Hello.
I am attempting to draft a model for producing social and affordable housing units in Ireland based on the model used in Vienna. The methodology I have decided to employ is mixed-use. The qualitative data will be collected via interviews with industry professionals and policy experts. My aim is to apply the information collected here to a hypothetical example in which the effect on cost of implementing the model can be measured.
My question is what is the proper name of this type of quantitative research and is it acceptable to carry out as part of an undergraduate research project? Thus far I have been referring to it as a hypothetical/theoretical case study. However, I am wondering if this type of research is more in line with an experiment or another type of research.
Obviously it is important to use correct titles when carrying out research and I would like to ensure that I am doing this. Any answers or recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.
