Tips on how to write about your project

Title of the project

is better to be nice and clear. "Suggest your ideas for _________ " or create a motto "Participate in the city development!", if the survey is used for city master-plan, for example. It is important that the title of the project is similar to the theme. If the survey is about the small park, don't create a loud and extremely fancy motto.

In the project description

be sure to specify who is the organizer of the survey, why the survey is being conducted, what will happen to the results. Specify the terms of the survey. Nicely and clearly describe what exactly you expect from the residents - a description of the problems of the territory/ideas for developing the current format of use. It is important that the text should not be too long, because the main thing is that respondents get to the survey form and the map sooner. In the text, you can give a link to an additional questionnaire or other materials. Do not forget to write instructions at the end of the text for setting markers and routes. It is given below.

Choose the layer for your map

that is the most suitable for your territory. If the survey is about a park or yard, then use the satellite view for better detail

Choose the categories of Marks and Routes

that are the most suitable for your project. Don't forget about the Other category. It will help to collect important ideas that may not fit into standard categories

Don't forget to leave the contact info

of the creators of the survey. This will cause more trust in you + residents will be able to contact you with questions

Attach a presentation

for a more detailed description of the territory. You can also attach any other documents - the general plan, official letters, etc.

If you have a subscription,

and not a demo version, then you can create projects such as Initiative Budgeting and Advanced Survey. We will send you additional instructions.
