Participatory GIS and 3D Modeling
The project is arranging partnerships with Participatory 3D Modeling (P3DM) processes which merges conventional spatial information (contours) with people's mental maps to makes information tangible and meaningful-to-all, and visualizes scaled and geocoded indigenous spatial knowledge.
This process will support each one of the local assessments to support collaborative processes related mainly to resource use, tenure and climate change to ensure community participation in problem analysis and decision-making. Following the project Conceptual Framework this strategy will help integrate indigenous people’s knowledge and spatial information to produce stand-alone scale relief models that have proved to be user-friendly and relatively accurate data storage and analysis devices and at the same time excellent communication media.
