Proposal for a Methodological Approach to Cultural Geomorphology Studies .

Abstract

In the last two centuries, people have had an increasingly important impact on the material transfer and changing landforms on the earth, primarily through agricultural activities, mining and quarrying, and the construction of cities and roads. The research methodology to be used in cultural geomorphology studies was established with the study and a study technique discussed in four sections was determined. Within the scope of the recommendations, a mixed research method was used in the study. The geographical characteristics of the research area were obtained using the quantitative research method. The data were subjected to meta-analysis and the definition of the area was made. With the progressive and regressive research method study, land observation and evaluation were made, the existence and needs of cultural areas were revealed. Using the qualitative research technique, the theory of the concept of cultural geomorphology was developed, hypotheses were created, interpretations and generalizations were made.
