PARTICIPATORY MAPPING AS AN ANALYSIS TOOL FOR SPACES AFFECTED BY NATURAL PHENOMENA IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS, ATACAMA
Abstract
This article aims to validate the participatory mapping (PM) as an analysis technique able to study agricultural areas in the Atacama Desert. These agricultural areas are confined to the valley bottoms of narrow and steep characteristics. This tool is used as a method to represent these areas through systematization, interpretation and transmission of spatial information. The data collected are from Laonzana community, representative of the resistances of agricultural villages. These regions have suffered reductions in their productive areas, caused by natural phenomena, not being recovered for damages, the elderly population and the low number of farmers in recent decades. This study validated PM techniques, identifying numerous abandoned agricultural areas and others missing. This information is represented in thematic maps, as a result that rescues information from the collective memory, generating temporal comparisons of changes in agricultural areas.
Keywords: Participatory Mapping, Atacama Desert, Agriculture, control panels, collective memory.
