Participatory GIS implies making GIS available to all CLUP stakeholders, especially those marginalized groups in the municipality/city, in order to enhance their ability in generating, managing, analyzing and communicating information in the following contexts:
- Self-determination (for example, in protecting ancestral land and resource rights and entitlements);
- Management of conflicts among local community groups, and between communities and local authorities with regard to access, use, control and allocation of natural resources;
- Collaborative research and resource use planning and management;
- Good governance in terms of transparency and consensus decision-making with respect to land use;
- Raising awareness and assisting with education and social learning for the younger generation;
- Promotion of equity with reference to ethnicity, culture, gender, environmental justice and hazard mitigation.
