Abstract: This booklet contains a series of tutorials with tips and techniques on how to use ArcGIS to map yourlocal community. In these opening pages I hope to put the remainder of the booklet in context byaddressing the more fundamental question of why it is a good idea to map your community. I willsuggest that there are two fundamental, inter-related reasons. Quite simply, people should map theircommunity to:1 = Place themselves on the map, helping t o build a sense of place in the world, and2 - Place local issues on the map, enabling better investigation and analysis.
