Participatory topological mapping: A novel approach for exploring and communicating situated knowledge of complex socio-ecological systems

Methodological Innovations, Ahead of Print. Land use change impacts on Sámi reindeer husbandry are well-documented, but existing maps often fail to capture socio-ecological relationships between herders, reindeer and nature. Conventional Geographic Information Systems (GIS) simplify these relationships, lacking local context and excluding valuable knowledge due to their rigid structure. This paper introduces participatory topological mapping, […]
