The overall goal of this study was to conduct an extensive literature review to characterize how geospatial tools are being applied in co‐management contexts globally. This was accomplished through two objectives: (i) to investigate the use and applications of geospatial tools in cases of natural resource co‐management; and (ii) to identify benefits and challenges associated with the use of these technologies. A total of 26 articles met the inclusion criteria for review; these encompassed a range of contexts, but were predominantly focused on co‐management of fisheries, protected areas, and forests. Case studies were analyzed through the lens of four tool‐based categories: participatory mapping, spatial data collection, remote sensing, and modelling. Findings suggest a wide range of applications, demonstrating the versatility of these tools including those used to measure the efficacy of co‐management. Frequently cited geospatial tool benefits included identifying space‐use patterns, determining the state of resources, capacity building, and monitoring change over time. Challenges with geospatial tools included issues of scale and generalization, data uncertainty, incomplete or poor data, and lack of trust. A primary conclusion from this study is that geospatial tools tend to be used in a participatory fashion, thereby contributing to key elements of co‐management such as trust building and knowledge co‐production.

工具时间：对地理空间工具及其在共同管理中的作用的评论

这项研究的总体目标是进行广泛的文献综述，以表征地理空间工具如何在全球共同管理环境中应用。这是通过两个目标实现的：（i）在自然资源共同管理的情况下调查地理空间工具的使用和应用；（ii）确定与使用这些技术相关的收益和挑战。共有26篇文章符合纳入标准进行审查；这些涵盖了各种背景，但主要集中于渔业，保护区和森林的共同管理。通过四个基于工具的类别对案例研究进行了分析：参与式制图，空间数据收集，遥感和建模。研究结果表明了广泛的应用，展示了这些工具的多功能性，包括用于衡量协同管理效力的工具。经常引用的地理空间工具优势包括识别空间使用模式，确定资源状态，能力建设以及监视随时间变化的情况。地理空间工具面临的挑战包括规模和泛化问题，数据不确定性，数据不完整或不良以及缺乏信任。这项研究的主要结论是地理空间工具倾向于以参与性方式使用，从而有助于共同管理的关键要素，例如建立信任和知识共同生产。地理空间工具面临的挑战包括规模和泛化，数据不确定性，数据不完整或不良以及缺乏信任等问题。这项研究的主要结论是地理空间工具倾向于以参与性方式使用，从而有助于共同管理的关键要素，例如建立信任和知识共同生产。地理空间工具面临的挑战包括规模和泛化问题，数据不确定性，数据不完整或不良以及缺乏信任。这项研究的主要结论是，地理空间工具倾向于以参与方式使用，从而有助于共同管理的关键要素，例如建立信任和知识共同生产。
