Collaborative mapping of water conflicts in Andalusia, Spain [Póster]
Abstract
This project builds on previous studies, to construct a process of social and collaborative mapping that leads to the production of a map on water conflicts in Andalusia (Spain). This contributes to current debate in the field of Environmental and in particular Water Justice and the map is conceived as a knowledge tool to substantiate rights to a sustainable and ethical use of water for human and non-human uses (Hofrichter, 1994). Indeed, the process of building the map is understood as constructing a civic space for the effective exercise of social and environmental rights which civil society is responsible for together with the state (Brañes Ballesteros, 2004).

Y$3&(K&$2#( Addressing water governance conflicts requires adopting a complexity approach that aims at triggering an adaptive process of “collective learning, exploration and experimentation” (Xiang, 2013). Indeed, when facing different social and complex issues, analytical processes need to be associated with reflective and experimental thinking, to fully tackle system dynamics. New Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can serve as a platform for the collaborative production of knowledge. In the last decade, initiatives inspired in this perspective have reached important developments. This project builds on previous studies, to construct a process of social and collaborative mapping that leads to the production of a map on water conflicts in Andalusia (Spain). This contributes to current debate in the field of Environmental and in particular Water Justice and the map is conceived as a knowledge tool to substantiate rights to a sustainable and ethical use of water for human and non-human uses (Hofrichter, 1994). Indeed, the process of building the map is understood as constructing a civic space for the effective exercise of social and environmental rights which civil society is responsible for together with the state (Brañes Ballesteros, 2004).

Each report contains a title for the conflict, the localization, the type of conflicts, links and pictures. Other information included: waterbody, origin of the conflict, actors, mobilization, impact, results, resources and metadata. 2nd Step: Organization of workshops with activist groups in which the form was explained and feedback on the form was obtained. Participants in the workshops were divided into groups and each group entered a conflict or mobilization of their choice in the map.
