People construct 3D model
3D Model
This is another example in the Philippines. This Participatory 3D Modeling project also used great amount of local knowledge as base to construct this physical analog model. You can see in these picture people are actively involved in the process of 3D model construction. Though these two model bring a powerful backgrounds to participatory concepts some limitation which can be identified such as access, dynamic and interaction of map navigation, and environmental simulation. Therefore it has been anticipated that the proposed Virtual Participatory GIS model will enhanced some of the these issues much more interactively and accessibly for wider participation.

Public Involvement in 3D Model Construction
From Internet decision making to 3D analog physical model construction in Vietnam. This research has been developed in Vietnam with the collaboration of European Commission and the ministry of environmental issues. This Participatory 3D Modeling has included a great extent of integration of local knowledge and their contribution to the model construction and decision-making. As you can see in these picture people are participating in the construction of the model.
