Community Mapping for Participatory Decision-Making Processes

Community mapping is being increasingly used to support crowdsourcing in participatory decision-making processes but the collection of feedback is usually carried out in textual form. We describe a proposal for the management of 3D Community Maps which provide a virtual representation of the territory and enable users to contribute to policy making by sharing different types of contributions, such as comments, documents and 3D models. The paper discusses user requirements and personalization aspects in this type of application.
