Participatory
GIS…
is the result of
a spontaneous merger of Participatory Learning
and Action (PLA) methods with Geographic Information
Technologies and Systems (GIT&S) to compose
peoples’ spatial knowledge in the forms of virtual
or physical, 2 or 3 dimensional maps used as
interactive vehicles for discussion, information
exchange, analysis and as support in advocacy,
decision making and action taking.
PGIS practice is usually geared
towards community empowerment through measured,
demand-driven, user-friendly and integrated
applications of GIT&S, where maps become a major
conduit in the process.

Spatial Learning
and the Vertical Dimension
Human
cognition includes sensation and perception,
thinking, imagery, reasoning and problem solving,
memory, learning and language. Location, size,
distance, direction, shape, pattern, movement
and inter-object relations are part of the spatial
world as we know and conceive it. Cognitive
maps are internal representation of the world
and its spatial properties stored in memory.
Frequently referred to as mental maps, they
allow us to know ‘what is out there, what its
attributes are, where it is and how to get there’
