Create a research plan for a community economic development project, including identifying economic traces, benefits, and community issues.

This document outlines the requirements for your Practical Assessment Task 2. To "solve" this checklist means to understand and complete each subtask as described. Here's a breakdown of what you need to do: Task Description Your overall task is to research economic development in your community, identify community issues, propose solutions, design a questionnaire, and summarize a newspaper article related to development. Subtask 1: Economic development in your community Step 1: Identify two economic development traces in your community. • Think about specific projects, initiatives, or trends that show economic growth or change. For example, new businesses opening, infrastructure improvements, or job creation programs. Provide a brief description for each. Step 2: Outline three possible benefits these developments bring to the community. • Consider how these economic traces positively impact residents, local businesses, or the overall quality of life. Examples include increased employment, improved services, or higher income levels. Subtask 2: Evidence of community issues Step 1: Identify FIVE possible physical, social, or economic issues that need to be addressed in your community. • These could be problems like unemployment, poor infrastructure (e.g., potholes, unreliable electricity), lack of public services, crime, or environmental concerns. List five distinct issues. Step 2: Provide evidence for each issue by attaching an image to your report. • For each of the five issues identified, find or take a relevant image that visually represents the problem. For example, a photo of a pothole for infrastructure, or a picture of a closed business for unemployment. Subtask 3: Identify possible solutions Step 1: For each of the five issues identified in Subtask 2, propose a possible solution. • Think about practical and realistic ways to address each problem. Step 2: Outline ways in which local government and businesses can help speed up improvements for these solutions. • For each solution, explain the specific roles that the local government (e.g., policy changes, funding, service delivery) and local businesses (e.g., investment, job creation, community projects) can play. Subtask 4: Questionnaire Step 1: Design a questionnaire with FIVE questions. • These questions should be relevant to the community issues and solutions you've discussed. They should be questions you would ask your local ward councilor. Step 2: Include the name of your ward councilor in your questionnaire or report. • Ensure you know who your local ward councilor is and mention their name. Subtask 5: Summarise a newspaper article Step 1: Consult your local newspaper (print or online) and find an article related to development issues in your community. • The article should discuss problems or progress concerning development within your specific local area. Step 2: Provide a short summary of the article. • Your summary should capture the main points of the article, including the development issue discussed, any proposed actions, and the overall message. 3 done, 2 left today.
