The project consists of the following activities (total 45% of your final mark): ¢ Five journal entries: o Entry 1: You will begin by making an entry on the course Shared Map. You will also transfer this information into your course journal, for ease of grading. o Entries 2-5: Answer four questions in four separate journal entries. o Each of the above activities accounts for 2 marks, for a total of 10 marks of the Final Project grade. ¢ One Regional Report in essay format (2000 maximum words with figures, tables, and maps integrated throughout the report). This component focuses on one of the six regions discussed in this course that is not the region that you are using for the mapping exercise (e.g., not the region you are living in (perhaps for school), or not your “home” region). Mark as done éI Entry 1: Sense of Place (2 marks) Your first entry will provide you with an opportunity to share your sense of place (pages 4 and 8-9 of your textbook, and Unit 1) about your location. Using the tools provided, you will create a marker and place it on an interactive online map, and use your posting to describe some features and elements of your community. As each student completes this part of the assignment, more markers will appear on the map. Take time to view other markers and learn something about different communities! You will also enter the information into your journal. View Shared Map Part A: Collect Your Posting Information Decide on a city/community that you want to share with others. Because you will be entering information into two areas: Shared Map Form and your journal, we recommend that you first take time to collect all the information required into a word processing document so that you can cut and paste the information directly into the areas. Create a document in a word processing program. Save the document with the title: YourName_GEOG2221_FinalProject. Give your first entry a title, “Sense of Place,” and complete steps 1 through 4 below. Your first entry will provide you with an opportunity to share your sense of place (pages 4 and 8-9 of

your textbook and Unit 1) about your location. The information required for Entry 1 is: 1. House Photo o The average house price in Canada as of December 2021 was $713,000. What can you buy for that price in your community? o Go to the website of a real estate agent who works in the community you are going to share about, and find a house or property listed as close to $713,000 as possible. o Right click the photo and save a copy to your computer. Insert the picture into your response. o Write down the house/property address since you'll be asked for that information when you enter data into a form. o Write down copyright information (source website URL). 2. Typical Geography Photo o Use your own camera to take a picture of the geography that you want to share with others. If you can’t take your own photo, search the internet for a picture that shows the typical geography and also note the source URL to provide the appropriate copyright details. o Download the photo onto your computer. Insert the picture into your response. 3. Write Three things you like about your community (three short sentences). 4. Write One thing you would like to change about your community and why (one short sentence). Once completed, save the document. You will add to this document by answering the questions in Entries 2-5. Part B: Creating a Pin on the Shared Map When you’re ready to create the pin, go to the Shared Map site. You'll find both the map where your selected location data will be displayed and a web form where you will enter your data. Click on the View Map button and look at existing pins to learn about someone’s community and also to see what you will be creating. To get started with making the pin, click the Add Map Location button. Instructions: Watch the video on how to add your location to the map: You can also download a printable set of instructions. Fill in the Shared Map Form. Shared Map Form » To upload the house and geography photos, click BROWSE and select the saved image from your computer. Click SAVE. ¢ Copy and paste text information from your Final Project document into the appropriate form fields. You must enter somethina into all the boxes of this form to create a pin.

So feel free to exercise your drawing talents, or for those of you panicking at the thought of drawing (myself included!), you can be creative when selecting an image. For example, if | was going to identify the continued demographic expansion of Vancouver by immigrants from Asia as a possible future development, | might choose to show: i) a picture of a map with those countries of origin, or perhaps ii) a picture of Chinatown, or perhaps iii) a figure showing how immigration has increased in the last 20 years or so, a trend that could be projected into the future. When you have completed this entry, save the file, but do not send it to the Open Learning Faculty Member. You will add the report to this file before sending it. Mark as done éI Regional Report (40 marks) In this part of the Final Project, you will analyze one region of Canada. Select a region to write about that is not the region that you are using for the mapping exercise (e.g., not the region you are living in (perhaps for school), or not your “home” region). Choose one of the six regions of Canada and write a 2000 word report (approximately 6 written pages, double-spaced), supported by figures, tables, and maps. Make full use of the material in your textbook, but also use the Statistics Canada website or publications available at your local library, newspapers, magazines, books, the internet, the TRU student library service, and other sources to find up-to-date information. Please use a minimum of eight external resources, including peer-reviewed journals. APA Style is required. Include information of the following: Describe the dominant (or top one, two, or three) economic activities in the region. Provide a brief description and overview of the natural features that can be found in your region, along with an assessment of how much they contribute to the region’s economy. Identify the population density, and describe how the population is concentrated or dispersed. Is there evidence that your region is seeing an increase or decrease of people since 2001? Where (in what geographic area) is growth occurring (if it is occurring)? If it is not occurring, where (what geographic area or place) in the region are people leaving? Describe one or two reasons (with references) for this pattern. From the above, identify where you think the core areas are and where you think the periphery areas are. Do you think the region is rapidly growing, slow growing, or diminishing in terms of its economy (as per Friedman’s core/periphery model outlined in Chapter 1)? o What evidence is there for your conclusion? Identify and describe one of Bone’s faultlines that is evident in the region. Is the faultline currently dormant, or is it active (see page 10 of your textbook)? Elaborate on what you think this faultline will look like in 10 years—will it exist? Will it be active and prominent? Why or why not? You are encouraged to include other thoughts. Identify what you think is the greatest one or two challenges facing people of the region in the next 10 years. Each challenge may be economic, social, demographic, or be rooted in natural resource use. Explain why you think each challenge is paramount to the people of the region. Identify two ways that each challenge could be overcome. The report must include an introduction and conclusion. When you have completed your report, send it to the Open Learning Faculty Member for grading.
