Proceso participativo de producir un mapa integrado de Centroamérica y sur de México

2013 
The development of a regional map based on the official geospatial datasets of the National Geography Institutes of Central America and Mexico is an essential ele- ment for the use of people who inhabit the region to aid in their everyday decision making process, both for community and regional scales. This Regional Map of Central America and southern Mexico, integrates elements relating to: political- administrative divisions of the regions —departments, states and provinces— major urban settlements, the roads, water bodies and rivers. The digital map can be used to determine the areas influences and contribute to the prevention and disaster miti- gation to safeguard human lives and natural resources.  Utilizing the participatory mapping approach with support from the Pan Ameri- can Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH) to integrate the geospatial data information between eight countries not only assures the continuity of the project, but also strengthens the relationship between the technical specialists in the region. This type of initiative provides a means to use maps to allow the countries be to able to capture the movements and trends of development of peoples.
