TAUGHT POSTGRADUATE PROJECT ETHICS CHECKLIST
RESEARCH ETHICS APPROVAL NEEDS TO BE OBTAINED BEFORE RESEARCH
CAN BEGIN
The ethics checklist is a modified version and only needs completing if you are a
student who plans to undertake a research project which will involve people
participating in research either directly (e. interviews, questionnaires, focus
groups, and observation) and/or indirectly (e. people permitting access to data).
Feedback from supervisor and second marker within TWO WEEKS.
If you are a student who plans to undertake a research project which will involve
the NHS, patients, children/young people aged under 18 years, people with
disabilities, migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, you must submit the checklist
to foml@bradford.ac.

Summary of the
project –
background
information
The tourism sector is an important sector that provides economic growth,
creating jobs along with helping in protecting the environment. However,
this sector also influences social inequalities along with environmental
degradation. In this regard, maintaining economic growth, fostering social
equality along with environmental conservation has become crucial for the
tourism sector. In addition, less explored research areas and limited
previous literature also make this research more important to explore the
research context.
Research aim,
question(s) or
objectives
Aim
The main aim of this research is to explore the strategies to balance
between "economic growth, environmental conservation, and social equity
in the tourism industry" by exploring current challenges.
Objectives
Ethics Checklist 2023
to be typewritten
To investigate the current challenges within the tourism sector in
the context of economic growth, environmental conservation, and
social equity
To evaluate the practices, policies and existing framework for
promotion of sustainability in tourism industry
To explore the different strategies for economic development,
environmental conservation, and social equity in the context of
tourism
To propose the best innovative approaches for balancing between
economic growth, environmental conservation, and social equity in
the tourism industry
Methods of data
collection and
analysis (briefly)
"Pragmatism research philosophy" will be utilised for this research to
evaluate the complex phenomenon of balancing between economic
development and environmental sustainability within the tourism sector. As
stated by Ren et al. (2019), "Pragmatism research philosophy" is suitable
for researching complex research areas by analyse the research topic with
multiple methods and enhancing the subject matter understanding of the
research context.
"Sequential exploratory research design" will be used for this research to
analyse the balance between economic growth and environmental
sustainability within the tourism sector. As stated by Leitão and Lorente
(2020), "Sequential exploratory research design" is suitable for research
on the tourism sector by analysing the both data, qualitative and
quantitative data sources and meets the research questions effectively.
This has further enhanced the validity, acceptability along with quality of
the research.
This research will be based on "Qualitative" research. Qualitative research
is effective for in-depth understanding of the complex phenomenon of the
tourism industry and balancing economic development with a sustainable
environment. This type of research is also helpful in improving research
quality by developing new concepts and theories regarding economic
development with a sustainable environment within the tourism sector.
In terms of the primary data, a total of 30 responses will be collected for
this research and the "Random sampling method" will be utilized.
"Random sampling method" is effective in generalizability of research
findings into a larger research context that helps in enhancing research
quality and acceptability.
"Primary quantitative data" and "secondary qualitative data", both will be
collected for this research to critically analyse the balance between
economic development and environmental sustainability within the tourism
sector. Adoption of both data can help in improving research validity by in-
depth analysis of the research topic and analyse the unexplored area of
the research topic (Lima Santos et al. 2020).
In terms of secondary qualitative data, Google Scholar will be considered
as the data sources that can help in collecting secondary data. On the
other hand, primary data sources will be considered as survey
questionnaire responses.
In the primary quantitative data collection process, a survey questionnaire
for 30 responses will be developed that helps in collection of authentic
data by using Google forms.
