      abstract = {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 softwares  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  twelve 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.},
