The length of the introduction and literature review can vary, but generally, they should be concise while covering key aspects. Aim for approximately 10-15% of the total word count for the introduction and 20-25% for the literature review.

1. Introduction (10-15% of total word count)
- Briefly introduce the topic and its significance.
- Clearly state the research question or hypothesis.
- Outline the aims and objectives of your investigation.
- Provide an overview of the study area and its relevance.
- Mention the methodology briefly.

2. Literature Review (20-25% of total word count)
- Summarize existing research relevant to your topic.
- Identify key themes, debates, or theories in the literature.
- Highlight any gaps or controversies in current knowledge.
- Explain how your research contributes to or builds upon existing work.
- Cite academic sources to support your points.

Regarding data collection methods, the number of methods depends on the complexity of your research question and the resources available. However, it's common to use a combination of at least two or three methods to provide a comprehensive understanding. Common data collection methods in geography include surveys, interviews, fieldwork, GIS analysis, and document analysis.






Ensure that the chosen methods align with your research question and objectives. Justify your choices in the methodology section of your NEA, explaining how each method contributes to answering your research question.

Remember to follow the guidelines provided by your teacher or examination board, as they might have specific requirements for the length and content of the introduction, literature review, and methodology sections.
