Integrated Approaches to Participatory Development (IAPAD) - Participatory Avenues

IAPAD acts as focal point for sharing information and technical progress on community-based mapping and Participatory GIS (PGIS). The website provides documentation on Participatory 3D Modelling (P3DM), an efficient tool for merging indigenous spatial knowledge and traditional spatial information. P3DM applications include community-based natural resources management, collaborative research and planning, resource use, control and tenure, and related conflict management.
