About this Unit
This unit will explore the relationships between community, the natural environment and government within an urban context. Students will examine means of investigating communities and establishing their needs. They will look at ways that this information can be mapped and translated into a graphic representation, including the use of GIS. Urban Development Systems will explore the principles of sustainability and then look at ways that community needs are provided for within an urban environment while seeking to meet sustainability objectives. The unit will examine infrastructure and service needs to support human settlements as well as government assessment systems and legislation. Students will investigate community power, political systems and how this can influence government to deliver beneficial outcomes.
