IB Geography SL Internal Assessment Example

The investigation question is clearly geographical, manageable, and directly linked to sustainable tourism theory.

The location is precise and feasible for primary data collection, with five named sites in Luxembourg City’s CBD.

The maps provide strong spatial context and include conventions such as a key, north arrow, and scale bar.

The hypothesis could be made more explicitly testable by linking it to measurable indicators rather than a general prediction.

The geographic context would be slightly stronger with a clearer explanation of why these particular sites were selected over nearby alternatives.

The methods are comprehensively described and clearly aligned to the comparative sustainable-tourism enquiry.

The same techniques are applied systematically across all five sites, improving comparability.

Control of time and duration in the pedestrian and traffic counts strengthens consistency across the investigation.

The reliability of the subjective survey data is limited by consensus scoring and the absence of independent ratings or stronger triangulation.

The land-use method relies on estimates, which reduces precision unless the estimation process is explained in more detail.
