Cultural geography research uses a few main methods to study people and places.

1. Qualitative Methods:

   • These involve talking to people through interviews.
   • It also includes spending time with them to understand their lives better.

2. Quantitative Methods:

   • This includes surveys that gather information and use numbers to analyze it.
   • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help organize and study spatial data, or how things are located in space.

3. Mixed Methods:

   • This method combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches. That way, researchers get a fuller picture.

In a study from 2020, it was found that about 60% of cultural geographers use GIS for their research, while 40% prefer ethnographic methods to connect with people more personally.
