Abstract

Abstract This article presents findings of a field research conducted in Brazil's Amazon in 2011. The aim of the article is to present a new method tool for environmental justice research called Q methodology by outlining the outcry for justness of indigenous people on Algodoal-Maiandeua, on an island sibling and area de protecao ambiental (APA) [area of environmental protection]. Two Q studies have been realized at the same time and compared by factor analytical means. The findings gave evidence for statistical significantly less degree of discourse differences for the sustainability development concept than for the environmental justice concept. The narratives tell that the secretary of the environment seeks to establish ecological corridors whereas the community demands infrastructure measures and job opportunities.
