at lunch time: to gain perspectives on change in Pyrmont
Interview with a person from Sydney City Council: to reveal what future plans they have.
Take your own photos: to visualise the change
Secondary research techniques:
ABS statistics: to reveal demographic change(population size and composition)
