A research project that explores the use of Participatory Geographic Information Systems for Transportation: Building tools for better decisions (PGIST) has a website with an enormous amount of research available online. (Note: Research conducted by my academic advisor at the University of Washington). From the PGIST website:
“The PGIST project is studying how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Internet technologies can improve public participation in transportation decision making. We are working with regional agencies and stakeholders to develop and evaluate on-line tools for expanding public participation in transportation improvement programming for the central Puget Sound region. We aim to improve peoples ability to express their views and expand their knowledge, in order to come to a shared understanding about transportation related concerns, and then voice choices about project recommendations.”
This is a wonderful resource for anyone considering participatory GIS implementations. Research articles include participatory modeling, design consideration, value-concerns analysis, and more related issues. A worthwhile visit for all.
