Public Participation GIS (PPGIS)
How to use:
Objectives
To understand what PPGIS is To describe the principles of PPGIS To apply examples of case studies
and their use in health communication and advocacy
To participate in a PPGIS process
PPGIS is… (1) a study of the uses and applications of
geographic information and/or geographic information systems technology
(2) used by members of the public, both as individuals and grass-root groups,
(3) for participation in public processes (data collection, mapping, analysis and/or decision-making) affecting their lives1.
1 Rutgers (2011)
Principles of PPGIS Enable public access to cultural, economic and biophysical
data generated by governments, private sector organizations and academic institutions;
Is best applied via partnerships developed between individuals, communities, NGOs, academic institutions, governments and the private sector;
Support lifelong learning that helps to bridge the divides that exist between cultures, academic disciplines, gender and class;
Is about sharing the challenges and opportunities of place and situation in a transparent and celebratory manner2.
2 Aberley & Sieber, (2002)
Why use PPGIS in Health Communication and Advocacy?
Bottom-up approach Allows communities to see their space
from a different perspective Visual representation of multiple realities Gives voice to marginalized populations Can be adapted to any setting , low cost Context and issues driven rather than
technology driven
Potential Problems
Can create conflict Participants may lack
polictical, technical and financial control over data and its use
Increased time commitment
