Participatory Planning for Aripo - Mon 7th

Map brought into the GIS Lab for digitization. (A.Thorne. 2016.)

Activities have slowed a bit for the For Aripo By Aripo Project but they do continue in a positive direction. Thus far, the community has decided on three types of maps, Economic, Social and Environmental Vulnerabilities.  The sample map is completed, brought to the Department of Geography and ready to be digitized as a layer of the community.

The next steps are to hang up the confirmed maps of the entire community in the primary school for community members to fill out. There shall be overlays with the different themes outlined for each layer for residents and stakeholders to fill in. The maps shall be in the school for about three weeks to a month.

I am curious as to what areas and points would be labelled on the map so the base map comes to life with points and vectors full of information about Aripo.

Our next meeting, shall be to develop the survey questions which the community would like to ask itself to cover the important issues and opportunities. It is important to understand the final product which the community would like to have achieved to then understand the types of questions to be asked.
