Declining or Waning
- Historical Analysis of Urban Development:
Research focusing on historical urban development processes, particularly those that do not intersect with contemporary issues, seems to be less frequent, suggesting a shift towards more current and pressing urban challenges. - Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Studies centered on traditional agricultural methodologies without a modern adaptation or sustainability angle are becoming less common, indicating a move towards innovation and modernization in agricultural research. - Geographical Education:
Although educational perspectives in geography have been discussed, the volume of research specifically addressing pedagogical methods in geography education appears to be declining, potentially due to a focus on applied geographical research. - Static Environmental Assessments:
Research that presents static assessments of environmental conditions without dynamic or longitudinal analysis is less frequently published, suggesting a trend towards more integrated and adaptive environmental studies. - Local Conflict Studies:
There seems to be a decline in the frequency of publications focusing solely on local conflicts without broader socio-political contexts, indicating a shift towards more holistic analyses that consider wider implications.
