Place-based Citizen Engagement

Attract and engage a larger audience than traditional tools alone can achieve

Increase stakeholder involvement by appealing to a broader and more diverse population. Community Remarks is the merger between GIS and community mapping. It allows people to conveniently post their ideas, comments, and concerns to a website and relate them to a specific geographic location. GIS layers and project boundaries can be overlaid to seek direct feedback about a project area or parcel.

Cost effectively facilitate dialogue about land use: redevelopment opportunities, historic preservation, community character, and zoning. Use it as an asset map, preference survey, and feedback platform to provide a fun way for citizens to communicate about the quality of their neighborhood.

What people think of Community Remarks

If you’re looking for an effective way to engage residents and learn more about your community from the people who live there and know it best, I highly suggest using PlaceVision’s Community Remarks tool. Teska has integrated CR in over a dozen project websites to give residents a way to share their ideas and map comments online. It’s highly customizable, easy to use, and a great way to get the community involved. Community Remarks has been extremely effective in letting us know what to focus on for a variety of projects.

As a Urban Planning firm where public involvement is essential, we realized there was an unmet need for creative engagement. We have used this application for numerous projects which has allowed us to reach a more diverse and broader audience than traditional tools alone can achieve. Our clients appreciate an alternative, proactive, and innovative means to collect resident feedback.

The community comments tool has been a great way for AATA to gather community feedback quickly and systematically. The ability to PLOT comments has been extremely valuable. It is also nice for those making the comments, because they can see what others have said about the areas they care the most about.
