Photovoice Mapping Activity – Apéri’tours 2024
Dr. Catherine Jones (Université du Luxembourg)
Description
Participatory mapping is a method that works with local communities to identify and map their experiences, attachments, and concerns related to their neighbourhoods. Implemented as part of the City of Luxembourg’s Apéri’tours, it combines local spatial knowledge with mapping and photowalks to reveal positive and negative perceptions of places and to clarify urban needs and priorities. The process relies on active community participation and produces voluntary geographic information that supports decision making. The outcome of the exercise is a synthesis report, based on collected, digitised, and analysed data, supported by a toolkit enabling replication across neighbourhoods.
