摘要：Regional planners and most of the researches in the field of regional development usually use one kindof inquiry methodologies that may be classified into two distinguished kinds: qualitative and quantitative. Those whouse quantitative and trial methods to examine hypotheses, normally decreases the entire to less likely elements so as toease the breakdown analysis. Phenomenological analysis mostly uses qualitative and realistic methods to imaginativelyand generally understands human experience in contextual and specific sceneries. This approach is concerned withunderstanding and explaining a phenomenon, rather than explore the external reasons or basic rules that form it.Qualitative and quantitative methodologies are not contradictory or conflicting; rather they focus on different angels ofthe same phenomenon. Occasionally, these angels may seem to be harmonized: but even in these occurrences, wherethey seemingly diverge, the fundamental unity may become noticeable on deeper investigation. The use of multiplecategories of data gathering in the field of forming regional development strategies is simply a mixture of the twomethodologies in studying the same phenomenon. The hypothesis in this study rely on the idea that the weaknesses ineach single method will be compensated by the counter-balancing strengths of another.The theoretical and practical barriers faced when employing such a technique will be discussed via a simple structurestarting by recognising the methodology followed by a description and validation of the typical methodologies used inthe field of regional development and, finally, a simple example of a real case study that needs to assessing complexand multi-faceted elements of its proposed strategy; this is to proof that the proposed technique offers a balanced,holistic picture than employing a single individual method.
