这篇文章及其介绍的论文集讨论了参与式测绘(PM)在拉丁美洲的发展和使用。这种方法植根于参与者观察和协作研究，代表了接受过与研究人员、促进者或团队一起进行研究或应用工作的培训的当地人的最充分参与。PM将认知空间知识转化为地图和描述性形式。有两种类型：一种类型，包括参与性行动研究地图(PARM)和参与性农村评估地图(PRAM)，使用地图来开展社会行动；另一种类型，参与性研究地图(PRM)，旨在进行研究。PM方法是在研究拉丁美洲土著人口的地理学家和人类学家中发展起来的。文集中的文章详细介绍了五个不同的PM项目，这些项目与大约20个不同的土著居民合作，他们生活在该地区一些最重要的保护区，如莫斯基蒂亚、韦拉瓜斯、达里安和亚马逊西部。这些项目展示了PM如何成为一项广泛的研发工作的“基石活动”。这种收集地理信息的新方法正在帮助满足各种研究和社会需求。事实上，一些应用程序的卓越结果甚至挑战了关于地图知识构建的最根深蒂固的规范。
This article, and the collection of essays it introduces, discusses the development and use of participatory mapping (PM) in Latin America. The methodology, with roots in participant observation and collaborative research, represents the fullest involvement of local people who are trained to do research or applied work with the researcher, facilitator, or team. PM transforms cognitive spatial knowledge into map and descriptive forms. Two types exist: one type, including participatory action research mapping (PARM) and participatory rural appraisal mapping (PRAM), uses mapping for social action; the other, participatory research mapping (PRM), aims at research. The PM approach developed among geographers and anthropologists studying indigenous populations in Latin America. The articles in the collection detail five different PM projects working with about 20 different indigenous populations, living in some of the region’s most important conservation lands in Mosquitia, Veraguas, Darien, and western Amazonia. The projects show how PM has become a “keystone activity” in a wide range of research and development work. This novel methodology for collecting geographic information is helping to meet a variety of research and societal needs. Indeed, the superior results from some applications challenge even the most deeply rooted norms about the construction of cartographic knowledge.
