Fostering community-engaged green stormwater infrastructure through the use of participatory geographic information systems (PGIS)

As an emerging technology, Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) is still facing various implementation barriers. Literature findings reveal that contextual background of the community, education on topic, capacity building, a comprehensive participatory framework along with appropriate tools and methods are factors requiring greater focuses in future research and practice. Using literature review and case study methodology, this research provides an enhanced engagement framework for GSI planning and implementation, which integrates the Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS) as an interactive platform to foster contextual analysis, education on topic, and capacity building.
