3.1 Overview:
In this section, I will present the plan for secondary research and consider the
advantages and disadvantages of this method in digital environmental protection
research.
Secondary research will help us understand the evolution of digital technology and
how it can be applied to help protect the environment. This can include aspects such
as natural resource management, environmental monitoring, and digital applications
in sustainable production.
The advantages of secondary research in this field include the availability of a large
amount of information and research related to the combination of digitalization and
environmental protection. However, the downside may be the limitation in finding
information or keeping up to date with the latest trends in this field.
3.2 List of Articles / Books:
Below is a list of articles and books along with relevant online sources that we intend
to consult in secondary research on digital environmental protection:
"Digital Solutions for Sustainable Resource Management" - Author: Sarah Green
"IoT and Environmental Monitoring: A Review of Recent Advances" - Author:
James Anderson
"Sustainability in the Digital Age: Challenges and Opportunities" - Author: Jessica
Miller
"The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Decision-Making" - Author:
Robert Davis
"Digital Platforms for Climate Change Mitigation" - Author: Mary Johnson
3.3 Summarize about Articles:
After studying the articles and reference sources, we will summarize the important
findings, theories and perspectives in the referenced documents. This helps us better
understand how digitalization can be applied to help protect the environment and
provides essential knowledge for our research project.
