Dr. Robert Chambers elaborates on Participatory
GIS (PGIS) practice
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.
