Using the case study of a flood prone informal settlement in Cape Town, this paper demonstrates a methodology for the collection and integration of community-based information into a Geographic Information System (GIS) that is useable by the Cape Town City Council (CTCC) for risk assessment. The study contributes to the body of Participatory GIS (PGIS) research. It demonstrates a practical approach to data collection towards development of sustainable flood risk management strategies in informal settlements.application/pdfenINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSFLOOD RISK MANAGEMENTPARTICIPATORY GISCOMMUNITY-BASED INFORMATIONGISCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYINFORMATION NEEDSCAPE TOWNSOUTH AFRICAURBAN DEVELOPMENTMUNCIPAL GOVERNMENTGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSFLOOD CONTROLSOUTH OF SAHARAWATER AND SANITATIONJournal Article
