Question 1

Coastal Environments Fieldwork

Students investigating human impacts at a coastal resort collected data on perceived conflicts between different beach user groups.

They surveyed 50 local residents and visitors to rate the severity of conflict between different groups on a scale from 0 to 3:

  • 0 = No conflict
  • 1 = Low conflict
  • 2 = Medium conflict
  • 3 = High conflict

The mean conflict scores calculated from the fieldwork are shown in the data table below:

Table 1: Mean Conflict Scores Between User Groups

User Group PairMean Conflict Score
Jet Skiers vs. Swimmers3 (High)
Surfers vs. Swimmers1 (Low)
Anglers vs. Jet Skiers2 (Medium)
Walkers vs. Jet Skiers2 (Medium)
Walkers vs. Surfers0 (No conflict)
Anglers vs. Swimmers1 (Low)

Draw a labelled, completed conflict matrix diagram to present the fieldwork results shown in Table 1.
