Abstract:
Participatory Landscape Appraisal (PaLA) can be used as an early diagnostic tool of the issues in a landscape. It can help document a process of participatory appraisals of issues of local concern, such as changes in water flows, soil erosion, slope stability or agrobiodiversity. It combines Rapid Rural Appraisal and Participatory Rural Appraisal (RRA/PRA) tools and methods with agroecological analysis to capture local knowledge at relevant temporal and spatial scales. PaLA can be used in scoping studies that can inform more detailed, subsequent analysis of specific functions and issues.
