The course is designed to introduce the 1st year spatial planning students of the University of Duhok to different empirical field methods including research topic development and data collection. The students will learn how to define a study project, conduct a background research, choose appropriate research methods, and prepare a brief research proposal. They will also learn how to identify the relevant data and develop collection tools (guides such as questionnaires and interview questions), using most common and realistic empirical methods, which will rely on field work, observation, and experimentation. This course is important for the planning students as it focuses on different data collection methods, such as surveys, questionnaires, observations, and interviews. These methods will form the basis of data analysis and decision-making processes.
