摘要 有人声称，参与式地理信息系统（PGIS）的应用可以增强弱势群体的能力。本文指出，关于“GIS-赋权-边缘化关系”的持续争论对于赋权的特征仍然模糊，并且未能解决如何以逻辑和结构化的方式观察和记录赋权。本文提供并论证了赋权的两个工作定义，区分了赋权和赋权能力。它提出了一个框架来构建赋权分析。该框架将四种赋权催化剂（信息、流程、技能和工具）与两种社会规模（个人和社区）结合起来。
Abstract Claims have been made that the application of participatory geographic information systems (PGIS) can empower disadvantaged groups. This article notes that the ongoing debate in this “GIS-empowerment-marginalization nexus” remains vague about a characterization of empowerment and that it fails to address how empowerment can be observed and recorded in a logical and structured manner. The article offers, and justifies, two working definitions of empowerment, differentiating between empowerment and empowerment capacity. It proposes a framework to structure an analysis of empowerment. The framework combines four catalysts of empowerment (information, process, skills, and tools) with two social scales (individuals and community).
