Tourism's impact on the Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Spit Area
Hypothesis
The hypothesis that my group have chosen to investigate is:
"Tourism has impacted along the Hengistbury
Head and Mudeford Spit area. This has resulted
In more coastal problems."
Throughout this piece of coursework, I will gather information from
sources to either agree, or disagree with my chosen hypothesis.
These are the areas that I will be investigating:
· Tourist Facilities
· Reasons why tourist facilities are needed
· The coastal defences
· Damage done to the coast - natural and human
· Effects damage has done to the landscape
· Cost Vs Revenue
I am also going to be expanding this hypothesis by also investigating
the impact that tourism has done to the Highcliff high street and
Highcliff beach area.

For this piece of coursework, need to gather information to either
agree or disagree with my chosen hypothesis.
I am going to gather information by going to the Hengistbury Head and
Mudeford Spit area. To collect the information there I'm going to be
using a number of resources. I will be using a camera to take pictures
of the tourist facilities and the costal defences. Also I will do a
number of sketches of the landscape to show the damage done by erosion
and weathering. I am going to do a land use survey of the shops on
Highcliff high street to make a list of the shops that are there.
I will then use the Internet, textbooks and various handouts to
research other general information about the Highcliff and Hengistbury
Head area.
I am also going to be writing and investigating...

... results that
support my hypothesis. For example there were a number of tourist type
shops along the Highcliff high street, selling items such as postcards
and souvenirs, which are all aimed at tourists. The fact that they are
selling these items suggests that they do get a fair amount of
business from tourists. This could also knock on to produce more
costal problems due to the tourists visiting the area.
Overall, if I were to do this investigation once more there would be
very little that I would want to change. As I collected sufficient
data that turned out to be reliable and accurate as it matched other
information that I looked at, including print outs from the Internet
and other peoples research. Which all meant that I had collected
satisfactory to draw up an accurate conclusion from good, reliable
results.

Problems can arise if these facilities are out of keeping with the setting or when local residents feel they are an unnecessary addition to the area. * Overcrowding Overcrowding can occur when the number of people at a particular site or location exceeds the capacity of the place to handle them. This is generally a seasonal problem. * Wear and Tear Visitors can cause physical damage to the coastal area without realising it. Much of the damage is unintentional, such as at Lulworth where the path between the Cove and Durdle Door is eroding due to the volume of visitors using it through the summer months.
