Research objectives

Definition:
Research objectives is the descriptions or goals of what is to be achieved by the study.
Characteristics:
  1. It should be logical sequence.
  2. It should be clear & unambiguous.
  3. It should be outline the scope of research.
  4. It should give the clear picture of how to perform investigation.
Importance/Needs of Research Objectives:
  1. The research objectives will help to focus the study.
  2. It facilitates in development of methodology.
  3. It guides the information to be collected.
  4. It helps to identify & describes the variable of study.
  5. The research objectives enlighten the way in which researcher has to proceed.
  6. It help to orient the collection, analysis, interpretation & utilization of data.
  7. The research objectives will help to identifying the relationship & differences of variable.
  8. They are closely related to the statement of problem.
  9. The objectives of research summarize what to be achieved by the study.
Types of Research Objectives:
  1. General Objectives: General objectives are the broad goals to be achieved.
  2. Specific Objectives: Specific objectives are the short term & narrow goals to be achieved.

Behaviouralism in geography

Behaviouralism Behaviouralism is an approach in human geography that came to prominence in the human geography of the 1960s and 1970s. It goes out of the idea that people are the determining factor in the explanation of space. Behaviouralism tries to give an explanation of the spatiallity of human activities. And thereby they use a complex universally applicable model.  Definition of Behaviouralism: The particular aspect with which geographical content is analyzed using mathematical statistics & human sensitivity, is called behavioralism. Concept of Behaviouralism: The Behaviouralism revolution is a theoretical concept. Its theories are not based on assumptions, but are actually explored through ascending methods based on the experience of human behavior. An analysis of the significance of geographical issues in behavioral perspectives within a system, so therefore is no definite boundary to behavioral geography. The main purpose of behaviouralism geography is to in...

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones.  Assumption:        i.           Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population.       ii.           Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city.     iii.           Private ownership of property & economic competition for space.     iv.           Expanding area & population of the city.       v.    ...

T-S Diagram

Definition: The diagram by which the salinity & temperature of the sea water are expressed is called T-S diagram. Prepared: T-S Diagram was prepared by Helland Harsenin (1916) with the objective to  determine the density of water at various depth. Characteristics: The Temperature ‘T’ & Salinity ‘S’ observed at the particular depth are represented by a single point in this diagram. The plotted points of T & S generally fall on a well defined curve, in which temperature & salinity decrease together. The density of water tends to increase with depth. In T-S Diagram, it may be observed that many combinations of temperature & salinity can yield the same density. In T-S Diagram, it may be observed that the density of water tends to increase with depth.  Diagrammatic Example: Significance: The T-S Diagram is a tool of great utility in Oceanography. The T-S Diagram is the way to visualize layering of water. The T-S Diagram helps in t...
