Why choose this project topic?
Participation and Evidence Use in Farmer-Led Seasonal Risk Mapping gives the proposal a specific agricultural decision to investigate. By examining how farmers combine experience and observable evidence when mapping seasonal risks, the study can connect an accessible evidence base with an explicit comparison and a useful account of uncertainty.
Which risks and evidence sources enter a participatory seasonal risk map and whose contributions are omitted?
Avoid precise household locations and select a non-emergency planning purpose.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define a feasible study scope for how farmers combine experience and observable evidence when mapping seasonal risks.
- 02Facilitate an approved voluntary mapping exercise using approximate locations and record anonymous contribution types.
- 03Compare the final map with discussion notes and identify uncertain or contested risk descriptions.
A suggested research approach
Facilitate an approved voluntary mapping exercise using approximate locations and record anonymous contribution types. Compare the final map with discussion notes and identify uncertain or contested risk descriptions. Agree access, sampling and any required ethical or laboratory approval with your supervisor before collection. Keep original observations separate from assumptions and record missing or unusable evidence.
What you will need
- Community consent
- Mapping materials
- Facilitation observation guide
Keep your project scope clear
Participatory maps reflect experience and cannot replace technical hazard assessment.
