The manual is intended to assist Participatory Learning and Action practitioners, non-governmental and other civil organizations, society or scientific institutions and others who would find "community-based 3-D modeling" a powerful tool enabling local stakeholders to express their views and assert their rights. The manual's content and format are designed for practitioners who would like to plan and facilitate the preparation of 3-D models through a community-based process and for those wanting to bring the potentials of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at grassroots level. The P3-DM process and its output (the scaled relief model) are the foundations upon which participatory GIS can release its full potential. * For more information on how to obtain copies of the manual please go to www.iapad.org/publications.htm.
