Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop and pilot a feminist informed community based participatory action research approach (f-CBPAR) to examine injustice. CBPAR is a collaborative approach between researchers and community members throughout the research process. F-CBPAR draws on both feminist theory and CBPAR literatures to identify power arrangements that contribute to environmental injustice. Using a f-CBPAR case study approach of primary interview data and descriptive secondary data, this exploratory study identifies climate threats of concern to a rural, farmworker community in California (USA) experiencing environmental and climate injustice. The f-CBPAR approach is used in partnering with community organizations to analyze hierarchical systems of power in conducting environmental exposure research. Through this exploratory case study, it unpacks one test case to showcase how f-CBPAR can help researchers further climate justice research. The originality of this research lies in the development of a novel CBPAR approach informed by feminist theory to identify gendered, racialized, and classed power arrangements that maintain climate injustice and to foster community action against such injustice.

以社区为基础的女权主义参与式行动研究方法促进气候正义

本研究的目的是发展和试点一种基于女权主义的社区参与行动研究方法（f-CBPAR），以审查不公正现象。CBPAR是研究人员和社区成员在整个研究过程中的协作方法。F-CBPAR利用女权主义理论和CBPAR文献来识别导致环境不公正的权力安排。本探索性研究采用基于主要访谈数据和描述性次要数据的f-CBPAR案例研究方法，确定了美国加利福尼亚州一个经历环境和气候不公正的农村、农场工人社区所关注的气候威胁。f-CBPAR方法用于与社区组织合作，分析进行环境暴露研究的权力等级制度。通过这一探索性案例研究，它揭示了一个测试案例，以展示f-CBPAR如何帮助研究人员进一步开展气候正义研究。本研究的独创性在于发展了一种以女性主义理论为基础的新的CBPAR方法，以识别维持气候不公正的性别化、种族化和阶级化的权力安排，并促进社区采取行动反对这种不公正。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
