This volume provides a framework for evaluating geospatial software
for participatory mapping. The evaluation is based on ten key
indicators: ethics, cost, technical level, inclusiveness, data
accuracy, data privacy, analytical capacity, visualization
capacity, openness, and accessibility (i.e., mobile friendly or
offline capabilities). Each application is evaluated by a user and
cross analyzed with specific case studies of the software’s
real-world application. This framework does not discriminate
against assessing volunteered geographic information (VGI)
applications, as a form of participatory mapping, in circumstances
that its application is spearheaded by underrepresented groups with
the intent to empower and spark political or behavioral change
within formal and informal institutions. Each chapter follows a
strict template to ensure that the information within the volume
can be updated periodically to match the ever-changing
technological environment. The book covers ten different mapping
applications with the goal of creating a comparative evaluation
framework that can be easily interpreted by convening institutions
and novice users. This will also help identify gaps in software for
participatory mapping which will help to inform application
development in the future and updates to current geospatial
software.
