Methodology Rethink

Just couldn't get my mind straight on this methodology thing. How do I do my research???

Only yesterday I told that I've got the research framework done!....and today I'm blank!!. Is this
normal for a PhD student?

I have a research topic, an outline, case study, and some references...yet I'm lost! Ya...total lost.

This morning I had a discusion with my wife over breakfast at Shaaz Curry House. Topic? Well you know....my research methodology! And still no clues as to my method. In the office, I tried to get some piece of mind. Look on the net. Wife helped out too. Search the web. Meanwhile... I contacted my supervisor asking for HELP! Below is the second methodology that I came up and sent to him.

Awaiting response.

Methodology Two:
1. Listing and conducting inventories of all protected landscapes in Peninsular Malaysia
(about 5 or 6 areas on current UN List)
2. Assess their status against the IUCN management objectives
3. Conduct survey of visitors
4. Interview relevant Departments, evaluate legislations and policies pertaining to
their jurisdictions affecting protected landscapes/ seascapes
5. Evaluate their effectiveness, strength and weakneses
6. Benchmarking to Australian policies and management practices/ IUCN
7. Recommend model (framework) for park planning and management in Malaysia.
