GGH2604 Assignment 2 Semester 2 2026 – Due 2 September 2026
SEMESTER 2

ASSIGNMENT 02 UNIQUE NUMBER: 221978 DUE DATE: 02 SEPTEMBER 2026

Introduction
Every day, humans impact the physical environment around them in various ways, and in
turn, environmental systems influence human behaviour, infrastructure and safety. For this
assignment, you step into the role of a local field researcher. You will identify, photograph
and analyse a specific, active human-environment interaction or environmental problem
within your immediate local surroundings (your neighbourhood, suburb, or municipal ward
where you currently live).
The environmental problem you will identify and analyse, can be any problem that is relevant
to the area in which you live. Below are some examples for you that you can use. You are
free to include one that is not in the list below.
Illegal dumping Water pollution
Air pollution
Habitat loss
Infrastructure
Inner city issues
Soil erosion
Biodiversity loss
Water access
Flooding
Drought
Natural hazards

TASK: You will visually analyse and present the issue across a single-page A3 poster
divided into four different parts. Please use the layout provided with the assignment
instructions on the GGH2604 myModules site. The outline and format of the poster is
described below. You must use the attached PowerPoint document in the assignment to
create the poster. You will then save the poster as a PDF and upload it to Assignment 02.
A separate video will be shared to help you with this process.
2. Poster Layout and Section Instructions
Unless expressly indicated, you are not allowed to use AI.
The poster must have the following layout and look something like this:

Part 1: Geographic Context and Identity Verification (100 – 200 words)
• Visual Element: You must insert a clear selfie of yourself at the site, with the
environmental problem clearly visible in the background. This serves as your primary
verification of authenticity. This may not be AI generated.
• Text Element: Explicitly state the exact geographic location i.e. suburb, town/city,
and/or municipal ward. Provide a brief description identifying the core environmental
issues affecting this area. You may use internet resources to locate the data. Include
the website in the reference list at the bottom of the poster. Additionally, include the
following:
– Where is the problem located (city, suburb, etc.)
– Population of the area
– Environmental aspects such as annual rainfall and temperature
– Describe the area; is it a city, suburban or rural area
– What industry or commerce is dominant
– Any interesting human and/or environmental facts about the area
Part 2: Local Human Impact (Close-up Analysis; 100 – 200 words)
• Visual Element: Insert a close-up photograph taken by you that highlights the
details of the environmental issue. This may not be AI generated.
• Text Element (100 – 200 words): Analyse the human influence driving this problem.
