The book “Case studies in collaborative and participatory mapping” (original Estudos de caso em mapeamentos colaborativo e participativo) is a collective work, organized by Dr. Raquel Dezidério Souto, which includes 20 chapters with reports on research that adopted collective mapping methodologies - collaborative or participatory and social cartography, in the five regions of Brazil and for a wide variety of purposes, from nature conservation to the recognition of traditional communities, the inventory of urban infrastructure, and the enhancement of historical and cultural heritage. We hope that its publication will shed light on the importance and applicability of these methodologies and contribute to expanding the network of knowledge around this theme.
