Specifically talking about Geography it is the science and art of defining a particular area over the earth surface including its related scientific aspects.The digital age, also called the information age, is defined as the time period starting in the 1970s with the introduction of the personal computer with subsequent technology introduced providing the ability to transfer information freely and quickly. Back to the history geography starts with the traditional method of map making in Greece. But in modern age geography changes its track from traditional approaches to the use and study of new modern tools and techniques. A new branch has evolved i.e., Applied Geography. Insofar as applied geography endeavours to link general processes to specific cases, qualitative approaches are uniquely positioned to make meaning in place, impact policy, and transform everyday life. Qualitative methods have become an important tool for applied geographers. The goals of applied geography require the use of many types of geographic tools. Qualitative methods allow applied geographers to expand the boundaries of research. In recent trend and development Geography turned to many fold evolution. Now Geography has been applied to many fields like navigation, transport management, agriculture etc. The study of Recent Trend and Development in Social Ssciences: With Special Reference to Application in Geography may show a significant change of different branches in Geography through time and space which has been reflected the technique in the figures of AMC area of Dibrugarh District and Digboi Town of Tinsukia District. The study reveals that how the union of qualitative methods and a focuss on the specific with different geographiical technologies has led to innovative and exciting ways of understanding and visualizing the multifaceted relationship between spatial phenomena.This study is mainly descriptive method and based primarily on secondary data collection.
