  1. How to use: Public Participation GIS (PPGIS)

  2. 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

  3. PPGISis… • (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. 1Rutgers (2011)

  4. 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)

  5. 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

  6. Potential Problems • Can create conflict • Participants may lack polictical, technical and financial control over data and its use • Increased time commitment

  7. PPGIS – Simple to Complex Community Mapping Participatory 3D Models

  8. PPGIS – Simple to Complex Garfield, NJ Boys and Girls Club - PPGIS Participatory Chinatown, Boston

  9. Bike Share Community Planning – Vancouver, BC • Determine where to situate trial bike shares • Refer to your “character” – bureau of tourism, bike association, interested citizens • Pinpoint spots in downtown Vancouver where you may visit in a typical day • Next Steps
