“…In this regard we recognise that different user groups are likely to have different needs and that wider social attitudes are likely to impinge often in quite subtle ways on public attitudes to the potential use of PPGIS as a planning tool. Although the first phase of PPGIS research during the 1990s focused to a large extent on the technical challenges of these systems (Craig et al, 2002b), and studies are now expanding into areas that deal with contextualised and issue based studies (see Ghose & Huxhold, 2001), there is a need to develop more theoretically informed empirical studies that explore how wider social attitudes impinge on the potential uptake of GIS within public participation settings.…”

The paper draws on an empirical study of two workshops in which the issues that arise from the use of GIS as a planning tool in public participation settings where explored by local residents who take an active interest in local planning matters in their London borough. The paper demonstrates how issues concerned with the democratisation of GIS and Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) informed the structure and conduct of the workshops and the qualitative analysis of the workshop discussions. Key themes raised by participants include the potential of PPGIS as a means of extending knowledge networks; issues of data ownership and the responsiveness of data providers to public concerns, and the role that institutional norms and practices play in democratising information availability and the transparency of the decision-making process. The paper concludes that the potential of PPGIS as a planning tool cannot be separated from public concerns about the legitimacy of the planning process or local government.2

“…This is the only way to generate ready-to-use primary datasets from a country that results difficult, if not impossible, to access to, in the current political situation. The participation of the DoA in the design of the training courses is fundamental for the development of a standard protocol of site recording and monitoring, thus giving an active scope to the application of technologies like remote sensing and GIS for the cultural heritage preservation, as it has been shown to have been successful in other disciplines (Ghose and Huxhold 2001).…”

“…Public participation in GIS (PPGIS) has been used in marginalized communities in the United States (Elwood, 2006;Ghose & Huxhold, 2008) and in informal communities in South Africa (Abbott, 2003) to empower local communities, to generate data needed by the community to make more informed planning decisions, and to upgrade the communities. The case of Zatra illustrates similar objectives of using GIS technology for community empowerment and decision making, although public participation and citizen training on GIS technology was not a primary activity of this project.…”
