Macro-perspective {notably, associated with positivism}: examples:

Research question 1: how do the various environmental drivers affect the attribute status of different types of homelessness in Hong Kong [using statistical data {notably, secondary data} and statistical analysis {e.g. multiple regression analysis}]?

Research question 2: how does the number of people experiencing different attribute status of various types of homelessness in Hong Kong affect the reported cases about various types of illnesses of the homeless people [using statistical data and statistical analysis {e.g. multiple regression analysis}]?

Micro-perspective {notably associated with interpretivism}: examples:

Research question 1:

How does a particular group of people in HK [e.g. generation y] perceive the influence of various environmental drivers on the perceived homelessness status of different people in different types of homelessness? The research methods to use are unstructured interview and focus group research, for example.

Research question 2:

How do homeless people in different types of homelessness feel about their quality of life? The research method to use is semi-structured interview research, for example.
