Case Studies for Paper Two (so far!)

Managing Tourism:
Coastal Tourism includes Ayia Napa & Majorcia as examples in an MEDC & Bali in an LEDC. For Mountain Tourism in an LEDC we studied the Himalayas especially the areas around Annapurna & Mt Everest. The textbook examples are Malham (MEDC) & Machu Picchu (LEDC). To understand the sustainable management of tourism the examples of The Maldives & Yosemite (both in the textbook) were studied.
Managing Hazards (only studied Tectonic hazards so far):
Volcanic Hazard case studies are Mt St Helens (MEDC) & Mt Pinatubo (LEDC). Earthquake harzards are Kashmir & Kobe. The videos on the Kashmir earthquake that I found on U Tube are here and here. The whole powerpoint can be downloaded from 4 shared.com by clicking here. Follow the link & then click 'download file here'. Let me know if you have any problems with this. If it works a few times then I can use this to host other files that may be useful for you as we complete the course.
