The technique of Community Mapping was applied to explore and record the problems of high tide-affected areas, their manifested forms, and their causes, as perceived by the local community. Produced by women collectives of Kudumbashree, who were given six months of training, the gender counter maps substituted the expert-driven, techno-centric data-gathering mechanism with an inclusive, communitarian, and participative data-gathering process. It provided gender-sensitive counter-historical data sets; counter-resource data sets; counter spatial data sets; and counter-temporal data sets using five Participatory Research Methods— participatory resource mapping, historical time analysis of the climate change issues, time-use gender ratios, cob-web analysis, and problem tree analysis.
