Atlas Caremaps & Community Mapping

This method combines Atlas Caremaps, a tool for visualizing personal care networks, with community mapping using KUMU (a free to access software for public projects to map systems, stakeholders, networks etc) to visualize and enhance the local landscape of care in Clapton Common. It aims to make visible the invisible networks of care and support, fostering connectivity and resource sharing among community members. It's especially helpful for generating cooperative connections, promoting a local gift economy, and supporting asset-based community development and so-called care commons. It may be less helpful in situations where community engagement is low or where the digital divide limits access to the mapping platform. Here is has been used to consolidate initial paper based collaborative mapping exercises as a starting point to build a fuller mapping picture which can ultimately enable partners & care recipients to identify improvements to their care plans and potential for improved sharing of resources through co-design.
