• There are indications of drought in some areas
• But indicate that Metrological system in Nagaland
  has gone Online

Participatory 3 Dimensional Model

• Participatory 3-Dimensional Modeling (P3-DM)
  integrates participatory resource mapping, and
  spatial information (contour lines) to produce a
  stand-alone scaled relief model, which has proved
  to be a user-friendly and a relatively accurate
  research, planning and management tool

8
What are the advantages of P3-DM for villagers

• Both process and output fuel self-esteem
  confidence
• Raise local awareness
• Powerful medium for easing communication and
  language barriers
• Creates common grounds for discussion.
• Effective in portraying relatively extensive and
  remote areas, overcoming logistical and practical
  constraints to public participation in
  land/resource use planning and management.
• 3-D modeling is an efficient community-organizing
  tool because it gathers people to share
  information and concerns.
• Empowers people to plan effectively for
  themselves based on their needs.

9
What are the advantage of P3-DM for planners

• Sketch maps, transect diagrams or other
  conventional spatial tools, produced at different
  times have inherent weakness - outputs are not
  properly geo-referenced and consistently coded.
• P3-DM overcomes this weakness, because the relief
  model is a constant with its legend and coding
  embedded.
• Relief modeling can give communities and local
  authorities a clear first time factual
  understanding of their perimeter.
• P3-DM facilitates a bottom-up approach to
  planning.
• The use of differentiated coding systems and
  materials, 3-D models, similarly GIS, accommodate
  overlapping information layers, thus facilitating
  community-based analysis and decision-making.
