The diversity of stakeholders in planning processes causes a significant increase in the number and scope of articulated expectations, needs, and knowledge that could be integrated into the process. Along with the participatory approaches in spatial planning, a departure from the expert-oriented decision-making model towards its collaborative form is expected. As everyday users of space, residents have knowledge about the functioning of its elements resulting from their experience, the so-called experiential knowledge. The study aimed to investigate the role of residents\u2019 input in diagnosing space in spatial planning processes using public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS). The article presents the study\u2019s results conducted in Poznan, Poland, among residents and urban planners using geo-questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The article presents the characteristics of the residents\u2019 contribution to the spatial diagnosis and the possibilities and limitations of the involvement of residents\u2019 knowledge collected using a geoweb tool in the professional work of urban planners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12030102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,1]],"date-time":"2023-03-01T01:36:09Z","timestamp":1677634569000},"page":"102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Residents\u2019 Experiential Knowledge and Its Importance for Decision-Making Processes in Spatial Planning: A PPGIS Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8771-7885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edyta","family":"B\u0105kowska-Waldmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Human Geography and Planning, Adam Mickiewicz University, ul.
