MAD shares the knowledge gained from field experiences, researches, and observations with the public by producing thematic publications as<br \/>\nwell as documentaries, videonews, and data visualization. Research-based publishing that highlights the issues of spatial justice is at the heart of MAD\u2019s activities. MAD carries out action-research that aims for social change, learns from the field, and simultaneously contributes to<br \/>\nthe field.

Some of the best examples of walking practice<br \/>\nat MAD include neighborhood walks, Urban Political Ecology Summer School, and trips to water basins. The act of walking is multi-dimensional. It has central importance for understanding spatial justice and the space beyond its image. It represents the dawn of humanity. It establishes relationship with history, different social groups, and space, and provides the opportunity to obtain first-hand knowledge. MAD centers walking as a research method, a pedagogical approach to formal and informal education, and an embodiment of the act of demanding spatial justice.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-12071u-90f0f3f6c754b38e2fc65d0df7d61417\">\n.av_font_icon.av-12071u-90f0f3f6c754b38e2fc65d0df7d61417 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:20px;\nline-height:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-12071u-90f0f3f6c754b38e2fc65d0df7d61417 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-flaticon av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\uf106' data-av_iconfont='flaticon' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> Mapping<\/h3>\n<p>MAD utilizes the techniques of participatory-mapping and counter-mapping in order to expose unequal power relations, environmental impacts of megaprojects, and public health hazards; and to spatialize struggles for justice in urban and rural spaces and to preserve collective memory.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-b2cp6-eb7b2b4654c542f093728f6aae829a0a\">\n.av_font_icon.av-b2cp6-eb7b2b4654c542f093728f6aae829a0a .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:20px;\nline-height:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-b2cp6-eb7b2b4654c542f093728f6aae829a0a avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue800' data-av_iconfont='fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> Documentary and video activism<\/h3>\n<p>MAD produces short video-news for social media, short documentaries, and videos as education material and advocacy tools.
