This article focuses on several forms of community mapping. "Community Mapping" is used to refer to a process of inventorying resources or assets available to a specified neighborhood or community ("Best Practice Briefs", 1998-1999). This particular approach is called "community asset mapping". It includes identification of community assets for individual development and the inventorying of public capital and cultural resources. Then there is "community relationship mapping" which includes the visual presentations of relationships. Mapping is widely used for community, social and youth development ( Best Practice Briefs, 1998-1999). It is an appealing approach to building developmental aspects to avoid risky behavior.
