Q2. Contrast the percentages of different land uses along the route AB
and CDAB More commercial, industrial & residential Less agricultural, abandoned landCD More abandoned land (near Kong Tai Road) More agricultural (near foot path) Less commercial, industrial & residential
Q3. Explanation of Q2 ACCESSIBILITYAB (Kam Sheung Road ~~~ secondary road) High accessibility (more branches, more bus
stops) Road is wider ~ favour the lorries more in
dustrial upper middle class ~ more car ownerships
more high class residential (counter-urbanization)
Q3. Explanation of Q2 CD (Kong Tai Road) Low accessibility (road is narrow) <near Kong Tai Road>…more
abandoned land as relatively high accessibility
<far away from the Kong Tai Road>…near foot path more agricultural (green house)
Q4/5. Problems that the farmers may face & the solutions
Problems Solutions1. Urban Encroachment
Evidence : industrial & residential
2. Anticipation of urban encroachmentEvidence : Abandoned Land (less production & invest)
Open Storage (eg.Car park)Illegal short-term list
3. Polluted water source polluted irrigation waterEvidence : Construction site (eg.WestRail)
Supervision from the department
4. Shortage of labour& Aged population<rural-depopulation>
Small scale of mechanization(Eg. Sprinklers)
5. Competition(imported from China which is low land value& wages)
Market gardeningQuality control (fresh!!!)High value product (western specie)
6. Monsoon Drought +flooding(winter) (summer)
Flood controlGreen house
7. Lack of government support(e.g.sewage chargeImbalance policy)
