2.6.3 Traditional Knowledge GIS<br />

Traditional knowledge GIS is designed to document and utilize local knowledge <strong>of</strong> communities<br />

around the world. Traditional knowledge includes the experiences <strong>of</strong> a particular culture or society.<br />

Traditional knowledge GIS is richer than ordinary maps in the sense that they express environmental<br />

and spiritual relationships among real and conceptual entities.<br />
