- Participatory 3D Modelling: a review ...
- In 1993, the Chiang Mai University organized a workshop ...
- ... in Thailand, inviting representatives from the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, ...
- ... where they trained NGO representatives in Participatory 3D Modelling.
- Since then a lot of models were done in the Philippines ...
- ... in the context of indigenous territories.
- And there are a couple of NGOs, which were quite active in the field: ...
- ... PAFID being one, Green Forum Visayas, and AnthroWatch, to name a few.
- They developed 3D models, generally at 1:5000 scale, of ancestral territories.
- The documents, which were produced, the maps, ...
- ... were used to claim ancestral rights on given territories.
- This led later on also to the issuance of ancestral domain titles.
- Let's say that in the Philippines, there is a quite favourable legal environment ...
- ... for community mapping, in the sense that to claim ancestral rights, ...
- ... indigenous communities have to prepare a number of documents.
- There is a law - the IPRA Law (Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act) - ...
- ... and quite clear requirements were spelled out.
- In using 3D models coupled with GPS and GIS facilities, ...
- ... the indigenous groups, with the assistance of technology intermediaries, NGOs ...
- ... were able to produce the documents necessary for the claims.
- In 1996, I was working in the Philippines, and I started considering doing 3D models ...
- ... because I saw some, which were done by these NGOs.
- I worked a lot in terms of improving the coding systems ...
- ... and the extraction process.
- I developed a dedicated website and also manuals, ...
- ... which raised worldwide interest about the methodology.
- Personally, I thought that this was a real breakthrough ...
- ... in terms of community empowerment, and so, I invested a lot of my private time ...
- ... and resources to develop this Internet interfaces.
- I must say that has been extremely successful.
- One manual, which I produced with some colleagues and was published within a project
- ... I was working for, has been downloaded about 24,000 times.
- Wherever I go in the world, people ask me: "Do you have this document?"
- I say: "Yes, you got it from the Internet, from my website."
- I did also some training in other countries like Vietnam, ...
- ... where a lot of our models have done since then, particularly by WWF.
- I did training in the Pacific, in Fiji, also through WWF.
- Now, there are replications, which are being done ...
- ... in Papua New Guinea and in other countries in the Pacific.
- A number of models have been done in Latin America: ...
- ... in Peru, in Colombia, and in Nicaragua.
- Now, major agencies are adopting the method as a planning tool, ...
- ... as a tool to negotiate boundaries, as a tool to deal with conflict resolution, ...
- ... and as a tool to map out local knowledge and preserve intangible cultural heritage.
- This exercise we are doing now here in Africa (Kenya) is the first of its kind.
- This is the first 3D model, which has been developed in Africa.
- The exercise was done with the intention of training representatives ...
- ... from NGOs in English-speaking countries, and we have 14 of them who are with us.
- I'm sure that some of them will replicate the methodology in their respective countries.
- There are other exercises, which we are planning in French-speaking Africa ...
- ... and also Southern Africa, ...
- ... to further consolidate the skills among key players in the different regions.
- There will be also exercises in the Caribbean because the Caribbean falls ...
- ... under the mandate of the organisation I'm working for.
- In November 2007, Participatory 3D Modelling was granted the World Summit Award (WSA 2007) in the category e-culture).
- The method has been considered as one of the 40 best practice examples of quality e-content in the world.
