GeoS4S Module Community and Participatory GIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Community and Participatory GIS (CP-GIS) is an approach that involves groups and communities in the process of creating geospatial information systems to address their own local problems. CP-GIS often involves working with stakeholders from remote, impoverished or marginalized groups who lack the technological resources and the expertise to use traditional GIS. This teaching module employs case studies and interactive exercises to introduce the philosophy, values, methods and tools used in CP-GIS. Its high• /eve/ goal is to prepare the student for leading or contributing to real world CP-GIS projects. The current paper summarizes the learning objectives, lesson content, learning activities and evaluation scheme for this module.
