Lecturer/Tutor: M. Waine
TEACHING ORGANISATION: 3 hours of Lecture/Tutorial per week for 13 weeks or equivalent
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course challenges students to embrace and appreciate the concept Social Mapping in relation to development agendas pursued by the National Government. Understanding who we are against dynamic forces of change as a result of development particularly in the extractive industry underpins the crux of issues discussed in this course. What entails social mapping? Who undertakes social mapping? What is social mapping’s genesis of origin? As a tool of ethnographic research in documenting social realities within defined localities the abstract ideals associated with social mapping for development will be highlighted as back drop to harnessing of skills in social research.
As an aspect of legal requirement in the Oil and Gas industry this concept and the social research skills inherent in the processes of data collection and analyses requires due diligence and compliance during the different phases of developing an Oil and Gas find in Papua New Guinea. Social Mapping would not be complete without looking at Land owner identification studies as well as ILG (Incorporation of Land Groups, ILG Act 1974) with regards the warm bodies occupying the social and spatial realities mapped.
