Abstract
Participatory systems mapping is a method used to create visual depictions of the systems we are interested in exploring - in this case, the housing system. The maps created through this process typically consist of a “network of factors and their causal connections, annotated with salient information from stakeholders” (Barbrook-Johnson & Penn, p. 6, 2022). They have a tendency to be large and complex but can be broken down into sub-maps and/or narratives during subsequent analyses. SIPHER’s aim in using participatory systems mapping with our housing policy partners is to help us collectively think about and orientate ourselves towards policy understandings of the pathways from housing to health. Drawing out the system visually enables participants to communicate their perspectives on housing-health links, to us and to one another, which can help identify where perspectives overlap and where they vary, as well as enabling us to assess perceptions and assumptions against available evidence and data. Through this process, we can begin to synthesise and connect different kinds of expertise and evidence about the housing and health system.
