Participatory action research approaches have been developed and applied in four main areas: 1) participatory research in community development, 2) action research in organisations, 3) action research in schools, and 4) farmer participatory research. This book gives details of how, where and for what purpose PAR approaches have been used and discusses the role of the researcher and potential for social change of each participatory action research approach.
