![]() ![]() Results show how public participation can be amplified for the tourism market by crowdsourcing tools. The originality of this research lies in the attempt to develop a new model for creative tourism, trying to extend the implementation of Web Mapping crowdsourcing to deprived low density territories. Web mapping's contribution to enhance crowd participation was measured via analysis of 12 digital photos shared through crowdsourcing. ![]() The research was supported by the implementation and integration of geographic information systems (GIS) and web mapping, which will become part of the solution for the growth of less developed territories and to make more interactive tourist activities. The main objectives of the present paper are to provide a literature review on cultural mapping methodologies and to develop exploratory research on crowdsource tools on creative tourism which were applied to one Portuguese municipality in 2017. These methods were inspired by the development of big urban centres and regions, which have been the great engine of cultural mapping growth. It will include the presentation of a survey among instructors of the Schools intended to improve students' orientation among the courses offered.Over the years, cultural mapping methods have been used in several applications and contexts, for diverse cultural assets and to create new conditions for the development of local and regional resources. The panel is supported by the ECPR Schools in Methods and Techniques. It could be for example: a full map of methods within one field or national tradition the relationship between dominant and challenging methods in a field the rise or decline of one method or combination of methods the distinct uses of one method in separate fields or traditions, etc. ![]() Therefore the panel welcomes all papers that contribute positioning one or more methods vis-à-vis others. ![]() Mapping the methods of European political science has to be a collaborative work with representatives of different domains and traditions. It also provides a more comprehensive view to method trainees: beyond "mixed-methods" and "multi-methods" courses, methodological maps give synthetic views on relevant combinations. It helps make the best next methodological step, instead of following disciplinary traditions, available training sessions or software trends, all factors often contingent to a rational logic of scientific discovery. Methods mapping helps locate one's methodological practice relatively to others'. A map of political science methods requires listing the methods in use, locating them relatively to each other and arranging all of them within the same space, letting some underlying dimensions emerge, and isolating clusters of related methods that structure the map. This approach provides secured ways to beginners interested by one method, but it is limited regarding the connection between two or several of them: Which methods are similar, which ones are radically different? What complementarity, combination or chaining over time is worth considering on one's research topic? We propose mapping as an innovative, comprehensive approach to these questions. Method books usually provide separate accounts of multiple methods, each written separately by a specialist. ![]()
