Universe, Population, and Sample with Theoretical and Numerical Support
Universe, Population, and Sample with Theoretical and Numerical Support For the research project “Urban Development as a Public Green Area: The Case of Malecón Tajamar ,” it is essential to define the universe, population, and sample using both conceptual foundations and empirically supported numerical data. The universe of the study refers to the total set of elements related to urban development and public green areas in coastal tourist cities. This includes residents, authorities, environmental organizations, and ecosystems across multiple cities facing similar environmental and urbanization challenges. According to Roberto Hernández Sampieri , the universe (or target population in a broad sense) comprises all cases that meet a set of specifications relevant to the research problem. Due to its broad scope and the difficulty of quantifying all elements, the universe is considered large or practically infinite. In methodological terms, this justifies estimating it at more t...
