摘要

This study examines environmental justice in the West Bank, Palestine, within the broader framework of sustainable development. Building on environmental justice theory, which emphasizes distributive, procedural, and recognition dimensions, the research investigates perceptions of environmental justice and environmental inequalities within a context characterized by complex governance and resource constraints.

A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from a structured questionnaire (n = 629) with qualitative responses obtained through open-ended questions included in the survey instrument. The survey assessed perceptions across sixteen indicators aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), covering key domains such as economic conditions, inequalities, sustainable cities, environmental management, climate action, biodiversity, institutional performance, and global partnerships.

The findings indicate high levels of perceived environmental justice concerns across all indicators. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences across gender, place of residence, or administrative division for most indicators, suggesting broadly similar perceptions among respondents. However, significant differences emerged for the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development indicator across gender and administrative divisions.

The qualitative findings highlight the perceived importance of governance-related challenges, institutional limitations, infrastructure constraints, and resource accessibility in shaping environmental justice concerns. These findings provide additional context for interpreting the quantitative results and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of environmental justice perceptions in the West Bank.

The study concludes that environmental justice concerns in the West Bank extend across multiple environmental, social, economic, governance, and development-related dimensions. The research contributes to the environmental justice literature by integrating SDG-based indicators within a mixed-methods framework and by providing evidence from a politically and institutionally constrained context.
