Amenities are facilities or services that enhance the quality of life in a local area or community, making it more convenient or comfortable for residents and visitors. In the context of GCSE Geography, amenities can include public parks, libraries, schools, hospitals, shops, and public transportation networks. These features are important when studying settlements, as they influence where people choose to live and how communities develop. The availability and quality of amenities can vary significantly between different regions.
