Proving that Keswick is a Honey Pot Site
Specific Hypotheses:
To test the general aim to prove that Keswick is a honey pot site, we will investigate 3 specific hypotheses:
1. Keswick town centre caters mainly for its tourists in its land use.
2. Keswick demonstrates some of the key problems associated with honeypot sites.
3. Keswick attracts a high proportion of non-local visitors.
What is a honeypot site?
A honeypot site is a site where there is attractive scenery or historical interest, and tourists visit in large numbers. Honeypot sites are areas which attract many tourists. They are so called because tourists flock to these places like 'bees around honey'.

In the UK alone, 10% of total employment is in the tourism sector.
People who have employment within the UK usually earn a high salary compared to the rest of the world and people consider that they must strike a work/life balance and hence spend more time on holidays.
The UK has seen a greater increase in car ownership since the 1950’s when in 1951 only 1 in 20 families’s had a car, by 1996 this figure had risen to 71% of all UK families owned at least 1 vehicle and by 2005 this figure has risen with many families owning 2 vehicles. The increase in car ownership obviously goes hand in hand with an improvement in the transport system of the UK which since the 1950’s has seen improvements in roads especially motorways and urban by-passes have resulted in driving times between places reduced and encourage people to travel more frequently and greater distances. Keswick has excellent an excellent road system and is easy to reach being just 20 minutes along the A66 trunk road from junction 40 of the M6 motorway.
As mentioned above a major factor for the increase in tourism in the Keswick area has been a change in lifestyle compared to the 1950’s, people are retiring early and living longer and are able to take advantage of their greater fitness, also many people due to retiring early and greater disposable income
According to Foner, “By 1960, 80 percent of American families owned at least one car, and 14 percent had two or more, nearly all manufactured in the United States”(). Many families owned automobiles, for it enabled long-distance vacationing and commuting to work, malls, etc. The ability for people to travel farther distances through means other than trains and trolleys stimulated a population shift from cities to suburbs. Approximately one third of Southern California, a mainly suburban area, was “paved over with roads and parking lots,” hence showing a transformation in American landscape. Infrastructure had to accommodate for cars as they became central to American life. Not only did the automobile alter the American landscape with a web of roads and freeways, but it also led to “the construction of motels, drive-in movie theaters, and roadside eating establishments”(). The automobile revolutionized America, as it allowed for individual mobility and private choice-a symbol of
As the number of automobiles increased so did the number of road trips that people were
Threats of substitutes: In U.S., an automobile was considered as necessity so for every adult there was car on roads. Even for inter-city travel more than 70% time cars were used. Buses, trains and other means didn’t have much impact. The growing array of higher priced imported models had negative effect.
Furthermore, it is noted that the low-income people often struggle with buying healthy food products as per the dietary requirements. The majority of Australians representing 69% of the total in New South Wales for the year 2003 were found to drive a car instead of using public transport that involves physical activities (Australian Government, 2009). The government has thus worked in order to promote the use of public vehicles rather than personal vehicles.
States and much of the world. Owning a vehicle is almost a necessity in modern society.
The article, “Automakers Prepare for an America That’s Over the Whole Car Thing,” by Neal E. Boudette, was published on December 22, 2016 in The New York Times. Boudette informs the reader about how “novel” technologies are creating new alternative ways for people, particularly in urban settings, that commutes to different places. Young Americans consider owning a car unnecessary, or a necessary expense. Carmakers are looking at a future where cars will play a little role, or no role at all, in many people’s daily routines. Thus, many industries are in the process of
In the 1950’s, “the standard consumer package” consisted of a home, television set, and car. Eighty percent of American families possessed at least one car, and fourteen percent had two or more. Almost all of the cars sold were mass-produced in the United States. To stimulate further purchases the cars were fabricated to go out of style within a year or two. The highest ranks of corporate America were oil companies and auto manufactures. Detroit was recognized for its vast auto factories. The automobile industry guaranteed the region’s affluence because of its necessity for rubber, steel, and other products. The car and interstate highway system made it possible for Americans to travel long distances. The interstate highway system stimulated
The United States became the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles, and Henry Ford's goal of 30 years earlier that any man with a good job should be able to afford an automobile was achieved. A new generation of service businesses focusing on customers with their automobiles sprang up during the decade, including drive-through or drive-in restaurants and more drive-in theaters (cinemas). The decade began with 25 million registered automobiles on the road, most of which predated World War II and were in poor condition; no automobiles or parts were produced during the war owing to rationing and restrictions. By 1950, most factories had made the transition to a consumer-based economy, and more than 8 million cars were produced that year alone. By 1958, there were more than 67 million cars registered in the United States, more than twice the number at the start of the decade.
The focus of the flooding during Storm Desmond was in northern England, particularly Cumbria, causing large scale flooding to an area witnessing similar scenes in 2005 and 2009. The flood defence wall in Keswick, constructed following the 2009 flooding, was overtopped on the 5th (Plate 4), inundating business properties20 and 730 residential.
The automobile industry has brought the United States economic growth due to the impact that automobiles have made on society. There has been a plethora of jobs associated with the auto industry, including manufacturing, auto repairs, insurance, and the development of roads, sales, and auto parts to enhance vehicles. Cars, trucks, and SUVs’ have become a way of life for people and have made an additional economic impact by becoming the primary means of transportation for consumers to commute to and from work, vacations, and travel between destinations. Most family households live on a budget and they must make the decision of how much of their budget they can allocate to transportation costs.
The range of the Regent Honeyeater extends from south-east Queensland(Brisbane) to central Victoria(Melbourne) Australia. They mostly occupy dry Box-Ironbark eucalypt woodland and dry sclerophyll forest associations in areas of low to moderate relief, wherein the prefer moister, more fertile sites. They usually nest in the canopy of forests or woodlands, and in the crowns of tall trees, mostly eucalypts. The
Their research finds that in 1820, only a small, exclusive amount of people lived comfortably while the majority lived in conditions similar to extreme poverty–or on less than $1
In this ever changing world of global data communication, inexpensive Internet connection and fast paced software development, security has become more and more of an issue. Security is one of the basic requirements in today's world as any type of interaction and storage of data on the internet is becoming unassertive. Protecting the information access and data integrity are the basic security characteristics of computer security. A decoy based technology, Honey pot along with a Raspberry Pi makes network security cost effective and easy to implement. This paper is devoted to implement a Raspberry Pi based Honey pot in a network that will attract attackers by simulating vulnerabilities and poor security. Honey
The next aspect that we are going to analyse is the income elasticity of demand for BMW’s cars (fig2). From economic theory we know that as income increases, demand for luxurious goods will increase more than proportionately. This
The demand conditions in South Korea have been unparalleled in other countries in recent history. In 1963, the per capita Gross National Product (GNP) was $100. This has grown to $20,000 per capita and South Korea is now the seventh largest trading partner with the United States (Background Note: South Korea, 2008). This growth in GNP is staggering considering that it took the United States 130 years to grow its Gross Domestic Product ten fold (1870-200) (Barro, 2003). Barro (2003) notes that this growth is “fairly” evenly distributed. This distribution of income has remained relatively unchanged from 1960 to today (Barro, 2003). Life expectancy and infant mortality indicators have also significantly changed. Life expectancy has increased from 54 years to 73 years and infant mortality has dropped from 8% to 0.8% since 1960 (Barro, 2003). This rapid growth and increase in personal income has led to a significant growth in internal demand for automobiles. According to a study conducted by AC Nielson, who developed an Aspiration Index (AI) to measure current ownership levels and future intentions to buy, over 60% of those surveyed indicated an intention to buy. This is compared to the same index in the United States of less than 30% (Consumers in Asia Pacific – Car Ownership and Our Purchase
