“…Due to the recentness of this transition, a large body of work has yet to emerge. However, the research that has been published is promising in opening even further lines of inquiry with sketch mapping to more realistically represent lived experiences and how they shape perception, behavior, and subsequent outcomes based on numerous variables such as socio‐economic standing, employment, religion, gender, race, and sexual orientation (Boschmann and Cubbon ; Raanan and Shoval ; Singer and Bickel ; Pearsall and others ; White and Green ). Though not always the case, often such progress has been made not only with epistemological shifts, but with methodological advances as well.…”

Transcribing from the Mind To the Map: Tracing the Evolution of a Concept

Transcribing what is held in one's mind to a tangible map is experiencing a multidisciplinary renewal. Sketch mapping is being utilized to identify a range of community concerns, as well as for more generally revealing otherwise invisible landscapes. Whether the aim is to understand preference, perception, knowledge, or behavior, the result is some form of map. The genesis of this concept is usually attributed to seminal work in the 1960s and 1970s geography, planning, and environmental psychology. However, its resurgence in the past decade has been driven by a confluence of recent methodological and epistemological developments across numerous disciplines surrounding the role of local knowledge in ecological frameworks and how this can be mapped and analyzed with and without geospatial technologies. With growing adoption of sketch mapping well beyond its initial disciplinary niches, it is appropriate to review its evolution in order to inform ongoing and future research.

“…For example, studies used sketch maps to analyze individuals 'perceptions of neighborhood boundaries (Campbell et al 2009;Coulton et al 2013), to investigate individuals' perceptions of crime and fear (Curtis 2012;Curtis et al 2014;Matei and Ball-Rokeach 2005). Sketch maps were also used to study the changing perceptions of youths after their transition from a university neighborhood to a university campus (Pearsall et al 2015) or to investigate students' knowledge of libraries (Horan 1999) Several studies about individuals' perceptions of natural hazards have also used sketch maps. Thus, they have been used to capture individuals' perception of landslide risk (DeChano and Butler, 2001) volcanic risk (Gaillard 2008;Gaillard et al 2001;Leone and Lesales 2009), flood risk (Brennan et al 2016;Brilly and Polic 2005;O'Neill, Brennan et al 2015;O'Neill et al 2016;Pagneux et al 2011;Ruin et al 2007) and coastal flood risk (Cheung et al 2016).…”

Background: This study analyzes individuals' perceptions of areas exposed to coastal flooding at a local level using sketch mapping methodology. In this way, 318 individuals were surveyed in four coastal municipalities in France (Barneville-Carteret, Saintes-Maries-de-lamer , Châtelaillon-Plage and Sainte-Anne). We assessed the disagreement between expert estimates and individuals' perceptions of areas exposed to coastal flooding using sketch mapping indicators. We also determined the relationships between individuals' living environments and the way they perceived the spatial extent of coastal flooding. Results: Respondents were likely to under-assess the exposure of areas that are actually exposed according to expert hazard maps. Perceived distance to coastal flooding areas appeared to be a predominant factor in assessing individuals' perceptions. Conclusions: Local preventive actions could take into account the individuals' tendency to underestimate the areas exposed to coastal flooding. Individual perception of the spatial extent of coastal flooding appeared to be more influenced by the perceived distance of the home to exposed areas than the objective distance. It is a result that raises the question about the individuals' understanding of hazard maps and regulatory maps. This may necessitate the improvement of the appropriation of these documents by the inhabitants by involving them more closely in the application and decision process that directly concerns.

“…Ghose's (2007) study of the use of GIS by neighborhood groups in Milwaukee, for example, finds that some groups made use of GIS to gain political traction but also that, while flexible, the new networks created by these groups remained uneven and hierarchical. Empirically, PPGIS has relied on multiple tools to solicit community participation and input, including sketch mapping (Boschmann & Cubbon, 2014;Cinderby, 2010;Pearsall et al, 2015) tools for digital data collection (Brovelli et al, 2016;Verplanke et al, 2016) and online visualization tools (Hall et al, 2010;Shannon & Walker, 2018).…”

Community Geography offers researchers, community groups, and students opportunities to engage in action oriented applied geographical research. Creating and sustaining these research programs can be challenging, programs can involve many partners from both academic and the community, have different goals and purposes, and utilize a variety of methods to perform research. In this paper we offer a framework of three primary overarching principles for implementing CG projects; (1) Who, (2) Why, and (3) How. (1) “Who” describes who is involved in CG, including researchers, community partners, academic institutions, (2) “Why” describes the justifications and benefits of taking this approach. (3) “How” explains how CG borrows methodologies from many disciplines within geography and beyond. Our examples are not exhaustive; rather, they serve as starting points to inspire researchers interested in CG.
