Grade 8: Settlement project. Key Questions: Why people live where they do? How is the land use of the area? What is/are the main social/environmental issue(s) in the area?

Here's an explanation of the first step and the key questions for your Grade 8 Settlement Investigation Project:

A. Step 1: Choose a settlement

• You need to select a specific settlement for your project.
• The settlement must be located within Pretoria.
• Avoid choosing a settlement that is too large.
• Your chosen settlement can be a conurbation (like Pretoria city itself), a town, a village, a suburb, or a farm. It can be either an urban or a rural settlement.

Key Questions for your project:

• Why do people live where they do in your chosen settlement?
• How is the land used in the area of your chosen settlement?
• What are the main social and/or environmental issue(s) present in your chosen settlement's area?
