How does a PARTIMAP project work?
Help with planning PARTIMAP projects
A successful map-based questionnaire survey starts with a carefully planned project. PARTIMAP lets you combine traditional questionnaire questions with map tasks, so you can collect targeted feedback about a specific area or topic. The guide below walks you through the most important steps of project planning: from defining your goals and putting together the questionnaire to choosing the map tasks and launching the survey.
Community mapping step by step
Community mapping and data collection are methods that give local residents the opportunity to take an active part in preparing the decisions that affect their town or city. With PARTIMAP's map-based questionnaires, anyone can easily share their opinion about a particular place, problem or development idea.
This guide was written primarily for civil society organizations that want to involve local communities in preparing an issue, a development or a campaign. However, the methods and practical advice it presents can also be useful for local governments, planning institutions and businesses whenever it is important to learn the views of residents or other stakeholders.
In this chapter, we show how a PARTIMAP project is structured, which steps the community mapping process consists of, and what to pay attention to during implementation.
