Participatory Mapping places people, communities and stakeholders at the centre of open deliberative processes that examine how and where ecosystem services and societal benefits can be realised. Participatory Mapping can be defined as the gathering and mapping of spatial and non-spatial information by diverse stakeholder groups to help communities learn, discuss, build consensus, identify trade-offs and make decisions about their natural resources. Participatory Mapping uses direct means of co-producing knowledge with stakeholders as legitimate active partners in the mapping process and facilitates the mapping of local activities, natural or anthropocentric features, benefits and social values.
This page provides updates on current and completed Participatory Mapping projects and shares publicly available outputs from these projects which have been undertaken by Daryl Burdon Ltd. and their Associates.
ONGOING PROJECTS
Participatory mapping activities within Sea The Value aim to:
• Explore the links between marine ecosystems (natural capital) and the wide range of benefits they provide, in the context of local communities.
• Explore the trade- offs between benefit provision under different management interventions and scenarios.
• Understand how communities can access, use and benefit from the natural capital and design future schemes that improve biodiversity and social welfare.
