Evaluating Participatory Mapping Software
This volume provides a framework for evaluating geospatial software for participatory mapping.The evaluation is based on ten key indicators: ethics, cost, technical level, inclusiveness, data accuracy, data privacy, analytical capacity, visualization capacity, openness, and accessibility (i.e., mobile friendly or offline capabilities).Each application is evaluated by a user and cross analyzed with specific case studies of the software’s real-world application.This framework does not discriminate against assessing volunteered geographic information (VGI) applications, as a form of participatory mapping, in circumstances that its application is spearheaded by underrepresented groups with the intent to empower and spark political or behavioral change within formal and informal institutions.Each chapter follows a strict template to ensure that the information within the volume can be updated periodically to match the ever-changing technological environment.The book covers ten different mapping applications with the goal of creating a comparative evaluation framework that can be easily interpreted by convening institutions and novice users.This will also help identify gaps in software for participatory mapping which will help to inform application development in the future and updates to current geospatial software.

Achieving Global Open Access : The Need for Scientific, Epistemic and Participatory Openness
Achieving Global Open Access explores some of the key conditions that are necessary to deliver global Open Access (OA) that is effective and equitable. Often assumed to be a self-evident good, OA has been subject to growing criticism for perpetuating global inequities and epistemic injustices.It has been seen as imposing exploitative business and publishing models and as exacerbating exclusionary research evaluation cultures and practices.Pinfield engages with these issues, recognising that the global OA debate is now not just about publishing business models and academic reward structures, but also about what constitutes valid and valuable knowledge, how we know, and who gets to say.The book argues that, for OA to deliver its potential, it first needs to be associated with ‘epistemic openness’, a wider and more inclusive understanding of what constitutes valid and valuable knowledge.It also needs to be accompanied by ‘participatory openness’, enabling contributions to knowledge from more diverse communities.Interacting with relevant theory and current practice, the book discusses the challenges in implementing these different forms of openness, the relationships between them, and their limits. Achieving Global Open Access is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of Library and Information Science, Open Access and Publishing.It will also be valuable and interesting to library and publishing professionals around the world.

What does participatory justice mean?
Participatory justice refers to a legal system in which individuals and communities are actively involved in the decision-making processes that affect them. This can include opportunities for input, dialogue, and collaboration in legal proceedings, policies, and practices. Participatory justice aims to empower individuals and communities by giving them a voice in the justice system and ensuring that their perspectives and needs are taken into account. This approach can help to build trust in the legal system and promote fair and equitable outcomes.

Do you think that work should be more participatory?
Yes, I believe that work should be more participatory. When employees are given the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes, they feel more valued and engaged in their work. This can lead to increased job satisfaction, higher productivity, and a more positive work environment. Additionally, involving employees in decision-making can result in better, more well-rounded decisions that take into account a variety of perspectives and ideas. Overall, a more participatory work environment can lead to better outcomes for both employees and the organization as a whole.

What distinguishes systematic observation from participatory observation in field research?
Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and predetermined collection of data based on specific variables or behaviors of interest. Researchers use predefined criteria to guide their observations and ensure consistency in data collection. On the other hand, participatory observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities of the group being observed. This approach allows the researcher to gain a deeper understanding of the context and culture of the group, but may be more subjective and less structured compared to systematic observation.

What is non-participatory observation? What is deliberate observation? What is unintentional observation?
Non-participatory observation is when the observer remains separate from the group being observed and does not interact with them. This type of observation allows the observer to remain objective and not influence the behavior of the group. Deliberate observation is when the observer intentionally focuses on specific behaviors or aspects of the group being observed. This type of observation is often used in research to gather specific data or insights. Unintentional observation is when the observer passively notices and absorbs information about a group or situation without intentionally focusing on specific aspects. This type of observation can occur in everyday life, such as when someone casually observes the behavior of people in a public setting.

Participatory Arts in International Development
This book explores the practical delivery of participatory arts projects in international development.Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of academics, international development professionals and arts practitioners, the book engages honestly with the competing challenges faced by the different groups of people involved. Participatory arts are becoming increasingly popular in international development circles, fuelled in part by the increased accessibility of audio-visual media in the digital age, and also by the move towards participatory discourses in the wake of the UN’s Agenda 2030.The book asks: What do participatory arts projects look like in practice, and why are they used as an international development tool? How can we develop practical and sustainable development projects on the ground, localising best practice according to cultural, economic and linguistic contexts? What are the enablers of, and barriers to, successful participatory initiatives, and how can we evaluate past projects to learn and feed into future projects?Written to appeal to both academics and practitioners, this book would also be suitable for teaching on courses related to participatory development, community arts, and culture and development.

Critically Engaging Participatory Action Research
This timely and informative book reasserts the value of Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR): an approach to participatory action research (PAR) that is informed by critical theories attending to questions of privilege and power, and that generates collaborations focused on challenging structural inequality. The authors, writing explicitly from Minority World perspectives, are experienced researcher-practitioners who have worked with communities in the UK, USA, South Africa, Australia, India, and Colombia over many years.They offer an assessment, exploration, and illustration of CPAR at this point in time, outlining how the approach has evolved over time and space.Exploring its roots in strands of critical thought including postcolonialism, anti-imperialism, feminism, antiracism, queer theory, and Indigenous ontologies, the book asks how PAR is being critically re-engaged to maintain its commitment to greater justice and transformational change.Each chapter provides a rich case study of how these theories inform current collaborations and offers reflection on the entanglements of power that come with attempting CPAR in different institutional and geopolitical contexts.Their examples show that critical interrogation of PAR practices may lead to innovative and impactful outcomes for those involved, as well as new theoretical and substantive research findings. The collection will be of especial interest to students and researchers across the social sciences and humanities, as well as those working outside universities, who are interested in developing or extending their use of CPAR.

The Gestures of Participatory Art
Winner of the 2019 ASCA Book Award Participation is the utopian sweet dream that has turned into a nightmare in contemporary neoliberal societies.Yet can the participatory ideal be discarded or merely replaced with another term, just because it has become disemboweled into a tool of pacification?The gestures of participatory art insists that the concept of participation must be re-imagined and shifted onto other registers.Moving from reflections on institutional critique and impact to concrete analyses of moments of unsolicited, delicate participation and refusal, the book examines a range of artistic practices from India, Sudan, Guatemala and El Salvador, the Lebanon, the Netherlands and Germany.It proposes the concept of the gesture as a way of theorising participatory art, situating it between the visual and the performing arts, as both individual and collective, both internal attitude and social habitude. -- .

How can one use multiple proxy servers?
One can use multiple proxy servers by setting up a proxy chain or proxy cascading. This involves connecting to one proxy server, which then connects to another proxy server, creating a chain of proxies. This method can help increase anonymity and security by routing internet traffic through multiple servers. Additionally, one can also use a proxy management tool or software that allows for the rotation of proxy servers, providing a more dynamic and diverse approach to browsing the internet anonymously.
