Observation

This question was popular with the candidates but the performance of the candidates were     poor mainly because of the inability of the candidates to draw a good sketch map and to      locate the features on the map.

Some of the candidates were able to outline the factors which favour population density. However, quite a good proportion of the candidates were not able to highlight the problems   with areas of sparse population density.  The expected answers include:
-           inadequate manpower;
-           high cost of providing social amenities;
-           net outmigration of able bodied youth;
-           disincentive to planning;
-           under utilization of resources;
-           poor rate of development;
-           low revenue generation;

-           low value for landed properties.
