“Bridging the Gap – Co-Creating Participatory Geoweb Tools with Vulnerable Communities”
Since the 1970s, participatory mapping has been employed by academics, civil society, and government as a tool and process to engage with and gain insight from non-experts regarding their knowledge, connections, and experiences in relation to a place. This technique is frequently utilized in research with vulnerable communities, including Indigenous Peoples. In this presentation, I will firstly define the term “vulnerable communities,” secondly provide some personal context of my relationship to participatory mapping and its recent developments, thirdly give three examples of participatory mapping projects that we have conducted with Indigenous communities in Canada, and finally discuss some of the challenges associated with their design, development, and sustainability.
