The document discusses different types of maps and graphical representations that are useful for permaculture designers, including conceptual maps, resource maps, calendars, and zone and sector maps. It provides examples of each type of map, such as concept maps about organization, water system maps, soil quality maps, and planting calendars. The document emphasizes that maps are useful for communicating ideas, questioning assumptions, and re-imagining systems. Learning to make different kinds of maps is a key design skill.

Mapping is a visual process in which people are given the chance to related physical and/or social information in a simple and easily understood format . It is especially useful where spatial information is required . Even people who have had access to formal education often cannot read professionally drawn plans, but most people can understand simple diagrams. And more so, if they develop the diagram using symbols and materials that have meaning relevance for them. Often this means the map will be drawn in the ground using sticks to make the lines and locally available materials as symbols (leaves, nuts, peddles..). To maintain a record of the information the facilitator needs to redraw the map on paper as accurately a possible - always show your version to the participants for checking and approval - remember the information is THIERS - the original stays with them - with their permission you can make a copy.
Layout Maps - basic layout/plan of area, village, project (In this example it is interesting to note that the map drawn by the men, is different to that drawn by the women, which again different to that of the children - different perspectives/interests awareness BUT all the information IS correct and relevant)
Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space , real or imagined, without regard to conte xt or s ca le ; e.g. Brain mappin g , DN A mapping, an d ex t r aterrestr ial mapping.
estas son muuchas mapas - en solapación, solapadas?
There is a great deal of information which is relate to time, and which is best and easiest presented as calendars. Again, these drawings will often be effected on the ground, with sticks, and possibly with locally found materials to represent aspects of the chart. For example to map planting calendars, the actual grain from the various crops could be used to show the time span of that crop, from planting to harvesting. Again, the information is by and for and of the people, so it should be drawn in terms that they use and that make sense to them, it is not necessary to map a whole year and to divide that year into 12 months of roughly the same time span - use the local system of time, and local names for periods and epochs. Possible uses of calendars includes crop rotations nutritional problems money availability/scarcity labor availability/scarcity religious holidays/celebrations
Attention cartography geeks! NPR’s Robert Krulwich takes a looks at websites that let you superimpose maps on top of each other to compare the relative size of various things. For example, what would the dimensions of the gulf oil spill look like if it were superimposed on the US east coast? Or how many big countries could you fit into all of Africa? What I really like about this post is that I’ve tried to do map overlays manually in the past and it wasn’t very easy to do. Back in the ‘06 Israel-Lebanon war, I took a Google Map image of the war zone and superimposed it over New England . (Ha ifa to Beirut is about the same dista nce as Providence, RI to Lowell, MA, in case you’re wondering.) But it was really tough to do, especially given my limited tech skills. So if you’re a map nerd like I am, I hope you enjoy Robert’s post as much as I did. - @acarvin http://npr.tumblr.com/post /2133410550/m aps-on-maps
Estas éticas son muy idealistas, pero las ponemos en práctica a través de unas pautas de diseño de comprobado éxito, desde las más antiguas hasta las más modernas, muy bien definidas, y en continuo desarrollo. Se basan en una forma particular de pensar en la energía y los recursos de un sistema, y unas técnicas de diseño consciente que se aplican en cada fase y faceta del proceso de diseño en forma de aprendizaje acción. Es un proceso integrado, funcional y consciente. Es la ciencia de la mejor ubicación relativa de componentes en un plan o patrón cuya función principal es la de aumentar recursos, conservar energía y reducir o eliminar la polución y/o el desperdicio.

Respeto para los pueblos nativos ... patrones parecidos en todo el planeta: adaptados a su lugar, observación, cultura local JUGAR! Re-aprender a usar el aprendizaje en acción, nuestra forma natural de evolucionar: tiene que ser práctico, aplicada si no no se aprende nada ... acompañar a nuestro niño interior, re-discubrir el gozo y diviertimiento de ser científicos
Es una de las 3 bases éticas de la PermaCultura ... pero ¿cómo llevarla a la práctica? Las personas somos, además del contexto, el aspecto sin duda más difícil a la hora de conseguir proyectos verdaderamente sostenibles. En este módulo exploramos de forma teórica y muy práctica también, las diferentes facetas de este contexto más amplio: la naturaleza de las personas, de los grupos y las relaciones; los modelos de investigación, el aprendizaje, la historia y el significado de la sostenibilidad .
And finally, a map of how London’s Underground system would look if it was geographically correct, rather than stylistically simplified . This map was designed by Simon Clarke.

Resource Maps - maps can be drawn/developed which identify a specific feature, resource or use pattern. This map below right shows an existing irrigation system. While that below shows land-usage pattern Resource Maps may also be in the form of Venn diagrams, such as this example showing the sources of forest based products for a part of China Wealth Mapping - often it is important to identify wealth and influence in the village. (Note that the concept of wealth will vary according to culture - use a raking method to let the people determine their idea of wealth before mapping the story of the village.
Transect Map - its actually a cross-section of a part of the landscape. It does not have to be in a straight line. It is useful as a way of getting to know the area, especially if an elder/knowledgeable person is asked to lead it.

y luego las cosas más convencionales también ... son formas muy útiles de poner información compleja de forma fácil y visual
This 1981 map looks at time, distance and transport. It illustrates how a section of the globe would look if London was at the centre and towns and cities were drawn in proximity to London relative to the time it takes to get there using the fastest mode of transport. We assume that this map takes Concorde into account, a mode of transport no longer in use.
