Long story short
PARTIMAP is a free, easy-to-use and flexibly customisable map-based survey platform that can be used by researchers, civil society organisations, local governments and local communities alike. It allows you to combine survey data collection with map-based visualisation, and to gather feedback, opinions and local experience. PARTIMAP is particularly useful for centrally funded development projects, key policy questions or community planning processes, where the voice of those affected matters and results need to be available in a clear, visual and easily interpretable form.
When was the last time you were asked for your opinion on a development project that would impact your everyday life? Billions of euros are being used to renovate our urban spaces, public buildings and transport facilities. But public consultation and stakeholder involvement is often reduced to a formality. It is clear however that in order for a project to be successful, the needs and concerns of the people who use the new infrastructure on a daily basis must be taken into account alongside professional considerations. The modernization of a station is not the goal in itself, but rather to increase the number of people travelling by train. Smart benches don't make a public square a community place, only locals, if they grow to like it.
In detail
Participatory mapping: this is what they call the process by which the irreplaceable knowledge of those involved is built into the community development projects designed for them. PARTIMAP's map-based survey interface makes contact with citizens faster, more efficient and easier. After free registration, the program can be customised with your own branding and, thanks to its open source code, freely further developed. Whether you're a state body, a local government or a local advocacy group - if you're looking for a smart and transparent way to understand the opinions of those around you, try PARTIMAP and join the development!
Who is behind PARTIMAP?
PARTIMAP is developed by K-Monitor, a Budapest-based civil society organisation that has been working for the transparent use of public funds and against corruption since 2007. We believe that transparency only becomes a real force when citizens take an active part in community decisions, which is why we built PARTIMAP: to make participatory processes more accessible to everyone.
