Happy New Year...!!!
Fieldwork is important because:-
It is of great pedagogical importance as it lets students experience the geography of a particular region which theoretical texts can't do.
Field surveys enhance our understanding about patterns and spatial distributions, their associations and relationships at the local level.
Field surveys facilitate the collection of local level information that is not available through secondary sources.
It is very important as it helps to gather required information so as the problems under investigation is studied in depth as per the predefined objectives.
Field studies enable the investigator to comprehend the situation and processes in totality and at the place of their occurrence.
All the geographical skills are used in practical during field work. You get to learn and apply the skills of sampling, data collection, data processing, making questionnaires, map making, statistical techniques to derive results, observational skills and skills of interviewing etc.
It helps you understand the theoretical concepts better.
It gives you a chance to enjoy a wide variety of environments and landscapes.
Develops an understanding and sensitivity about the culture and people of field area. This may change your biased views about that community.
And most importantly, it is enjoyable and gives you a great memorable experience.
