Cheating

Cheating is any attempt to gain unfair advantage by dishonest means and includes plagiarism and collusion. Cheating is a serious offence. You are advised to check the nature of each assessment. You must work individually unless it is a group assessment.

Cheating is defined as any attempt by a candidate to gain unfair advantage in an assessment by dishonest means, and includes e.g. all breaches of examination room rules, impersonating another candidate, falsifying data, and obtaining an examination paper in advance of its authorised release.

Plagiarism is defined as incorporating a significant amount of un-attributed direct quotation from, or un-attributed substantial paraphrasing of, the work of another.

Collusion occurs when two or more students collaborate to produce a piece of work to be submitted

(in whole or part) for assessment and the work is presented as the work of one student alone.

Urban and Rural Regeneration

The Coursework Scenario for the 2024/2025 Academic Session

You must research with local estate agents ( Alternatively fleurets.com) to find two licensed premises (public houses) for sale or auction. One should be located in an urban environment and the other in a rural community.

The Task

Note: The coursework task consists of three parts

Part 1: Please research and discuss the factors that may have led to the closure of the public houses in your case study. If you cannot find the specific reasons, research statistical information about the general reasons why public houses are closing at a high rate. (20% weighting) (LO1)

Part 2: Please consider and propose alternative, logical, and economically viable uses for the two public houses. Evaluate whether these proposals would work well in the location and justify their suitability. It is essential to suggest/ discuss and consider more than one alternative use before justifying your final choice. (40% weighting) (LO1, LO3)

Part 3: Describe the social and economic benefits the repurposed buildings will bring to their location and how they will assist in the local regeneration. Consider both the positive and negative impacts on the local community in the short and medium term and how they fit into the urban and rural context.”. (20% weighting) (LO1, LO3)

All three parts of the Task must also be completed to pass the coursework.

Context

Urban Regeneration

Some urban areas are targeted for regeneration due to challenges such as deindustrialisation, dereliction, economic decline, and mass deprivation. These issues are typical in modern urban environments.

Rural Regeneration.

Rural or non-urban areas often require regeneration due to economic decline, outward migration (usually to cities), and deindustrialisation. Some rural areas lack opportunities for young people, leading to social isolation among minority groups and physical isolation due to unreliable public transport and services.
