Contents

Application-, project- and solution-oriented as well as topic-guided coupling of specialized science, field work and in-house methods on the basis of a case study.

Treatment of the ideal-typical sequence of a human geography research process.

1. exercise/lecture: introduction to the topic, development of specific basic knowledge and, if necessary, learning of appropriate methods;

2. fieldwork: Development of the research question for an empirical research project; conceptualization of a research design and selection of adequate working techniques and methods (e.g., sample selection, survey design, guide development); data collection, data processing, and data analysis (e.g., transcription of interviews, creation of a results database, data triangulation, multivariate statistics), and interpretation of results;

3rd seminar: presentation of results.


Qualification Goals

They learn to design and conduct fieldwork to collect and analyze spatial data, interpret the results, and design policy approaches to solve problems and acquire professional field-related problem-solving skills.
