Community mapping is the recovery and discovery of the connections and common ground that all communities share. Community mapping is also part of a global movement for participatory learning, community empowerment and sustainable planning. Explores the power of maps and the theoretical challenge posed by indigenous and community mapping to the discipline of Western cartography. Presents profiles of community mapping initiatives in Canada and a case study of Common Ground Victoria along with community mapping practitioner observations on mapping methodology and technology.
