Cíle předmětu
This course will provide students with both the understanding of principles that guide quality research and the tools needed to implement those principles in designing a research project, formulating the right questions, selecting appropriate methods (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), collecting and analysing data, and presenting their findings. It will focus on the practical application of the concepts and methods discussed in the course by conducting students’ own research projects and critically analysing the research of others.
The main objective of this course is to provide students with practical skills in the field of spatial socio-economic data. The emphasis is placed on basic information about the data sources, methods of their processing, analysis, evaluation, and their correct interpretation. Different types of data allow to know development tendencies and trends in socio-economic processes in the territory and serve as an input for elaboration of development strategies and as a basis for decision-making processes in the territory.
Výstupy z učení
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- find, sort, and classify spatial data coming from common public sources;
- to design the research project;
- design, prepare and carry out questionnaire surveys;
- apply appropriate methods of research in practice;
- process data and interpret achieved results;
- apply the acquired knowledge in the managerial practice.
