Citizens are invited to express their views or proposals by putting a marker in a spot, mark a stretch of road or a whole area on the map.
With the aid of the GeoPanel you can e.g. ask the questions: “Where is it safe to walk?” or “Where should we build a playground?” The marking on the map can also be connected to a written comment on the motives for the marking. All the answers have a geographical connection, and can be analysed in a GIS (Geographic Information System) in your municipality or organisation. Do not ask too many or too complicated questions. Try the questionnaire on a test group before sending it out. The GeoPanel allows many to contribute views and proposals irrespective of time and space. The gathered information can be compiled without any additional input – if you use a GIS map as a basis, the answers can be matched against various layers of the GIS system. The maps used in a web enquiry could also be printed and used in physical meetings. Access to good maps is a necessity for using the GeoPanel fully. This method can be used for an unlimited number of participants, but it requires access to the Internet. It requires well-reasoned questions – answering should be so simple that it takes a maximum of 15 minutes. Costs may vary depending on which competences are available within the organisation and how much consult time has to be purchased. (SALAR)
