Multimedia mapping Recent developments in participatory mapping draw on Web 2.0technology to create interactive, computer-based maps that link
digital video, photos and written text with maps. Tagmap is aninnovative consultation tool, developed over the last six years byBold Creative.
Described by Bold Creative as "a mapping-video mash upapplication", Tagmap combines film making, social networking sitesand Google Maps to enable young people to make and watch filmsand start conversations about the issues they face on a daily basis,become citizen journalists and have a voice(http://tagmap.wordpress.com/ ). To see a video of Tagmap inaction, visit http://vimeo.com/9831266 .
Planning for Real: creating 3D models to aid communityconsultationIn the UK, a technique called Planning for Real uses participatory
mapping principles to invite communities to create a 3-D model oftheir local area and suggest how they would like to see theircommunity develop. Groups then prioritise the suggestions andcreate an action plan for decision-makers to take away, and/or as abasis for community action. Picture X shows the map created bylocal school children in Sheffield and populated with over 3,000flags with suggestions from residents. The exercise was part of aninitiative to regenerate High Hazels Park in Sheffield as a catalyst tostimulate wider regeneration of the area . The project teamsuccessfully implemented many of the most highly prioritisedfacilities such as new play areas and seating. The team iscontinuing to follow the regeneration plan and apply for furtherfacilities and training for the local community (seehttp://www.nif.co.uk/ ).

As these examples illustrate, mapping crosses a number of disciplinary boundaries and is developing a growing body of theory, principlesand practical experience. The general aims and specific objectives of participatory mapping initiatives vary significantly depending on theuse to which maps will be put and who will view and make decisions based on the content of the maps (IAFD 2009: 4).
