Lopi is a community engagement platform that supports green space planning from the revitalisation of small urban squares to the creation of parks and it is based on local data and community input.
Design parks, recreational areas and green spaces in line with the needs of residents and nature!
Effective planning of parks, squares, community forests, and other green areas requires both expert knowledge and reliable data, as well as broad public engagement. However, collecting opinions from diverse groups especially those who are less active or time-constrained remains a challenge.
Precise spatial referencing of expectations is crucial. Without indicating specific locations it is difficult to identify real needs related to green spaces.
Once opinions have been collected, another challenge arises: analyzing the data and presenting the results in a clear and accessible way.
The lack of appropriate tools to present the outcomes of consultations often makes residents feel overlooked and gives them the impression that their voices have no real impact on final decisions.
Yet transparency and clear communication of results are key to building trust and public support for ecological and environmental projects.
Another major challenge is reconciling the often conflicting expectations of green spaces.
– from recreation and sports, through nature protection and tranquillity, to infrastructure or development needs. Residents do not always understand why one solution was chosen over another and they 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.
and know how to address them.
For years, we have been supporting cities and municipalities in conducting public consultations on public spaces, including parks, squares, and green and protected areas.
With LOPI you can plan green spaces that truly respond to the needs of residents and the local ecosystem.
LOPI is a unique combination of a geo-survey (LopiAsk), a discussion forum (LopiTalk), and an interactive map.
These online tools make it possible to quickly and cost-effectively reach a large, 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.
Residents can mark specific places on an interactive map and precisely indicate the locations of their needs or ideas.<br><br>
Transparency and trust
The results are presented in a transparent way, and residents can see what happens next with their input.
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.
