Development of participatory approaches and geographical information systems(pagis) for effective usage in recreation areas

Map-based geographical knowledge systems are able to analyze simultaneously lots of complicated knowledge about many issues like governing, decision-making and designing in metropolitan cities. Organizations and institutions in metropolitans have to operate to provide common demands of the people who live in together. This target is possible only by the way of having deep knowledge on metropolitan life. Therefore, metropolitan planning is associated with GIS as a practical method which provides map-based data. In this context, Web 2.0 means the system which is created by internet users commonly and collectively. This study is going with the help of user-oriented data input system emerging from Web 2.0. In this study, I want to show that people can create data base on digital maps which show recreation areas in Istanbul by the help of PAGIS and WEBGIS. I dealt with the process detail in which there are many operations about collection, storage, operate analyze, evaluate and syntheses. Also I aim to investigate realistic solutions for official or unofficial institutions which serve the people in public places.
