Orientation
n front of the blank model,
refresh informants on the objectives of the exercise, explain
the process of plotting "mental maps" and remind
them of the importance of making reference to the legend in
choosing colors and symbols. |
 |
|
This is a critical process that
follows peoples' natural orientation mechanisms and allows the
informants to get a progressively deeper grasp of their
whereabouts vis-à-vis the model. |
Depicting Mental Maps
Key informants are invited to
locate and name in sequential order: water courses, mountain
peaks, islets, roads, trails, social infrastructures and other
landmarks they use to orient themselves when moving around
within their domains.
