In most planning practice and research, planners work with
quantitative data. By summarizing, analyzing, and presenting data,
planners create stories and narratives that explain various
planning issues. Particularly, in the era of big data and data
mining, there is a stronger demand in planning practice and
research to increase capacity for data-driven storytelling. Basic
Quantitative Research Methods for Urban Planners provides readers
with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on techniques for a variety
of quantitative research studies, from descriptive statistics to
commonly used inferential statistics. It covers statistical methods
from chi-square through logistic regression and also
quasi-experimental studies. At the same time, the book provides
fundamental knowledge about research in general, such as planning
data sources and uses, conceptual frameworks, and technical
writing. The book presents relatively complex material in the
simplest and clearest way possible, and through the use of real
world planning examples, makes the theoretical and abstract content
of each chapter as tangible as possible. It will be invaluable to
students and novice researchers from planning programs,
intermediate researchers who want to branch out methodologically,
practicing planners who need to conduct basic analyses with
planning data, and anyone who consumes the research of others and
needs to judge its validity and reliability.
