1. How to use:

2.  To understand what PPGIS is  To describe the principles of PPGIS  To apply examples of case studies and their use in health communication and advocacy  To participate in a PPGIS process

3.  (1) a study of the uses and applications of geographic information and/or geographic information systems technology  (2) used by members of the public, both as individuals and grass-root groups,  (3) for participation in public processes (data collection, mapping, analysis and/or decision- making) affecting their lives 1. 1 Rutgers (2011)

4.  Enable public access to cultural, economic and biophysical data generated by governments, private sector organizations and academic institutions;  Is best applied via partnerships developed between individuals, communities, NGOs, academic institutions, governments and the private sector;  Support lifelong learning that helps to bridge the divides that exist between cultures, academic disciplines, gender and class;  Is about sharing the challenges and opportunities of place and situation in a transparent and celebratory manner 2. 2 Aberley & Sieber, (2002)

5.  Bottom-up approach  Allows communities to see their space from a different perspective  Visual representation of multiple realities  Gives voice to marginalized populations  Can be adapted to any setting, low cost  Context and issues driven rather than technology driven

6.  Can create conflict  Participants may lack polictical, technical and financial control over data and its use  Increased time commitment
