Abstract
This document outlines work done by graduate students in the Art and
Sustainable Society course in the University of Oregon Arts and Administration
Program during the Fall term 2010 and provides recommendations to the City of
Salem for further study. It can and should be used as an example and guide for
further community mapping.
The project focused on mapping the cultural resources of the Latino population
of Northeast Salem over the course of 10 weeks. The City of Salem is interested
in facilitating more engagement within this community through identification
of existing cultural resources, their patterns of use, and the gaps that exist
among them. The report reviews the students’ process of cultural mapping, the
information gathered, trends identified within the information, and suggestions
for further study and engagement.
