Des cartes mentales pour analyser la vulnérabilité au risque d’une ville de l’Arctique russe : Khamagatta

Abstract

The paper presents the main results of a cartographic workshop in Khamagatta (Eastern Siberia). The objective was twofold: observing the town vulnerability to ice break-up floods through a group of children and teenagers knowledge living there; use the map as an instrument for dialogue, knowledge integration and data collection. Narratives and cartographies are not opposed but rather mutually reinforcing. This cartographic worskhop allowed different registers of knowledge to be brought together and ultimately produced valuable information for scientific analysis.
