CAP PROCESS MAPS: THREAT MAPS During a CAP process, it can be useful to produce maps that show areas where a specific threat (or source of stress) is present and advancing. These maps can be generated by GIS staff by analyzing land-use information, or can be generated in a workshop by participants who draw polygons based on their perceptions. The following slides present an example of such a map, and the type of information that can be shown on the map.
