Q methodology. Participatory research methods for sustainability ‐ toolkit #14

Achieving inclusive and equitable development requires interventions that account for diverse and sometimes conflicting human perspectives. Q methodology offers a structured approach to exploring human subjectivity, revealing how values align and differ across groups on sustainability issues. When combined with participatory approaches, the method supports the integration of diverse perspectives into planning and decision-making processes, promoting more inclusive and equitable outcomes. This toolkit demonstrates how Q methodology can be used to study participatory processes.
