Abstract

Making sense of the myriad of available research design options is generally an arduous task for researchers. Proper research design is, subsequently, often neglected in Planning research, resulting in superficial research outputs. To simplify this task of designing research, a roadmap was created with 'building blocks' that organises available research design options. Supportive and guiding literature references are also provided for each listed option in the 'building blocks' as a point of departure for researchers. These 'building blocks' were created by conducting a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles, books, and grey literature on methodology for social and applied sciences (with a specific focus on Planning). Planning students and researchers may use these 'building blocks' as a point of departure for identifying and choosing options when designing their own research. Planning educators may find it useful in designing a thorough research methodology course.

Om sin te maak van die magdom beskikbare navorsingsontwerpopsies is dikwels 'n moeisame taak vir navorsers. Deeglike navorsingsontwerp word dikwels in Beplanningsnavorsing nagelaat met oppervlakkige uitsette tot gevolg. Om die ontwerp van navorsing te vereenvoudig, is ' padkaart saamgestel met 'boublokke' wat beskikbare opsies vir navorsingsontwerp organiseer. Ondersteunende en rigtinggewende literatuurverwysings word ook vir elke gelyste opsie verskaf om as vertrekpunt vir navorsers te dien. Hierdie 'boublokke' is saamgestel deur middel van 'n sistematiese oorsig van eweknie-geëvalueerde artikels, boeke en grys literatuur oor metodologie vir sosiale en toegepaste wetenskappe (met 'n spesifieke fokus op Beplanning). Beplanningstudente en -navorsers kan hierdie 'boublokke' gebruik as uitgangspunt om opsies te identifiseer en te kies tydens die samestelling van hul eie navorsingsontwerp. Beplanningsopvoedkundiges kan dit benut om ' deeglike navorsings-metodologie-kursus te ontwerp.
