Geographies of the Indian Subcontinent: Cutting-Edge Methods in the Twenty-First-Century Research
摘要
This book explores the cutting-edge methods and approaches employed in contemporary research on the geographies of the Indian subcontinent, highlighting how interdisciplinary approaches and technological innovations have enriched research in geography and its allied subjects and have opened up new avenues in understanding this dynamic and multifaceted region. One of the most significant advancements in geographical research is the widespread adoption of geospatial technologies, yet both qualitative and quantitative field observations and experimentations remain an integral part of the information and data base that are fed into the machine learning algorithms. The analysis in quantitative research most often remains incomplete without statistical modelling where data alone cannot give reliable conclusions. The end objective of the research is to state inferences, facts with evidence, theories, proposals, analogies and plans for enhanced policymaking at every stage of governance.
