Participatory GIS,
Mapping and Visualization in Local-level Spatial
Planning
Short Course for professionals and
graduate students
Duration: 3 weeks 27th March to 24th April 2006
Location: ITC, Enschede, The Netherlands
http://www.itc.nl
Coordinators: Dr. Michael K. McCall and Drs. Jeroen
Verplanke
Costs: Fees Euros 1000.00
Living Costs for 3 weeks will be approx. Euros 500 to
600
Introduction
The module brings together 3 current threads in spatial
planning:
 |
Participatory spatial planning &
management (PSP) in land & land resources has a new
dynamic of empowerment and good governance
imperatives.
|
|
|
Dynamics of land resource changes
cause planners to deal with many conflicts; shifting
interests, changes in power balance and spatial
economies.
|
|
|
Participatory mapping & P-GIS,
together with appropriate visualization techniques,
give insight into spatial conflicts problems.
|
Contents
These threads will be your guidance within the context
of:
|
|
Issues in participatory spatial
planning & management.
|
|
|
Concepts of indigenous spatial
knowledge.
|
|
|
Processes of conflict analysis
including information tools, conflict types, and
stakeholder characteristics and interests.
|
You will use the following tools &
techniques in this course:
|
|
Participatory spatial data
acquisition, participatory mapping, PRA.
|
|
|
GPS, mobile GIS, Arc-Pad, field data
recording and data preparation.
|
|
|
Visualization of spatial
relationships, spatial conflicts, interactive
mapping.
|
|
|
Conflict management processes, e.g.
types of conflict resolution, and policy
instruments.
|
|
|
Applications of participatory mapping
& P-GIS to e.g. conflict mapping, customary
entitlements to land & NRM; community environmental
mapping.
|
Objectives
Upon completion of this module students should be able
to:
|
|
Understand the context of PSP &
collaborative management.
|
|
|
Recognize the value of indigenous
spatial knowledge.
|
|
|
Use various tools/techniques to
elicit spatial indigenous knowledge, including
participatory mapping.
|
|
|
Understand and utilize the basics of
GPS, and Arc Pad in a Mobile GIS, for field data
recording.
|
|
|
Independently map and/or visualize
the major issues in a given spatial conflict.
|
|
|
Utilize appropriate basic software
for visualization of spatial data, in new graphics
software, and interactive, dynamic mapping.
|
|
|
Assess application of these tools in
PSP and collaborative management.
