Reliable Data
Real Needs
Better Decisions

LOPI is a social engagement platform that helps identify residents’ needs across various areas of life, from transport and public spaces to infrastructure, health, and culture.


Collect opinions and local knowledge from residents, analyze needs, and make decisions that truly reflect the community’s expectations.

Local Needs Maps – Key Challenges

Effectively identifying residents’ needs is the foundation of good city management and sound decision-making. However, collecting reliable data and
opinions from diverse groups, especially younger people, busy residents or those who rarely participate in consultation, continue to be a major challenge.

Spacial accuracy is also crucial. Without the ability to pinpoint specific locations, it is difficult to determine where actual needs related to infrastructure, services, or public spaces exist. The lack of such data often results in solutions that do not reflect the real expectations of residents.

Once the data is collected, the next challenge is analyzing it and presenting the results in a way that is understandable to all stakeholders.

Without proper tools for visualization and communication, residents may feel overlooked or believe their voices do not matter. This, in turn, undermines trust in the consultation process and makes it harder to build social engagement.

Another challenge is reconciling the often conflicting needs of different groups: families with children, seniors, entrepreneurs, or people with disabilities.

Discover what LOPI can do for your city and municipality:

1

Reaching diverse social groups

Thanks to LOPI’s online tools it is possible to effectively reach diverse social groups, especially younger and busy people. For older residents, consultations can also be organized with the support of interviewers.
2

Convenience and accessibility

Participation in consultations is possible at any time. Residents can share their opinions in their spare moments: for example while riding a tram or waiting in line. Responses are saved automatically, so participation can be paused at any time and resumed later.
3

Data analysis and visualization

LOPI processes data in real time, and the collected results are presented in the form of charts, heat maps, and dashboards.
This makes analysis easier, supports drawing clear conclusions, and helps communicate consultation results to residents.
4

Easy consultation on urban changes

LOPI enables residents to mark specific locations and needs directly on the map. This helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that the collected data is precise and useful in the planning process.
5

Transparency and communication

With LOPI the consultation process is transparent. Residents know what happens with their feedback and see that it has a real impact on decisions. Clear presentation of results and keeping participants informed about next steps strengthens trust and community engagement.<br><br>
6

Expert and technical support

The LOPI team actively supports, advises and trains officials before and during public consultations. As a result consultations are well prepared, the entire process runs smoothly, residents are effectively engaged, and the outcomes are valuable and actionable.

Lopi connects data and space

LOPI is a unique combination of a geo-survey (LopiAsk), a discussion forum (LopiTalk), and an interactive map. These online tools allow you to quickly and cost-effectively reach a large and diverse group of residents.
All our modules are spatially enabled, allowing not only the collection but also the analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data.

Map as a point of reference

Residents can mark specific locations on an interactive map and indicate the exact spots of their needs or ideas.

Transparency and trust

Results are presented transparently, so residents can see how their feedback is used and what happens next.

Dialogue space

Residents can ask questions, share their opinions, and comment on proposals, while experts and public officials have the opportunity to explain the specifics, conditions, and any potential constraints.

Can LOPI be used for any consultation topic?

Is LOPI difficult for officials to use?

Do residents need special knowledge or an app to participate in consultations?

No. Residents do not need any special knowledge.

Our tools work directly in a web browser and are easy to use; they can be accessed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. For digitally excluded users, consultations can also be organized with the support of an interviewer.
