Geographic research is a systematic process in which data is collected and analysed to increase our comprehension of certain phenomena using primary and secondary sources. Presenting and communicating this new data to others is completely up to the researcher. Sources that can be used are books, internet, interviews and many more.
Investigating the subject can ensure that you will have a better understanding of it rather than just picking up the first book in the library. A research topic could be “why are people in NZ concerned about saving endangered species and how are we trying to save them?” as we can research in depth about endangered species here in NZ because we live here. It is also the examination and investigation of topics from various viewpoints and the hunt for the truth. We could consider finding out “alternate sources of energy in NZ” as a geographic research topic and use various viewpoints of New Zealanders as one source because NZ is well known for being a clean and green country and would most likely have already installed some of these alternate sources of energy.
Geographic research involves planning, where you create a hypothesis, collecting the data, reflecting, evaluating, Important Geographic Ideas such as location, alternative approach and a conclusion. Finding out “the location of racial grouping in Auckland” is one example of geographic research.
Geographic research is an investigation that is used to find more information or to elaborate on a topic that is given. Geographic research is also a process and it is not only just searching on Google and reading books about it, but it’s about hunting for the truth and including people’s point of view. Geographic research uses specific details about that topic that you are studying. An example of geographic research is the: Why we as human should save endangered species? How are using alternative resources saving our country in the future?
Geographic research involve so many things such as planning, collecting data, reflecting, presenting and evaluating. Using Important Geographic Idea's is relevant to Geographic research. For example, location this IGI is relevant to our new topic which is called 'Racial Groups in Auckland'.
Geographic research is the collection of data from primary sources such as books, the internet and secondary sources like people. Research allows the searcher to examine information in depth to enhance their understanding of the phenomena from different points of views and therefore be able to communicate what they have understood from their findings to others. It involves initial planning to help organise your research to be able to analyse your data to understand points of the topic and to respond to your hypothesis. Follow up and reflect on your findings to better educate ones-self this helps with the planning process to evaluate your work to ensure it contains vital parts of information about the topic and find alternative approaches to improve what you have presented. Some geographic topics to research could be how does the location of humans affect living organisms? Why should we be concerned with and contribute to saving endangered species? And our current research topic Racial groups in Auckland city New Zealand.
Geographic research is a systematic process. Geographic research is gathering data or information about a particular subject that you want to know more about. Geographic research is not just about going to the Library or picking the first five hit that appear first on Google. Geographic research is to hunt for the truth and to make sure that the information you’ve got is relevant for your chosen question or the topic you are researching about. Research is to gain knowledge so that you able communicate to gain another person’s understanding. Sources that you could use for research are, News Paper Books, interview, internet and many more. Some geographic research topic could be about our current research topic Racial group in Auckland city in New Zealand, why there are more Polynesian living in Auckland?, Why is it important to save endangered species?, or Why is people in NZ concerned about saving endangered species?.
