1:20,000 horizontal scale Participatory 3D model of
Sagarmatha National Park and World Heritage Site
(June and December 2007), Nepal.
Note: The model (1,400 km2)
- covering elevations ranging from 1,700 m to 8,848m a.s.l.
- was built as part community based planning exercise in the
context of the protected area. The model will be used for
documenting and locating natural and cultural heritage
resources as well as serve as source of information for
visitors.
Depicted data reflect the knowledge of 21 community
members representing a
wide cross-section of the communities in the park.
Method/tools:

 A
Participatory 3D Modelling (P3DM) workshop was carried out
on 2-14 December 2007 in
Sagarmatha
National Park (SNP), Nepal in the framework of the Hindu
Kush-Karakoram-Himalaya (HKKH) Partnership Project. The 3D
model is now stationed at the
park entrance gate in Monjo where a visitor information
centre is being developed. (Menris
ICIMOD 2007).
Sagarmatha
is an exceptional area with dramatic mountains, glaciers and
deep valleys, dominated by Mount Everest, the highest peak
in the world (8,848 m). Several rare species, such as the
snow leopard and the lesser panda, are found in the park.
The presence of the Sherpas, with their unique culture, adds
further interest to this World Heritage Site (UNESCO) |
