MAPS, or "Mapping and Analysis of Public Spaces," refers to the process of creating visual representations of areas to understand their layout, features, and usage. This can include various types of maps, such as topographic, thematic, or digital maps, which help in planning and managing public spaces effectively. These maps are essential tools for urban planners, architects, and local governments. They provide insights into how people interact with their environment, guiding decisions on infrastructure, transportation, and community development. By analyzing public spaces, stakeholders can enhance accessibility, safety, and overall quality of life for residents.
