Techniques in Human Geography 1st Edition

The first concise guide to the purposeful use of techniques in human geography. Examining key techniques in detail – survey and qualitative, numerical, spatial and computer-based – the book draws on important case studies, such as the decennial census, to illustrate applications. The importance of up-to-date IT based techniques is particularly stressed, introducing widely recognised applications. A final section explores the Internet, which offers exciting new resources but also creates problems for researchers used to traditional academic fields.
