Dr. Robert Chambers
elaborates on Participatory GIS (PGIS) practice
Dr. Chambers from the Institute of Development
Studies (IDS), UK, reflects on the intersection of participatory
development and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and on the
resulting good and bad practices. In the interview he calls on
practitioners and development agencies to ensure that good
practice is put in place to avoid the repetition of the misuse
of PRA (i.e. Participatory Rural Appraisal) done in the 80's and
90's. |
