The Peak District is an area of the South Pennines, England. It is known for its
beauty and recreational use. The Peak District National Park was created in the mid
20th century to maintain the area as a 'green belt' between the cities of Manchester,
Sheffield, Derby, and Stoke. Recreational use and traditional industries like sheep
farming, quarrying, and mining may conflict.
If you are interested in these conflicts and in the uses and importance of the area
then you will want to focus a question towards your own interests in social change,
social theory, lives of individual people, social policy and planning, environmental
causes and 'rights' issues, or other issues. You will read about the area and its
people. You will think about the kinds of data that may be available. Here are some
potential draft research questions and some issues arising from them - there are
many others.
