[edit] COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and related technologies are starting to have a significant impact on the communities which use them. This book looks at this impact and how communities have used this technology to their own advantage.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and related technologies are beginning to have a significant impact on the communities which participate in them. A number of issues are emerging of concern to academics, professionals and community users of GIS, and these are also seen in the broader GIS and society databases and the relationship between communities geographic information technology and public policy. Information technology is significantly affecting society, and often to the disadvantage of low income and marginalised communities. Yet there are numerous incidences in the US and around the world where communities have taken control of the technology and used it to there own advantage. Much of this book is a presentation of detailed case studies and provides models that can be replicated by other communities, which reflect on public participation in GIS concepts, best practices and constraints and opportunities. There is a focus on the conceptual and practical issues arising from the intersection of GIS with participants.
