OVERVIEWOverall, research methodology is a methodical system for solving a problem. It is a science that studies how research should be carried out. Essentially, the procedures by which researchers carry out their work of describing, explaining and predicting phenomena are called research methodology. It is also described as the study of approaches by which information is expanded. Its objective is to provide the research work plan so that the objectives are easily achieved, thus at the same time achieving the goals of the study. This chapter sets out the preparation of an applied research methodology to achieve the objectives identified for the study which are to investigate the design, construction process and cost implication on the roof construction of EDUCITY Sports Complex, Iskandar Malaysia, Johor. Essentially, only one category of methodology is used, namely the qualitative view. This method will be explained in more detail in this chapter later. In fact, this research method helps provide more data to work with and ultimately produce a more accurate assessment. Research methodology is a technique usually used to conduct research. Therefore, in this current chapter, it will also provide the framework for the research methodology carried out on the design, construction and financial implications of a roof. This will include research steps which will consist of 4 steps in total. The first step will be to establish the aim, objectives and define the scope of the research. The next step will be the analysis of the literature on the whole roof, especially on the stadium roof, as well as the review of the case study which is the EDUCITY Sports Complex, Iskandar Malaysia, Johor. Stage 3 is the middle of studying articles, sources are books, journals, articles, Internet, interviews and site visits. The analysis is done by examining the objectives to find out if the information or data collected is relevant to the previously stated objective. Once the analysis is done, the conclusion will be produced based on the analysis done before. The conclusion will present the results, as well as recommendations for improvement for future research. Results include the design, construction and financial implications of the roof. 3.3.5 COMPILATION Once the fourth step (4) is completed, all findings will be presented in the form of a report in the form of an overall thesis for submission. The report is based on the data collected in the third step (3). The discussion with the supervisor will allow the report to be presented in an organized manner. The search process can be summarized according to the figure 2.
