Participatory GIS uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to involve people in planning and design decisions using their spatial knowledge and discussion of virtual or physical, two or three-dimensional maps and visualisation aides. Discussion, information exchange and joint analysis between stakeholders allows the consideration of different design options alongside negotiation, advocacy or awareness-raising in decision-making processes. The use of Participatory GIS often promotes better integration of social issues with the ecological and technical forestry issues. For example, using maps to indicate and discuss the social use of space by different sections of a community can suggest the best layout for planting plans and provision of additional features and facilities in a regeneration project. Participatory GIS has also been used as an effective tool to discover more about local heritage and cultural values and discuss integration in landscape planning. Participatory GIS can be conducted using digital materials and methods on a computer, but is just as effective using hard copies of maps and other printed materials to support spatially focused discussion. It supports a range of interactive approaches from face-to-face contact to web-based applications.
