Community Mapping - The 'right on' factor

[GWR]

Well, I looked into the Geocaching thing a bit and decided it was a bit too twee for the ex-farm labourer in me. But I suppose I have a fair amount of 'right on' baggage too. I think I have just discovered my retirement project.

And don't forget to check out the webring link (truly another 'right on' concept if ever I saw one) at the bottom.
Seriously, I can see myself putting together papier-mache relief maps!

Where do we start? When you get fed up with the global perspective, you can always home in on the countries 'link' and look up Thailand. I note that community mapping is something that has been employed locally to help communities figure out contingencies for flooding & disaster.

I'd be really interested in talking to anyone who has been involved in any such projects in Southern Thailand.
