GIS for Participation: The UK context – successes and challenges… Steve Cinderby

What is GIS-P? • Used for creating dialogue between local stakeholder, planners, modellers and policy makers – to improve decision outcomes High Level of public involvement in spatial analysis Powderhorn Park Neighbourhood Association (Casey & Pederson, 2002) Participatory GIS South PPGIS of Market Foundation (Parker & Pascavl, 2002) Internet GIS Virtual Slaithwaite (Kingston, 2002) GIS-P Air Quality GIS-P (Yearley, 2002) Low Low High Level of local knowledge incorporated in database steve.cinderby@sei.se

Salford Case Study steve.cinderby@sei.se

What do the communities know…? • Residents fear of crime in secluded areas • Fear of crime does not match reported crime pattern steve.cinderby@sei.se

GIS for Participation • Conventional focus group – with participatory mapping activities • Good for creating discussion and dialogue • Use of GIS facilitated by researchers • GIS functionality employed to store, analyse and visualise community spatial knowledge • Outputs comparable with results from environmental models steve.cinderby@sei.se

Rapid Appraisal Participatory GIS • Development of GIS-P • In-situ, multi-temporal GIS-P • Good for accessing ‘hard-to-reach’ groups • Allows rapid scoping of local knowledge, concerns and possible solutions • Less control and discussion than GIS-P steve.cinderby@sei.se

Generating options for the future… steve.cinderby@sei.se

What do people want to see happen? Business-as-usual Pedestrian priority • GIS and visualisation used to aid participation • Help the community communicate their viewpoint steve.cinderby@sei.se

Challenges: Participation or consultation? Whose analysis and use? •How to get real participation on UK planning and environment issues – not just consultation? •Participation overload – one community map – many applications… steve.cinderby@sei.se

Challenges for UK Environmental GIS-P • Does a common viewpoint acquired through living in the same space really make a community? •How should we deal with different communities understanding of the same issues for decision making and policy setting? (local residents, special interest groups, scientific experts) steve.cinderby@sei.se
