All Flashcards
Compare quantitative and qualitative data.
Quantitative data is numerical and measurable; qualitative data is descriptive and experiential. Quantitative data identifies trends; qualitative data explains why.
Compare the United States Census and the Canadian Census.
US Census is every 10 years; Canadian Census is every 5 years. Both collect demographic and housing data but may differ in specific questions.
Compare field studies and census data collection.
Field studies are small-scale, in-person data collection; census is large-scale, population-wide data collection. Field studies provide context; census provides statistics.
Compare the impacts of urbanization on rural vs. urban communities.
Rural: loss of agricultural land, cultural changes. Urban: increased density, infrastructure strain. Both: potential economic shifts.
Compare the effects of residential segregation vs. integration.
Segregation: unequal access, social isolation. Integration: diverse communities, equitable opportunities, cultural exchange.
Compare the use of maps in quantitative vs. qualitative data analysis.
Quantitative: maps show distribution and density. Qualitative: maps show patterns and relationships. Both: visualize spatial data.
Compare the goals of urban planning in developed vs. developing countries.
Developed: sustainability, quality of life. Developing: basic infrastructure, poverty reduction. Both: managing urban growth.
Compare the challenges of data collection in urban vs. rural areas.
Urban: high population density, privacy concerns. Rural: accessibility, limited resources. Both: ensuring data accuracy.
Compare the impacts of gentrification on long-term residents vs. new residents.
Long-term: displacement, loss of community. New: improved amenities, increased property values. Both: changing neighborhood dynamics.
Compare the use of surveys vs. interviews in urban research.
Surveys: collect quantitative data from large samples. Interviews: collect qualitative data with in-depth insights. Both: gather information from residents.
What are the causes and effects of residential segregation?
Causes: housing discrimination, economic inequality, personal preferences. Effects: unequal access to resources, limited opportunities, social isolation.
What are the causes and effects of urbanization?
Causes: economic opportunities, migration, population growth. Effects: increased population density, environmental degradation, social changes.
What are the causes and effects of a new transportation system?
Causes: increased mobility, economic development, reduced congestion. Effects: increased property values, displacement, environmental impacts.
What are the causes and effects of natural disasters on communities?
Causes: hurricanes, earthquakes, floods. Effects: displacement, infrastructure damage, economic losses, social disruption.
What are the causes and effects of a new development project?
Causes: economic growth, investment, urban renewal. Effects: gentrification, displacement, increased property values, infrastructure improvements.
What are the causes and effects of gentrification?
Causes: investment in urban areas, increased demand for housing, changing demographics. Effects: displacement of low-income residents, increased property values, cultural changes.
What are the causes and effects of urban sprawl?
Causes: population growth, car dependency, affordable housing. Effects: increased traffic, environmental degradation, loss of farmland, social isolation.
What are the causes and effects of economic inequality in urban areas?
Causes: lack of access to education, job opportunities, discrimination. Effects: poverty, crime, social unrest, health disparities.
What are the causes and effects of climate change on urban areas?
Causes: greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, industrialization. Effects: sea-level rise, extreme weather events, heat waves, water scarcity.
What are the causes and effects of social isolation in urban areas?
Causes: lack of social connections, mobility limitations, poverty. Effects: mental health issues, reduced community engagement, increased crime.
