CONCLUSIONS


Why participation of the indigenous communities?

They are the ones with the best knowledge of the territory.

Participation improves communication and cooperation.

Motivation during the participatory decision-making process.

Participation results in better decisions.

2. Study Area. PROTEP Project


Heritage of Man and the Biosphere by UNESCO in 1982.

One of the few remaining tropical rainforest areas in Central America.

The surface is 900 thousand hectares.

Population of approximately 150 thousand inhabitants.

2.000 indigenous people have preserved their traditional way of life.

Communications within the area are complicated due to mountainous

terrain, and unpaved roads.

Management and protection of natural resources.

Land management at the community level.

4. Objectives

Design the methodology to obtain information from the

indigenous communities:

Cadastral.

Socio-environmental information.

Methodology of digitizing. GIS software.

6. Parcel Title



The Functional Habitat is the area that the community uses to supply their basic needs.

PPGIS (Participatory GIS)

Right to Use: It is defined by the Functional Habitat of the indigenous community.

Ownership Right: It is the legal term which defines the property of a piece of land.

SIMONI – Integral Monitoring System

Platform to measure the management effectiveness of the Reserve.

It was designed for incorporating alphanumerical information to define environmental indexes.

It was developed the cartographic tool.


Conversion to GIS symbology

It is necessary to transform the image format from .tiff to .svg, which is the format used by QuantumGIS to show symbology.


6. SPATIAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SDBMS)


The design of a database is a complex process which requires:

To define the main purpose.

To establish the potential users.

To identify available data sources.

To define the organizational

structure or data model.

STANDARDS

Web Map Service (WMS): The response to the request is one or more geo-

registered map images (returned as JPEG, PNG, etc).

Web Feature Service (WFS): The WFS standard defines interfaces and operations for

data access and manipulation on a set of geographic features.

Web Coverage Service (WCS): defines a standard interface and operations that

enables interoperable access to geospatial "coverages".

9. Conclusion


RELATION AMONG AGENTS

Municipalities

ICF Offices

Other entities

Inhabitants of the Region

NGO´s


In the recent years, two important terms : Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI).

Both terms have difficulties in being implemented in this area due to the lack of organization and structure regarding cartographic information.

It was not possible to set aside the information offered by the ones with the most direct relation to the field. Indigenous communities.

9. Conclusion


This process is not strictly voluntary, and a different way of communication is needed; like Participatory mapping technics.

It was designed a methodology to use the information obtained from the indigenous communities in GIS software and in the new platform.

Final result is a platform in which all the agents are connected, sharing organized cartographic information obtained from all available sources (i.e. Google maps, OpenStreetMap, national organizations, regional organizations, NGOs, inhabitants and indigenous communities).

Thank you very much for your attention!!

“Maps are more than pieces of paper. They are stories, conversations, lives and songs lived out in a place and are inseparable from the political and cultural contexts in which they are used.” (Warren, 2004).
