Full Description
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This illuminating Research Agenda opens up current debates and outlines potential developments in participatory mapping, an approach and set of practices relating to people's spatial knowledge and dedicated to spatial and environmental justice. Leading experts analyse scientific, methodological, social-political-cultural and technical issues in participatory mapping and Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS), emphasising ethics and good practice.
Investigating key issues, contested approaches and methodologies, scholars highlight the ethical dimensions of respect, safety and authority of knowledge. Chapters assess PPGIS in citizen science and in affirming identity, with specific applications ranging from mapping indigenous culture and memories, to traditional land management and inclusive urban accessibility. Critiquing both innovative developments such as soundscapes and projection models, as well as established tools such as 3D modelling, remote sensing and phone apps, chapters also address meta issues, including evaluating outcomes and the impacts of AI.
A Research Agenda for Participatory Mapping and PPGIS is a valuable resource for scholars and students of geography, participatory research approaches and politics and public policy. Practitioners looking to implement PPGIS will benefit from its evaluation of current debates and potential developments in the field.
