The objective of this study is to understand how various groups of people define poverty and why and if they consider themselves to be poor. In addition, we conducted interviews with planners to understand their definition of poverty and how they deal with it in their planning processes and to compare their point of view with those of the communities and individuals who were interviewed or surveyed in the processes of the study.
