当人道主义工作者开始学习和对话以将地理信息与灾害管理联系起来时，他们面临的活动通常是困难多于有趣。鉴于人道主义工作人员的工作量越来越难以管理，如何加快获取和部署空间数据收集和分析的技能和工具？如何让从业人员体验新工具的价值和局限性？本文提供了一种创新的方法，沉浸在地理信息灾害管理人员：参与式游戏，使利益相关者体验可玩的系统动态模型，连接地理信息，决策和后果的方式，既严肃又有趣。概念框架概述了通过游戏体验学习的基础，与完善的风险管理框架有明确的联系。两个案例研究说明了这一方法：一个涉及通过游戏上游在南部非洲赞比西河洪水管理（物理和数字版本），另一个是关于世界银行关于开放数据恢复能力的培训，该培训将应用即兴活动与理解和部署开放街道地图和InaSAFE等软件工具的需要相结合，以模拟管理学校投资和学童疏散。阿根廷拉普拉塔市的洪水情景。
When humanitarian workers embark on learning and dialogue for linking geoinformation to disaster management, the activities they confront are usually more difficult than interesting. How to accelerate the acquisition and deployment of skills and tools for spatial data collection and analysis, given the increasingly unmanageable workload of humanitarians? How to engage practitioners in experiencing the value and limitations of newly available tools? This paper offers an innovative approach to immerse disaster managers in geoinformation: participatory games that enable stakeholders to experience playable system dynamic models linking geoinformation, decisions and consequences in a way that is both serious and fun. A conceptual framework outlines the foundations of experiential learning through gameplay, with clear connections to a well-established risk management framework. Two case studies illustrate this approach: one involving flood management in the Zambezi river in southern Africa through the game UpRiver (in both physical and digital versions), and another pertaining to World Bank training on open data for resilience that combines applied improvisation activities with the need to understand and deploy software tools like Open Street Map and InaSAFE to manage school investments and schoolchildren evacuation in a simulated flood scenario for the city of La Plata, Argentina.
