Abstract:

We examine a case study in which one form of network mapping – participatory community network mapping – was used to visualize and help discover common collaborative ground between stakeholders in a Dutch multi-sectoral climate action coalition of the willing. After introducing the 2018 Dutch Klimaatstroom Zuid Climate Summit case, we discuss how the CommunitySensor methodology for participatory community network mapping can help discover collaborative common ground in such complex networks. We share how we applied CommunitySensor to the climate summit case. We end with a discussion on how such participatory mapping could support the process of common agenda setting towards collective impact.

Hello Aldo, I saw your tweet on UK gov’s dreadful Covid plans… On another note entirely I was intrigued by your ‘community sense’ profile. I have used a very useful environmental mapping tool to transfer knowledge across EU cities. It’s called Green Maps: https://new.opengreenmap.org/browse/maps/_/map-view It’s very much a participatory process and we liaised with the UK gov to test out some tools also. The cities involved were Bristol, UK; Berlin, Germany; Budapest, Hungary and Bistrita, Romania. As it was about cross-pollinating knowledge I called it the 4BsHive: https://4bshive.wordpress.com Steve
