In this chapter, you will explore the different purposes of research. You will learn two different approaches to social research design: the deductive approach, which is underlain by the traditional scientific method, and the inductive approach, which is driven by the notion of grounded theory. You will learn a step-by-step process for designing spatial research using either a deductive or inductive approach. You will also learn key research concepts such as baseline data.
