For AQA GCSE Geography, you must complete at least one fieldwork investigation in a human geography environment. Common topics include studies of urban areas, retail patterns, quality of life, and the impact of regeneration or tourism. This lesson provides detailed guidance on planning and conducting a human geography fieldwork investigation, with a focus on the most popular choice — an urban environmental quality study.
