Participatory Mapping: A Review by Karen Greenwood Introduction Why maps? Maps are tools that shape our perception of place. All humanity ... is challenged to protect, enhance [and] create healthy social and natural environments. Community mapping provides an inclusive and graphic framework for people to affirm and pool their experiences and knowledge about their home place. (Common Ground, Victoria, B.C.)

Through participatory mapping, local experience and knowledge about issues become a valuable resource base for researchers and managers inside and outside the community. Mapping helps communities to "analyse the linkages, patterns and inter-relationships of land use (FAO)." Articles in Indigenous Knowledge and Development Monitor emphasize the role that indigenous knowledge must play in sustainable resource management. The Women's Environmental Network reminds us that when local people make their own maps, they inform themselves, each other, and researchers and managers, and become equal consultants in policies and practices. In the last couple of decades, community participatory mapping has taken off in many directions. I became familiar with the mapping tools included in Participatory Rural Appraisal during a community analysis that I helped to conduct among nomadic pastoralists in West Africa. I recently investigated several different methodologies. From conventional geographic representations of areas of land to more metaphorical maps of community relationships, and asset and problem analysis, mapping techniques are so numerous that this article will not attempt cover them all, or in detail. I will instead describe different methodologies while encouraging the reader to further explore the publications and websites listed in the bibliography. PRA/PLA - Influenced Maps Robert Chambers, a long-time proponent of Participatory Rural Appraisal, explains that participatory methods work through reversals of orientation, activity and relationships in the research arena, from an exclusive, top-down investigation to an inclusive group collaboration (Chambers 1997:130). Chambers suggests that resource mapping was one of the first participatory tools to make its way, in the early 80s, from traditional anthropological research through Rapid Rural Appraisal to PRA (ibid:132). In the mid-90s, PRA morphed into Participatory Learning and Action to reflect a more inclusive vision of process and place in participatory development: participation is appropriate in urban areas as well as rural, and throughout a project, from appraisal to evaluation. The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) manual A Trainer's Guide for Participatory Learning and Action provides comprehensive discussion of the participatory theory and methodology evolved from PRA. The authors, Pretty, et al., begin their methodology section with diagramming, which includes concrete objectives and instruction for different types of mapping exercises (1995:79-83). In PRA/PLA, most maps are created by community members, usually on the ground with natural, found materials such as sticks, stones and seeds, even goat and sheep manure. Baas writes in Introducing PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) for poverty analysis among pastoral herders in rural areas of Mongolia that, though the weather was cold, "the one map drawn on the ground was extremely good, allowed greater participation and gathered interest from passers by." For the purposes of reporting maps are redrawn on paper while carefully preserving the integrity of the maps on the ground. Maps are often photographed, though photographs do not always show detail well in publication. It should be noted, however, that maps do not have to be drawn on the ground. Participants may feel more comfortable working with markers on paper.

Though PRA maps can be quite accurate (c.f. Chambers 1997:144), their focus is not on accuracy but on the perspectives of the maps authors. Different maps, made by different groups in the community, will show different perspectives of the social and geographical spaces of the community. Such maps may be used to start dialogues, negotiation and collaboration between stakeholder groups. The following are some examples of PRA/PLA maps. The list is inexhaustible simply because new maps may always be invented to answer specific questions of particular communities. Geographical Maps The most common type of mapping in PRA is the Resource Map. It identifies
