This presentation described my master's thesis project to create and test a wikimap to capture local landscape values in the Bad River Watershed. The application, scheduled for beta release in September, will initially be monitored with interaction logging tools assess which interactions supported by the wikimap are most frequently applied by its users, revealing participation patterns that will be useful for the future design and development of similar wikimaps. A final focus group study will evaluate the impact of the wikimap on public discourse surrounding land use and natural resource management in the watershed.
