Question

How does the principle of equity ensure fair distribution of benefits in participatory planning?

• A. By focusing solely on privileged groups
• B. By redistributing outcomes to ensure that benefits are shared fairly across all social groups
• C. By prioritizing economic outcomes over social needs
• D. By excluding marginalized groups from decision-making processes

Answer 1

Answer:

B. By redistributing outcomes to ensure that benefits are shared fairly across all social groups

The principle of equity ensures that outcomes are redistributed fairly, so that all social groups, especially disadvantaged ones, can benefit equally from the planning process. This prevents certain groups from being left behind and promotes social justice.
