Participatory GIS

= maps to improve participation from ‘silent

majority’

to identify land use conflicts in Portsmouth

+Structure

Case study: Coastal conflicts in Portsmouth

Methods usedFace-to-face surveySummer FairOnline survey

Recommendations

+Case study

+Farlington Marshes

Langstone Harbour

British, European and International designations (SSSI, SPA, SAC, and Ramsar)

Reclaimed three centuries ago

+Farlington Marshes

+Aims

Assess value of vulnerable open spaces

Assess flood knowledge

Understand perception of space regarding flood risks

+Face-to-face methodologies

+Face-to-face survey:Open space users and/or Farlington Marshes users, stakeholders

45 questions

15 minutes

2 types of mapping activities

162 interviews

In-depth qualitative data from each participants

Includes “silent majority”

Time consuming

Surveys only small sample, and quite short survey

Relies on the weather

:(:)

+Summer fair survey:Open space users and/or Farlington Marshes users, stakeholders

Organised by Portsmouth Climate Action Network

1 sunny day

Around 60 participants for each of the 4 activities

+ :(:)

Can reach more diverse population:FamiliesYoung peopleLess frequent park

users ..

Needs lots of people to man the activities

Relies on the fair organisers .. and weather!

Limited data from each participant

+Online survey

+Online surveyGeneral public, open space users and/or Farlington Marshes users and stakeholders

Aims to:

Attract all population in Portsmouth

Potentially get a bigger sample

+Add markers - Coding

Map:

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), options);

Add marker:

google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, "click", function(event)

var latlng = marker.getPosition();

Lat = latlng.lat() / Lon = latlng.lng()

For 1 location only

+Issues

+Issues specific to this method

Technical

Extensive time to clear the database

Not enough completed surveys

Loss of some data

Design

Too long survey

Loss of interest

Too many questions:

No clear focus

+Recommendations

+Recommendations/suggestions

Shorter survey (5 minutes)

Focus survey on one issue

Finding gatekeepers while starting the coding

Organise hands-on sessions? (University / community centre)
