Abstract
We present a case study of Social Mapping and Participatory Cartography over a shaded territory in Buenos Aires City, Argentina. The project "Caminos de la Villa" was possible thanks to the collaboration of multiple NGOs that worked together to provide visibility on development issues in poor neighborhoods, commonly called "Villas" and "Asentamientos". We take a critical perspective on how developing such tools are embedded of expectation, negotiations and interactions between actors. Doing ethnographic research and documentation analysis, we found that the value for residents is not in the tool itself but in the appropriation process and empowering, led by acquiring new knowledge at working collectively.
我们提出了一个在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯市阴影区域的社会测绘和参与式制图的案例研究。“Caminos de la Villa”项目之所以能够实现,要归功于多个非政府组织的合作,它们共同努力,为贫困社区(通常被称为“别墅”和“Asentamientos”)的发展问题提供能见度。我们将以批判的视角来看待如何将这些工具的开发嵌入到参与者之间的期望、谈判和互动中。在进行人种学研究和文献分析时,我们发现居民的价值不在于工具本身,而在于拨款过程和授权,通过集体工作获得新知识。
