Community Participation, Spatial Knowledge Production, and GIS Use in Inner-City Revitalization.

Ghose, Rina

Journal of Urban Technology, v10 n1 p39-60 Apr 2003

Explores Milwaukee, Wisconsin's use of community Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using long-term ethnographic research. Overall, the effects of GIS and other digital technologies are quite varied across different community organizations, influenced strongly by factors such as leadership quality, organizational capacity, and resourcefulness in implementing technologies and spatial knowledge to their advantage. Consequently, GIS has created divisions within inner city neighborhoods. (SM)
