本文介绍了一种新的参与式地理信息系统(PGIS)方法的结果，该方法旨在支持加勒比小社区的脆弱性和灾害风险管理工作。该方法通过循序渐进的方法将社区脆弱性测绘与地理参照的家庭数据结合起来，以记录有关家庭脆弱性和社区危险的信息。我们使用了部分地理信息系统来展示在外部推动者的参与下实施参与式测绘技术的好处，该推动者承担了测绘过程中地理信息系统方面的技术工作。结果表明，作为知识共同生产和利益攸关方参与的工具，公共信息系统可用于记录关于脆弱性和危险的当地空间知识，同时支持制定减少风险和脆弱性的措施。通过帮助社区成员了解和管理脆弱性，这一办法有可能成为支持加勒比小社区减少脆弱性和减少灾害风险管理战略的重要机制。按照本文所述的方法，类似的活动可以很容易地在世界其他地区复制。
This paper describes the findings of a novel participatory geographic information systems (PGISs) methodology designed to support vulnerability and disaster risk management (DRM) efforts in small Caribbean communities. The methodology combines community vulnerability mapping with geo-referenced household data through a step-by-step approach to record information on household vulnerability and community hazards. We used partial PGIS to demonstrate the benefits of implementing a participatory mapping technique with an external facilitator who undertook the technical geographic information system aspects of the mapping process. Results show that as a tool for knowledge co-production and stakeholder engagement, PGIS can be useful to record local spatial knowledge on vulnerability and hazards whilst supporting the development of risk and vulnerability reduction measures. By helping community members understand and manage vulnerability, this approach has the potential to become an important mechanism to support vulnerability reduction and DRM strategies in small Caribbean communities. Following the approach described in this paper, similar activities can be easily replicated in other parts of the world.
