"Participatory Mapping and Participatory GIS (PGIS) are new trends that have arisen in the last three decades among those who criticize classical GIS as rigid and disembodied, too objective and focused on technical %22solutions%22 while forgetting about the human stories behind the data. These new approaches are context- and issue-driven and seek community empowerment rather than technology usage. South African rural development policies place great emphasis on the provision of basic service infrastructure in order to facilitate local economic development. The provision of water within rural areas has proved to be troublesome and participatory approaches in GIS can be utilized to ensure the effective provision of water in rural communities. South Africa's White Paper on Water Supply and Sanitation specifies that the maximum distance which a person should have to cart water to their dwelling is 200 metres. The extent to which rural areas in South Africa comply with this White Paper is questionable. In a network and buffer analysis it was found that in the village of Koffiekraal the White Paper's minimum level of water provision standards, regarding distance, is only partially complied with. On the basis of these findings it is argued that a GIS using participatory data collection techniques should be incorporated when planning rural water supply systems. In doing so issues regarding access can be accurately identified and addressed."@en . "2013-06-16+02:00"^^ . . .
