Project duration: December 2022 - December 2025

Within the scientific project "From Agricultural to Rural Development: Local People in the Center of Economic Transition," the study examined the transformation of household-based economic activities against the backdrop of shifting rural development policies and the growing adoption of participatory approaches. The research was conducted in the Adjara region and employed a Transformative Mixed Methods Research Design, integrating quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Qualitative data analysis was carried out using MAXQDA software, enabling hybrid coding alongside spatial analysis and visualization.

The project was funded by the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG) (FR-21-907).
