PARTICIPATORY TOOLS USED IN THE MPA6.3 Community map 20Social maps represent a popularplanning, evaluation <strong>and</strong> monitoringtool as they reveal a lot that is neverpossible to know from written records.Since they also take considerable timeto make, it is worthwhile to considerhow many different types of data toinclude, keeping keeping in mind thatthe more complex the map, the moretime the analysis will take <strong>and</strong> thatother tools, discussed later, can givethe same information more “at oneglance” than a social map.PreparationsCounting households with good or poor access to servicesfrom the social map in CambodiaPurposeCommunity social maps help to visually represent<strong>and</strong> analyze the community situation regardingall water <strong>and</strong> sanitation facilities - traditional aswell as those provided by specific projects - <strong>and</strong>access of the poor, rich <strong>and</strong> middle-incomehouseholds to them.They also help to visualize in which households(rich/intermediate/poor) paid or unpaid males orfemales work in water, sanitation <strong>and</strong> hygienepromotion, who paid or currently pays how muchin relation to service access obtained, <strong>and</strong> whoreceived training.A day before this activity, thefacilitators will discuss it with villagerepresentatives (both women <strong>and</strong>men) <strong>and</strong> agree on the area to bemapped.For large villages, it is often toocumbersome to map the whole village down to thehousehold level. In such cases, a general layout ofthe community is drawn with the traditional <strong>and</strong>new water supply systems created through theproject, as well as the rich, poor <strong>and</strong> intermediateneighborhoods, according to the criteria agreed.For project planning purposes, the entirepopulation to be covered by a project interventionwould have to be included. For monitoring <strong>and</strong>evaluation purposes, however, areas for detailedmapping can be delineated <strong>and</strong> average/typicalhousehold clusters or neighborhoods selectedaccording to the purpose of the activity. Forinstance, large villages can be sectioned off20 Adapted from participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques66
