| Summary≠ | Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS), and the related Public Participation GIS (PPGIS), are approaches in which communities themselves create and use spatial data and maps to represent local spatial knowledge for resource management, land and resource tenure, and planning. Spanning a continuum from sketch mapping with sticks and stones on the ground to georeferenced data held in formal GIS, the approach merges the empowering ethos of participatory development, articulated by Robert Chambers, with the analytical and communicative power of geographic information technology. | Stakeholder analysis in development is a structured method for identifying the actors with a stake in an intervention and characterising their interests, power, and influence, so that programmes can be designed and implemented with a clear view of whom they affect and who can affect them. Drawing on the natural-resource-management tradition of Robin Grimble and Kate Wellard and the methodological typology of Mark Reed and colleagues, it employs tools such as the power-interest grid, the influence-importance matrix, and Venn diagrams to make the social landscape of a project explicit. |
