Giacomo Rambaldi makes a a summary of his involvement in the improvement, development, promotion and dissemination of a participatory mapping method better known asl Participatory 3D Modelling (P3DM).
A 13-minute reportage on the Mapping for Change Conference which took place in Nairobi, Kenya on September 7-10, 2005. The reportage features interviews with Participatory GIS (PGIS) practitioners from around the globe and summarizes the process and outcomes of the event.
In this interview, Peter Poole traces the evolution of a methodology which started with the introduction of GPS to the Inuits in 1989 and evolved via a series of projects in the Amazon, the Arctic and Asia. Tenure maps depict indigenous names, resources and special places on scaled maps for use in negotiating processes. Peter describes the search for cheap, simple, appropriate geomatic technology. Community-based teams gather raw field data, and support NGOs set up mapping units to serve the field teams. Peter’s highlights: (i) communities can make their own scaled maps, (ii) mapping centres should make their services accessible to all communities, (iii) this methodology produces a tenure map, and inspires communities to diversify their skills in environmental information management.
Dave De Vera is the Executive Director of the Philippine Association For Intercultural Development (PAFID). In his interview Dave elaborates on the use of Participatory GIS practice in the Philippines to support indigenous communities in filing ancestral land claims. He elaborates on the mapping methods used, explains why P3DM is the most effective, and arguments on the need for local ownership of the process, competency of the technology intermediary, quality work, and constructive relationships with Government. Dave further lists cases of PAFID / Government partnerships and analyses the pillars of process legitimization.
Dr. Robert Chambers from the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), UK, reflects on the intersection of participatory development and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and on the resulting good and bad practices. In the interview Dr. Chambers calls on practitioners and development agencies to ensure that good practice is put in place to avoid the repetition of the misuse of PRA (i.e. Participatory Rural Appraisal) done in the 80's and 90's.

Reportage over actieve bewoners uit de Bijlmer voor het behoudt van hun Bijlmerpark.
Online uitgezonden via NPS new Arrivals 5e ronde 2009
tien minuten waarin de algehele tendens mbt bomen en bomenkap in kaart is gebracht met het Bijlmerpark als voorbeeld. De vraag is ; hoe creeren we een keerpunt ?
Het antwoord ligt mede in de houding van bestuurders en politici en wat Amsterdam betreft in de Hoofd Groen Structuur. Deze HGS zit echter sinds kort in een nieuw jasje .... en dat jasje kleurt niet meer groen.
