Every second your back is turned is an opportunity to be taken advantage of. There are a higher number of criminals in the bigger cities compared to towns like Ellijay. A sense of security is well-known in the town and there are more people looking to help you with something than to take advantage of you. Around every corner in Jacksonville, there seems to be a police car looking to bust someone for something, but small towns’ crime rates are significantly lower not only because there are fewer people, but because the sense of security is higher and no one feels the need to commit a crime. Stealing is almost unheard of in Ellijay, the townspeople know that growth only happens when everyone plays their part.

The results show that there are relatively low litter amounts compared to the amount of tourists they recieve each day A total of 1226 tourists were counted at 11:15 with only 678 pieces of litter. The graph shows the biggest percentage of litter was chewing gum and cigarette butts, these are small pieces of litter so are harder to notice and take more time to remove compared to crisp wrappers and paper. The reason the litter count is low is also because Keswick is cleaned 3 times a day because the amount of tourism is high, which means labour costs are higher than average. Litter can be linked to the enviromental quaility and as a year group we surveyed 36 sited for this but only 1 site, site 14 had a negative rating for litter. This could be due to the fact that it is in the CED with 79 people walking past it and a litter count of 54 it is also very close to the fast food outlets of the old Keswickian chip shop and Greggs.The questionnaire also links to my litter survey because when asked "What problems are caused by tourism?"
