Abstract |
This paper describes the process of action research as a new "participatory paradigm" of social research and discusses how its principles can be applied to the field of human-environment studies, and ...in particular the sub-field of community studies. The first section defines action research and introduces a typology of its main types of inquiry. The second section compares and contrasts the participatory paradigm to the traditional paradigm of social science research, and the third section discusses recent attempts to incorporate the concepts of the action research participatory paradigm into the field of human-environmental studies and suggests changes that should be made in our thinking if we are to truly realize a participatory paradigm in the field.show more
