Environmental Analysis
There are many problems and benefits of tourism when it comes to the environment.
Referring to Figure 3, it is clear the Cross Street is the most congested street in which researched. Out of the 34 modes of transport recorded that day, 20/34 were counted on Cross Street, which is a massive 58.82%, in comparison to the minute 8.82% of transport that was recorded on Back Street, showing it was of little interest of tourists as a place to visit. 32.35% of transport was recorded to be at Weaving Avenue. This suggests that the air pollution within Castleton is more in the main streets than elsewhere, moreover putting forward the idea that tourists visit Castleton more for the local village shops than the long, winding lanes. The noise pollution within the main areas of Castleton may also now be put down to tourists travelling through the village in vehicles, most likely large to carry their luggage for their excursion (they will therefore be noisy due to their inescapable vastness of size). Figure 3 also suggests that there is a high possibility for high emissions within sections of Castleton, and as Castleton becomes more adapted to meet the needs of tourists, the emissions will begin to climb due the popularity increasing.
If you look at Figure 4, it is easy to come to the conclusion that car parks are busier during the lunch period than later on, this also then suggests that car parks are busier in general during any eating period than any other time. This may cause conflict between the residents and tourists, for instance, if a resident and their family wish to go out for a meal at the peak time that car parks are used, they may not be able to due to the tourists taking all the available spaces.
When looking at Figure 9 we can see how far people travelled from to get to Castleton. With the furthest person travelling from as far as Kent, this suggests to us that although Castleton may be a very popular place with tourists, the Earth is being affected badly due to excess carbon emissions. The closest person/ people who travelled to Castleton was from the West Midlands.
However there is one major benefit of tourism: society is looking after National Parks, they are kept well preserved to try and meet the aims of the National Park Authority. There are many farmed landscapes, making the soil more fertile and porous, the countryside also being accessible to many. Tourism also helps Castleton show off it's beautiful personality to those who can't appreciate it everyday, National Parks to an extent show people the pride of Britain in all it's glory, the real Britain.
