This Publication (and enclosed multimedia resource
kit) is intended to assist researchers, project managers, Participatory
Learning and Action (PLA) and GIS practitioners in enhancing
the capacities of marginalized, isolated, and frequently natural
resource-dependent communities to deal with spatial data and
to communicate with the “outside world” on a peer to peer basis.
Participatory
3-D models integrate people’s knowledge and conventional spatial
information like contour lines, to produce stand-alone scaled
relief models that have proved to be user-friendly and relatively
accurate data storage and analysis devices, and excellent media
easing communication between local stakeholders and external
agencies.
P3DM is a relatively new facilitation method
used in processes related mainly to resource use and tenure
and has been conceived to support collaborative initiatives
aimed at increasing public participation in problem analysis
and decision-making. The method is generally used within projects
or initiatives designed to address spatial issues related to
the territory. Participatory 3-D Modeling offers the opportunity
to produce relatively precise geo-referenced and scaled qualitative
and quantitative data, adding substantial value and communication
power to local knowledge.
The resource book provides hands-on guidelines
on how to organize and implement a P3DM exercise. In addition
it includes insights on adult learning and spatial cognition,
on the history of relief modeling and the analysis of P3DM experiences
in the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand over a period of 15
years.
