What is structure through the enquiry process?Show answer
The report is structured through the enquiry process introduced in the fieldwork dot point. A typical structure runs: an introduction stating the focused question or hypothesis and its geographical context and theory; a methodology justifying the data-collection methods, sampling strategy and risk assessment; data presentation using appropriate maps, graphs and tables; analysis applying statistical and qualitative techniques and linking findings to theory; a conclusion answering the question with evidence; and a critical evaluation of reliability, limitations and improvements. Each stage builds on the previous one, so a weak question undermines everything that follows, which is why the design stage is so important.
