- Define the following terms and include an example of each and explain how your example relates the word:
- Aesthetics: The way a place or area looks, whether or not it is pleasing to the eye. If an area is aesthetically pleasing, it tends to have been carefully, and neatly, planned out. An example of a place like this is Canberra.
- Safety
- The risk or danger of injury in a certain area. This concept covers the sturdiness of the building around the infrastructure etc. or any construction being undergone in an area.
- Slums
- A run-down area of a city characterized by substandard housing and squalor and lacking in tenure security.
- Decay
- Urban Decay is a process in which an area of a city/town falls into a state of disrepair.
- Reconstruction and renewal
- After 'Urban Decay' has taken place, then Rescontruction and Renewal may be necessary. This is the process of rebuilding any structures or infrastructure that may be unfit for their original or required purpose.
- Transport
- Transport in urban areas can pose several issues. Several forms of pollution are existant in areas of high transport density such as, environmental and sound (light). The value of an area can also be judged on its access to public transport like trains and buses, but being too close to these utilities can be a negative.
- Suburbanization
- The modern urban trends are that people migrate from the bigger cities to live a simpler, smaller life. This then results in country areas being "suburbanised". This is the process of less populated areas being 'upgraded' so that they can support large quantities of people.
- Environmental factors
- The environmental factors of an area is the 'environmental footprint' an area has. The amount of pollution and resources an area produces/uses are the environmental factors.
- Light and sound
- Some densly populated areas need large amounts of light, and because they are densly populated, sound is generated. These two factors can greatly affect the value of an area.

7.8 Dune Revegation Questions
1. Stuarts point in coastal mid-north NSW
2. 1893 (the Stuarts Point spit separates the river from the sea) May 1965 (seedlings were introduced to the area to restabilise the area) August 1965 (grazing cattle ate the seedlings and prevented restablilisation) 1970 (the government introduces one of the country's largest revegation project) Now (the dunes have been successfully restabilised)
3. The community put up fences and signs to stop people, and cattle, from destroying ot delaying the revegation process
4. Tourism and Fishing Industries make this area a valuable aspect to the local community
5. The gradual introduction of stronger and more stabilising plants in the essential parts make the revegation process so successful.
6. The roots move down into the dune, holding the sand in place meaning the wind cannot move the sand dune anymore
7. The cattle grazing stopped the initial seedling plantations as the cows then ate the seedlings before they were big enough to stabilise.
8. Fences put up would have stopped cattle getting at the seedlings but the lack of vegetation could mean the movement of the dunes due to wind and water etc.
9. The local community, Australian and NSW governments and tourists.
10. Assess, Evaluate, Tractors were used to create the foredune, essential for the regeneration, planting trees was the next stage.
