Collaborative spatial learning for improving public participation practice in Indonesia

Abstract

We shared and discussed a lot about many things, from our research, concerns about the world, including iii our families. I would like to also thank my other colleagues and friends in ITC for the support and encouragement, especially Rosa M. Aguilar, who collaborated with me during my second fieldwork. Her intelligence in programming and developing software and mapping applications helped me a lot, especially her OGITO tool that we used in the village participatory mapping workshops. I always said to her that the OGITO was not only useful for the villagers to produce their village maps but has also saved almost half of my PhD journey. For Abubakari Zaid, who always asked about my progress and provided his time to read and comment on my paper manuscripts. I also thank all my colleagues in ITC building,
