Vaasa, FI Maptionnaire urban planning surveys

Complete

The City of Vaasa's Zoning Department partnered with Maptionnaire to increase public participation in urban planning. The city uses Maptionnaire's engagement software to create surveys during the planning phase of its urban engineering projects. These online Maptionnaire surveys are then published on social media and through physical advertisements. Survey respondents provide feedback on the zoning map in order to provide the city's urban planners with more data.

Maptionnaire Supports the City of Vaasa with Zoning and City Planning — Maptionnaire | Community Engagement Platform

The City of Vaasa has a long history with Maptionnaire: the urban planners discovered Maptionnaire’s engagement software already in the early stages of development when the PPGIS (public participation GIS) method, which Maptionnaire’s technology is based on, was taking its first steps. In Vaasa, Maptionnaire is most commonly used in the planning phase to ask opinions about e.g. a zoning plan.

Project Succeeded

The Maptionnaire surveys in Vaasa have reached up to 500 respondents, which is considerably more than the average number of participants at public meetings.
