Research Methods in Geography

Research Methods in Geography constitute the systematic framework for investigating spatial phenomena, human-environment relationships, and the unique character of places. This field employs a broad spectrum of approaches, from quantitative techniques like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial statistics for analyzing patterns and modeling processes, to qualitative methods such as ethnography, interviews, and archival analysis for exploring lived experiences and the cultural meanings of landscapes. By integrating these diverse methodologies, geographers collect, analyze, and interpret spatial and social data to generate new insights into how the world works.
