Abstract

This paper aims to present some suggestions on how to create a cartographic representation which is able to facilitate a dialogue between people from a variety of cultural contexts. For this reason, we present a process of community mapping for an area of Sub-Saharan African territory. This process, anchored to a specific theoretical and methodological approach, was very useful in the creation of an intercultural communication between different subjects engaged in environmental conservation processes. The role of participatory mapping emerges, enabling dialogue between traditional knowledge and technical know-how.

Cet article propose des pistes de réflexion afin d’identifier les modalités de la représentation cartographique susceptibles de faciliter le dialogue entre acteurs provenant de différents contextes culturels. L’étude présentée porte sur le processus de construction d’une cartographie participative en territoire africain subsaharien. Ce processus, qui s’appuie sur une approche théorique et méthodologique précise, a démontré son utilité dans la création d’un dialogue interculturel parmi différents acteurs de la planification environnementale. Il ressort de la présente étude qu’une telle approche participative de la cartographie permet de faciliter la rencontre entre savoir traditionnel et savoir technique.
