    1. Industry Revision. Work work work..

    2. Industry Jobs and systems. Primary- extracting raw materials from the land or sea Secondary- when things are manufactured from primary products. Eg. Steel making. Tertiary- Providing a service for people, there are lots of them. Teachers, shelf stacker etc. Quaternary- Provides information and expert help, IT consultant web design.

    3. Systems.

    4. Location of an Industry Raw materials- If heavy like Coal and Iron Ore for steel manufacturing, they need to be near the factory. As heavy and bulky to transport Labour Workers- Some industry needs lots of manual workers other needs specially skilled. Transport- essential to be near Road, Rail, air and sea, so can transport to and from and get end product to the market. Capital- Needed to set up industry- Banks, building societies and Governments can help fund this. Markets- where the product is sold, might be in the UK or abroad. Government Policy- Grants, Aid and subsidies from the UK government are given to attract foreign business to the area. Environment- A good environment will attract workers especially if they have lots of things to do. Energy Supplies- Early Factories had to be close to fast flowing water or coal fields to provide energy to work machines- however now energy is available anywhere in the UK.

    5. Heavy industry in the UK- South Wales Iron & Steel Ebbw Vale. After 1860 Steel works began to replace Iron works. When the twentieth century arrived raw materials that were once plentiful to make steel. Coal, Iron ore, Limestone had run out, only one mine remained open. Only Port Talbot and Llanwern remained open and became integrated steel works, everything was done on one site. They imported raw materials and exported the steel. After Deindustrialisation- the government had to attract industry back to South Wales where high unemployment and poverty was rapidly rising. The government has offered, grants, subsidies and job protection to attract new industries to the area, this came to late for ROVER as the steel plants provided most of their parts., once rover went the final steel works went to.

    6. The New SOUTH WALES New attracted industry included. Bio technology, IT, Electronics, and Financial services. Most urban areas in New South Wales now have modern Business parks. E.G SWANSEA The waterfront. Admiral has located there aided with a grant from the Welsh Assembly of over 1.9 Million. Created 250 jobs. Will improve Recreation in the area, public transport, Refurbishment of Colliery buildings. But people think the investment will add to the further decline of the center because funds will be concentrated on the waterfront

    7. NICs Newly Industrialised Countries. Fast growing economies where industrialisation has happened very quickly. The Tiger economies include South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, China. The NICs develop so quickly because: Labour People will work long hours, low pay. Government provided long term planning and attract new industries through incentives. Transport - all the countries are close to main shipping lanes, a cheap way to transport. Markets goods are produced for global market. Markets within Asia are increasing as people have more money.

    8. Case Study South Korea Korea has some massive industrial companies. Samsung Hyundai In 1960s South Korea was a war eravaged and isolated country. The government planned a series of 5 year economic plans. Stage 1(1960s) Focus on manufacturing which needed lots of workers for example textiles. Stage 2 (1970s) Investment grew in heavy industries such as ship building and steel and iron. Stage 3 (1980s and 90s) Move towards hi tech industries such as computers and electronics.

    9. Footloose!Footloose! (sing along) Footloose industry the clue is in the name you foot is loose to go anywhere it wants!!! Footloose industries are Hi tech they make expensive things and because they are not tied by raw materials or availability of energy they can locate anywhere. They look for : Good transport links near motorways, railways and airports. Cheap Land large sites for expansion. Locate in a nice environment. Need workers with special skills, possibly well educated form universities.

    10. Examples The M4 corridor, Silicon Glen in central Scotland, Silicon Valley in California. Hi tech footloose industries have picked the M4 corridor because It has lots of educated workers in the area, near universities for research and development (R&D), Easy to access Motorways and Heathrow airport, close to the Cotswolds an attractive environment! The footloose industries are found on the edge of towns and cities in Parks Science Parks Have links with Unis , landscaped areas are important here. R&D Business Parks often have leisure facilities, shops,landscaped areas. Not linked with Unis. Industrial estates some are hi tech but a lot will be to do with manufacturing.
