It makes it easier to investigate intricate spatial relationships, community dynamics, and the effects of policies and interventions on local populations. Researchers can also use it to map and analyze the spatial distribution of social concerns, resources, and assets within a community. This Brief delves into the transformative potential of Participatory GIS (PGIS) in empowering communities and amplifying their voices through geospatial technologies. This book provides an in-depth discussion of PGIS, including approaches, data collection techniques, participatory mapping, critical discussions, the concept and thinking of geospatial citizenship, applications of participatory GIS in terms of socio-ecological concern, geographies and socio-spatial ecologies of a societal space, community cartography, challenges, and future directions. The book also offers real-world case studies that leverage PGIS technology to map the voices of ordinary people. Case studies include mapping natural resource management, modelling mangrove forest ecologies, indigenous technical knowledge of fish catching, social vulnerability to climate change in the coastal community, and identification of traditional coastal fishing sites. The book emphasizes the necessity of community involvement in decision-making processes, as well as the awareness of their perspectives in formulating policies and programs, through the lens of PGIS. It highlights how geospatial technologies can be a strong tool for community empowerment, allowing individuals to actively shape their surroundings and build a sense of ownership over their shared spaces. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in GIS,$x2367-0118 606 $aGeography 606 $aGeographic information systems 606 $aSustainability 606 $aGeography 606 $aGeographical Information System 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aGeography. 615 24$aGeographical Information System. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a910.285 700 $aMalakar$b Kousik Das$01379249 702 $aRoy$b Supriya 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910874690503321 996 $aMapping Geospatial Citizenship$94183856 997 $aUNINA
