Participatory 3D Modelling: Guiding Principles and Applications; 2010
Edition
The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA)
recently released a new edition of the handbook "Participatory 3D Modelling:
Guiding Principles and Applications; 2010 Edition :
http://www.iapad.org/p3dm_guiding_principles_2010_en.htm". The Global
Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) supported its French
: http://www.iapad.org/p3dm_guiding_principles_2010_fr.htmand Spanish :
http://www.iapad.org/p3dm_guiding_principles_2010_es.htmversioning. The
documents are now available in three languages as free downloads at high and
medium resolutions.
Participatory three-dimensional modelling (P3DM) is a participatory mapping
method integrating indigenous spatial knowledge with data on elevation of
the land and depth of the sea to produce stand-alone, scaled and
geo-referenced 3D models. Essentially based on recollections from memory,
land use and cover and other features are depicted by informants on the
model by using push pins for points, yarns for lines and paints for
polygons. On completion, a scaled and geo-referenced grid is applied to
facilitate data extraction or importation. Data depicted on the model are
extracted, digitised and plotted. On completion of the mapping exercise, the
model remains with the community.
P3DM has been conceived as a method for bringing the potential of GIS closer
to rural communities and for bridging the gap that exists between geographic
information technologies and capacities found among marginalised and
isolated communities who are frequently dependent on natural resources.
This handbook is intended to assist activists, researchers and practitioners
of participatory learning and action (PLA) and GIS in bringing the power of
GIS to the grassroots level through the use of P3DM. It provides hands-on
guidelines on how to organise and implement a P3DM exercise. In addition it
includes insights on adult learning and spatial cognition, on the history of
relief models and on the use of the method around the world :

On 5 November 2007, P3DM was granted the World Summit Award 2007 :

e-culture. P3DM was considered to be one of the 40 best practice examples of
quality e-content in the world.
