Community Mapping in Africa

Mark Iliffe: Horizon Digital Economy CDT Jeremy Morley: Nottingham Geospatial Inst. Robert Houghton: Human Factors Research Grp.

Perkins (2007) “ local mapping, produced collaborat ively by local people and oft en incorporat ing alt ernat ive local knowledge” ,“ … empowers communit ies” – Hagen (2011) Aberley (1993) and King and Clifford (1985) produces an agenda for community mapping:

• Reasserting indigenous people's rights
• Re-publishing the past for contemporary consumption advancing local claims to land
• Re-mapping lost place-names
• Protecting local wildlife in the face of development
• Conserving landscapes threatened by agribusiness
• Protesting against planners
• Opposing military power
• Rej ecting surveillance
• S

howing the powers-that -be what might be locally distinctive. Hence, by nature, Community Mapping = Volunteered Geographic Information

HOW DO YOU MEASURE QUALITY WHEN THERE IS NO COMPARATIVE DATASET?

Work Domain Analysis

• Understand the system with a holistic

approach, not just what happens, but what are the drivers and ‘values’ of the system to the physical objects.

– Rassmussen et. al (1994) and Vicente (1999)

Future Work

• Thematic Mapping, understand the quality

attributes and methodologies of Thematic Quality

• “Go all the way” with Work Domain Analysis

– Getting past first base: Going all the way with Cognitive Work Analysis, McIlroy, R and Stanton,

• N. Applied Ergonomics (2011)
• Mark is in Dar es Salaam at present to test

effects of permeation in the community
