“Think Global, Act Local”
Communicating Indigenous Technical
Knowledge to a Global audience

Local Communities Collecting Data

Capturing Indigenous Knowledge
4
Accrediting Local Knowledge (ITK)?
Are local methods and practices globally and scientifically acceptable?
How to compare Indigenous Technical Knowledge from different countries?
How could ITK be presented in an acceptable way?
5
Communities using “Mobile GIS”
High-end technology
Direct “translation”
Local “experts” Local “cost” Local “ownership”

Is it adapted to local physical conditions?(ruggedized equipment)
Local capacities? (training) User-friendly? (adaptation) Do benefits counter (transaction) cost? Can data be up-dated sustainably?
(local-regional institutional setting)
Can (P)GIS be managed at local level?
11
What it takes for this to work…
The technical solutions will evolve rapidly given the current rate of developments in computer technology. Reduced cost Better availability and operability
Focus should be on the institutional embedding of the method and tools at different levels

Current Cost of Equipment
Pocket PC $ 450. - GPS $ 150. - Software $ 400. –
$1000. –
Issue is not current cost but in a few years
