Using PPGIS to Involve Citizens in Urban Policy Planning
HUANG, Chao- meng J., LEE, Chung-pin
Abstract
The public participation geographical information system (PPGIS) has become one of
the hottest innovations for civil society activity. It enables the public to contribute local
geographical information to public policy-making. This paper lists and discusses the key
elements of a successful PPGIS project, including interactivity, usability, and visualization.
Furthermore, it introduces two selected PPGIS projects in Taiwan. One of them was developed
by Lin et al. (2005) for the aboriginal Atayal Smangus community. Nangang Community
College developed the other. It used web 2.0, citizen journalists, and a Google map to
collect opinions of residents about the delineation of a pothole conservation area along the
river.
