Omg, to think I almost studied urban planning at uni!

Urban planning is important to understand because it helps us prepare for future population growth. By understanding how people and cities function we can implement strategies to solve problems and keep the city functioning as efficiently as possible.
Hopefully that answers your question

the bigger it is the more productivity>?

Yeah I would agree with this. For example, the Great Barrier Reef is massive and highly productive where as Stangers Creek is tiny and pretty unproductive.

Ok thanks heaps for that!!
Just need help on part of my assessment, where I need to give examples of 3 applicable jobs in the rainforest management industry... Any ideas out there?? I also need to describe one of these in detail but I just don't know any jobs for this so some help would be awesome!

Thanks heaps...

For which ecosystem? The method of killing COTS for the Great Barrier Reef has definitely changed but it looks like you are looking at a rainforest?

Stuck on q1, 4 and 6 from the 2001 HSC exam. Pretty sure I know the methods but can't seem to get the answers. Any ideas?

Q1.
1cm = 10 companies.
1987 = 49 out of 66 NZ Owned = 74%
1997 = 39 out of 92 NZ Owned = 42%
74-42
= 32% --> C
Tip: I had attempted to calculate percentage change for just NZ Owned companies (ie, how many more NZ owned companies were there in 97 than 87, but the Question actually asks for the change in the percentage of NZ Owned Companies from 87 to 97 in comparison to TNCs.

Q4.
Area of Queenstown = 4 x 3 (Approx) = 12 cm squared.
1cm2 = 25000
Therefore 12 x 25000 = 300000 --> B

Q6.
Distance by Road = 12cm = 12 km using scale of 1:100000
At 40km/h, 12/40 = 0.3 hrs
0.3 x 60 = 18 minutes --> C
