Social Mapping

Social mapping is a process used to visually represent the social relationships and networks within a community or organization. It involves identifying and plotting key individuals, groups, and their interactions on a map or diagram. This technique helps to understand social dynamics, identify influencers, track resource flows, and pinpoint areas for improvement. By illustrating how people connect and communicate, social mapping can reveal insights into community strengths, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration, ultimately aiding in informed decision-making and strategic planning.
