This study intends to grasp the subjective perception of participants from rural areas on self-sufficiency project and, based on the perception types identified, to suggest the orientation of self-sufficiency projects in rural areas. With 31 statements related to self-sufficiency projects, Q sorting was conducted to 25 participants in rural areas. The results of Q factor analysis revealed the following four perception types. First, participants belonging to the type ‘Adjustment-Reality Satisfaction’ perceive that deliberation with their colleagues is very important, and that participation in self-sufficiency projects may help them overcome their current difficult situations but it is hard to expect that things will be much better after participation. Second, those who belong to the type ‘Dissatisfaction-System Improvement’ feel the importance of jobs matching each participant's capability and the need of differentiated self-sufficiency programs that would make it possible to enter the labour market. Third, the type ‘Rational Choice-Status Quo’ perceives that participation in self-sufficiency projects is a rational choice considering their current situation and finds it important to prevent worsening of their own situation. Fourth, the type ‘Satisfaction-Future Oriented’ believes that participation in self-sufficiency projects is helpful for their livelihood and ultimately will contribute to their self-reliance. Therefore, this study stresses the necessity of diverse and differentiated self-sufficiency project programs suited to the different characteristics of participants from rural areas, as well as the self-sufficiency case management for participants from rural areas which are disadvantaged compared to urban areas, and the adoption of self-sufficiency programs focused on emotional and social perspectives.
