Lopi is a community engagement platform that supports green space planning from revitalizing small squares to creating and it is based on local data and community input.
Design parks, recreational areas and green spacesin line with the needs of residents and nature!
Effective planning of parks, green spaces or community forests requires not only expert knowledge, but above all reliable data and broad citizen engagement. Yet, gathering the opinions of different groups, especially those who are less active or busy, is still a challenge.
Precise location of the reported issuess and expectations is crucial. Without pinpointing exact locations, it is difficult to identify actual green space needs.
Once the opinions have been collected, the next task arises: analyzing the data and presenting the results in a clear and understandable way.
The lack of appropriate tools to present the results of consultations often leaves residents feeling overlooked and believing that their voice has little real impact on final decisions. Meanwhile, transparency and informing the community about the outcomes are crucial for building trust and support for ecological and environmental projects.
Another major challenge is reconciling the often conflicting expectations of green spaces.
– from recreation and sports to nature conservation and quiet areas, as well as infrastructural or development needs. Residents do not always understand why one solution was chosen over another and often lack knowledge about the ecological value of specific areas and the restrictions associated with them. This is why education and clear communication between residents, officials, and experts are so important.
For years, we have been supporting cities and municipalities in conducting public consultations on public spaces – including parks, squares or green and protected areas.
With LOPI, you can design green spaces that truly meet the needs of residents and the local ecosystem.
LOPI is a unique combination of geosurvey (LopiAsk), discussion forum (LopiTalk) and an interactive map.
These online tools allow us to reach a large, diverse group of residents quickly and cost-effectively.
All our modules have spatial attributes and enable not only collection, but also analysis of quantitative and qualitative data.
Residents can mark specific places on the interactive map and indicate the exact locations of their needs or ideas.
Transparency and trust
The results are presented transparently, allowing residents to see what happens next with their feedback.
Dialogue space
LOPI enables and supports communication. Residents can ask questions, share opinions, and comment on proposals, while officials and experts have the opportunity to explain their decisions.
