Maptionnaire is a hassle-free community engagement platform. It enables city planners to easily collect local insights and make GIS-backed decisions. At Maptionnaire’s core are map-based tools for designing questionnaires, collecting information, and analyzing data. Maptionnaire helps planners and local governments to collaborate, report, and communicate about community engagement and participatory budgeting projects with citizens and stakeholders, as well as internally within the organization. Maptionnaire is a subscription-based service that comes in three plans: Collect, Communicate, and Innovate. Each plan contains a set of modules serving the different needs of effective community engagement. ⚬ Collect is the essential toolkit for planners looking to build online map-based surveys and collect GIS data. ⚬ Communicate is a solution for planners and cities to run community engagement activities and establish effective communication with citizens. ⚬ Innovate is designed for building and managing multi-stage participation processes, including participatory budgeting. There are also add-on modules that you can get in addition to any of the plans: Gamified Decision Making, Real-time Feedback Map, Automized Public Hearing, and 3D Collaboration. Maptionnaire software is browser-based and works with any device. The service always includes technical support and training. Maptionnaire’s story began when a group of urban planners discovered an emerging problem: there was an increasing need for city planners to engage the public and to get real input from local residents. Mapita Oy was founded in 2011 in Helsinki to provide a platform for anyone to create their own map-based surveys and improve community engagement. Since then, Maptionnaire’s customers have gathered more than 25 million responses that influenced 13,000+ planning projects across 40 countries. For more information, visit maptionnaire.com.
