Asset mapping is a research method used to identify and document the resources and strengths within a community or organization. This process involves creating a visual representation of the assets, which can include tangible resources such as parks, schools, businesses, and community organizations, as well as intangible assets such as cultural assets, social networks, and skills of community members. Asset mapping can help stakeholders understand and leverage the existing resources within a community to address issues, generate economic development, and improve overall quality of life. It can also inform community planning and decision-making processes by providing a comprehensive view of what is available and accessible within a given area.
