The specificity of the methods of human geographical survey of political activism in the region is that it should have an interdisciplinary.

The general set of methods to obtain information on human geographical studies of political activity in the region offer subdivided into philosophical, general and concretely scientific methods. By philosophical methods we refer historical, objectivity, consistency and integrity, causality, forecasting principles. Methods of systems analysis, abstraction and generalization, predictive modeling, comparison and others belong to the scientific methods of research. Particularly important and informative study is a block of concretely scientific methods. The top priority for any scientific study is a preliminary analysis of documentary sources and other materials on selected topics. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of existing information helps us uncover methods discourse-analysis, content- analysis and event-analysis. Are valuable and sociological methods, including questionnaires. Political geographical research is impossible without mapping method (badges, cartograms, cartographical chart et al.) and other modes of visual representation of the data. Topical are mathematical and statistical techniques, including cluster and factor distributions. Thus, the problem of efficient selection methods for the study of political activism in the region as a socio-geographic area wide enough explored and requires a thorough scientific analysis.
