EDUCATOR’S GUIDE
- During this stage a geographical statement showing is made to ask the following:
WHAT IS IT?
WHERE IS IT?
HOW OUGHT IT TO BE?
HUMAN IMPACTS …
THE BIG IDEAS OF CAPS (Empirical Analytical Approach)

• The E-Toll system will impact positively on traffic flow to the major urban centres
of Gauteng.
Step 2: Mapping
• The learner must provide a map of the area in question.
• During this stage the learner has to create a buffer zone around the area where the
geographical problem exists.
• The map should have a clear legend/key and must be drawn to scale. The scale must
be indicated on the map.
• If the map used covers a wider area, buffer zones around the area of study should be
created.
• The map used should be the most recent map of the study area.
• Learners need to explain where in South Africa the study area is located. (This can be
indicated on the map)
• Description of the study area in terms of its exact position (degrees, minutes and
seconds).
• Provide relevant information about the area, for example population of the area or
climate of the area.
• Collected data should now be used to formulate a discussion around the existing
geographical problem.
• At this stage learners should represent some of the information graphically where
necessary, for example graphs, sketches etc.
• Graphic information must be analysed during this stage.
• Learners should be encouraged to present their original and realistic opinions as far as
they possibly can.
• Learners should now make a decision to either ACCEPT or REJECT the hypothesis.
Eg The hypothesis is rejected. The evidence gathered points to other sources of pollution
of the vaal river. The research that I conducted indicate that the informal settlement close
to the Vaal river ….

Step 9: Submission
