Seeing landscapes with participatory mapping and PGIS

M.K. McCall

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Landscapes are place-specific, context specific, though formed by universal processes, dynamic, formed by social forces, contested and negotiated, and perceptually (re-)interpreted. Landscape discourse requires multiple aspatial and spatial media to represent knowledge. PGIS and P-mapping can handle this range of (local) spatial information. Participatory mapping and PGIS are attuned to ‘seeing landscapes’ because of the modes of operationalisation and procedures employed. Therefore, participatory mapping and PGIS of landscapes can help to bridge the conceptual and functional divides between local ‘users’ and managers of landscape and external policy and planning agents.
