Key Points

• Community mapping should be done through a facilitated community dialogue.

• Mapping is done in small groups of 3 to 5 members, which is beneficial in order for everyone to have the opportunity to provide their input.

• The groups are then combined to a larger group of approximately 10 to 20 people to give a representation of various perspectives in the community at one time.

• Bring together a diverse group of individuals including, adolescents, young adults, women and men, the elderly, as well as a mix of new residents and old from the community to gather viewpoints.
