Abstract

Amartya Sen képességszemléletének középpontjában az emberek szabadsága áll, az arra való tényleges lehetőségük, hogy általuk értékesnek tartott életet élhessenek. E keretben a szegénység nem ragadható meg kizárólag az anyagi javak hiányával - az a ténylegesen megvalósítható cselekedetek és létállapotok szűkös voltát jelenti. Célunk, hogy a képességszemléletre támaszkodva javaslatot tegyünk a szegénységkezelési programok kialakításának legfontosabb szempontjaira. Majd megvizsgáljuk, hogy ez az elemzési keret - a képességszemlélettel összhangban meghatározott szempontok - hogyan jelenik meg a szegénységkezelésben érintett helyi döntéshozók, szakértők és civilek gondolkodásmódjában, először általánosságban majd egy konkrét projekt - a hátrányos helyzetűek számára tervezett szegedi lakópark ötletének - kapcsán. Eredményeink szerint a szegénységgel összefüggő gondolkodás illeszkedik a képességszemlélet érveihez, azonban értékelési keretünk egyes szempontjainak figyelembevétele eltérő súlyt kap a szegénységgel kapcsolatos általános gondolkodás és a konkrét esetről alkotott vélemények kapcsán. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: A13, I30, I32, O15, O19.
