An SS4A Case Study in What Worked (and What Didn't)

For Planners

From public input to planning insight,
on one map-based platform.

Maptionnaire is a map-based community engagement platform for planners. Collect spatially referenced public input on interactive maps, then analyze it in the same platform. No Excel export, no GIS specialist, and engagement findings that are defensible, not decorative.

The problem

The gap between collecting input and using it well.

Data lives in five different places

Workshop sticky notes, an online survey tool, a kiosk export, and a spreadsheet someone's manually reconciling.

"This intersection is dangerous" has no location

Standard survey tools collect opinions disconnected from geography, so someone has to manually geocode every comment after the fact.

Analysis means Excel, or a GIS analyst

No middle ground between eyeballing a spreadsheet and hiring specialist help. And most mid-size firms don't have a GIS analyst on every project.

How it works

One platform that covers every stage of the process

Design the first question, collect responses, analyze the map, report the findings, communicate the decision — five stages, one connected platform, no tool-switching in between.

Design

Design the questionnaire

No more static PDFs or complicated website designers
  1. One builder for map questions and standard question types — nothing to stitch together
  2. Accessible and translatable from day one, not retrofitted later
  3. Reuse the structure as a template on your next project

Collect

Collect spatial input

No more generic survey tools and manual editing
  1. Respondents fill it out on phone, tablet, or desktop — no app to install, same survey either way
  2. Online, mobile, kiosk, and QR-code input all land in one dataset
  3. Nothing to manually re-key or reconcile afterward
  4. Fully hosted SaaS — no local install, no apps, no IT rollout, always the current version

THE DIFFEREnce Maptionnaire makes

Analyze the results. No GIS software, no data analyst.

No more exporting, importing, transfering and translating results
  • Filter the map, watch the linked charts update — and back again
  • No export, no pivot tables, no GIS analyst on call
  • Every number traces back to the underlying map data

"How do I defend these findings to a skeptical client or council?" Every chart traces back to the underlying map data, so the analysis holds up under questioning.

REPORT

Report the findings without rebuilding them in a slide deck.

No more manually built PowerPoint decks with sloppy screenshots
  1. Maps and charts export already branded for your client — not rebuilt slide by slide from screenshots
  2. Build a live, auto-updating online results page to share instead of a static file
  3. AI-surfaced themes from open-text responses, plus the underlying map data, generate straight into a PDF report — no separate coding pass, no rebuilding by hand
  4. Standardized PDF archive of every resident's comments, available on request

COMMUNICATE — BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER

Show the public and your government clients how their input is shaping the plan.

Not just the last step: the project page is live before, during, and after collection. It introduces the project, hosts the engagement, and keeps the results visible.

Before

The project page introduces the plan, the timeline, and how to take part.

During

Surveys, polls, and public discussion run right on the page.

After

The finished report is published right there on the same page — no separate site for people to find.

Fits into your stack. Secured to your standards.

Where it's used

Built for the projects that need spatial input.

Comprehensive & master plans

Visioning, drafting, public review, and adoption phases, each with its own round of spatial input. See how Mintier Harnish ran the Trinity County General Plan.

Transportation planning

Existing-conditions travel patterns, alternatives feedback on routes and stations, demographic cross-reference by user group.

Parks & recreation

Workshop sticky notes, an online survey tool, a kiosk export, and a spreadsheet someone's manually reconciling.

Vision Zero / Safe Streets (SS4A)

Residents mark unsafe intersections and avoided routes; GIS-compatible export feeds engineering and grant applications.

Neighborhood & district plans

Hybrid pop-up, kiosk, and online collection at parcel and block-level resolution. See how LandDesign ran it in North Wilkesboro.

Campus & institutional planning

Long-range planning for university, medical, or corporate campuses — input from distinct user groups sharing the same physical space.

Environmental planning & climate resilience

Spatial comment collection within a regulatory scoping window, environmental-justice cross-reference by demographic, GIS-compatible export straight into the EIR/EIS document.

Active transportation & mobility

Residents map where they currently walk or bike and where they'd go if the infrastructure existed; in-person walkshops feed the same dataset as the online survey.
