Читать книгу GIS Research Methods - Steven J. Steinberg - Страница 9

Chapter 3 explores the different purposes of research. It also presents two different approaches (deductive and inductive) to research design. The chapter includes a step-by-step process for designing spatial research using either a deductive or inductive approach and discusses key research concepts such as baseline data. The traditional scientific method underlies the deductive research approach, and the notion of grounded theory drives the inductive approach to social research methods.
