The methodological needs of environmental studies are unique in the
breadth of research questions that can be posed, calling for a
textbook that covers a broad swath of approaches to conducting
research with potentially many different kinds of evidence. Fully
updated to address new developments such as the effects of the
internet, recent trends in the use of computers, remote sensing,
and large data sets, this new edition of Research Methods for
Environmental Studies is written specifically for social
science-based research into the environment. This revised edition
contains new chapters on coding, focus groups, and an extended
treatment of hypothesis testing. The textbook covers the
best-practice research methods most used to study the environment
and its connections to societal and economic activities and
objectives. Over five key parts, Kanazawa introduces quantitative
and qualitative approaches, mixed methods, and the special
requirements of interdisciplinary research, emphasizing that
methodological practice should be tailored to the specific needs of
the project. Within these parts, detailed coverage is provided on
key topics including the identification of a research project,
hypothesis testing, spatial analysis, the case study method,
ethnographic approaches, discourse analysis, mixed methods, survey
and interview techniques, focus groups, and ethical issues in
environmental research. Drawing on a variety of extended and
updated examples to encourage problem-based learning and fully
addressing the challenges associated with interdisciplinary
investigation, this book will be an essential resource for students
embarking on courses exploring research methods in environmental
studies.
