This document discusses a participatory mapping project in the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve in Honduras to develop a spatial data infrastructure (SDI). The goals were to design a methodology for obtaining cartographic data from indigenous communities through participatory mapping, digitize the data, and create an SDI to share information. Researchers worked with communities to map functional land use, validate maps, and define cadastral boundaries. Spatial databases were developed to organize socio-environmental, cadastral, and natural resource monitoring data. The proposed SDI would allow users to access and edit data through web services and applications to support land management and decision making.

3. 1. Introduction
Why participation of the indigenous communities?
 They are the ones with the best knowledge of the territory.
 Participation improves communication and cooperation.
 Motivation during the participatory decision-making process.
 Participation results in better decisions.

5. 2. Study Area. PROTEP Project
 Heritage of Man and the Biosphere by UNESCO in 1982.
 One of the few remaining tropical rainforest areas in Central America.
 The surface is 900 thousand hectares.
 Population of approximately 150 thousand inhabitants.
 2.000 indigenous people have preserved their traditional way of life.
 Communications within the area are complicated due to mountainous
terrain, and unpaved roads.
 Management and protection of natural resources.
 Land management at the community level.

22. 6. SPATIAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SDBMS)
The design of a database is a complex process which requires:
 To define the main purpose.
 To establish the potential users.
 To identify available data sources.
 To define the organizational
structure or data model.

54. 9. Conclusion
 In the recent years, two important terms : Spatial Data Infrastructure
(SDI) and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI).
 Both terms have difficulties in being implemented in this area due to
the lack of organization and structure regarding cartographic
information.
 It was not possible to set aside the information offered by the ones
with the most direct relation to the field. Indigenous communities.

54 A case study in the Biosphere Reserve Rio Platano (Honduras)

55. 9. Conclusion
 This process is not strictly voluntary, and a different way of
communication is needed; like Participatory mapping technics.
 It was designed a methodology to use the information obtained from
the indigenous communities in GIS software and in the new platform.
 Final result is a platform in which all the agents are connected,
sharing organized cartographic information obtained from all available
sources (i.e. Google maps, OpenStreetMap, national organizations,
regional organizations, NGOs, inhabitants and indigenous
communities).

57. Any Question?
“Maps are more than pieces of paper.
They are stories, conversations, lives
and songs lived out in a place and are
inseparable from the political and
cultural contexts in which they are used.”
(Warren, 2004).
Thank you very much
for your attention!!
