AL ENQUIRY) 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.

minutes and seconds).
