This neighborhood events survey asks residents which activities interest them, what might prevent participation, and what organizers should consider for people living nearby. Use it before committing to an event plan.
The people most likely to attend are only part of a neighborhood. Nearby residents may have useful views about access, timing, and disruption even if they do not plan to join. This SurveyLegend questionnaire gives both groups a voice before organizers choose the activity and arrangements.
When to use this survey
Use it early, while there is still room to change the proposal. Define the neighborhood and a realistic planning period. Invite residents beyond an existing event mailing list. For the logistics of a confirmed event, use the event planning template instead.
7 questions for your neighborhood events survey
Think about possible activities in the neighborhood named in the invitation. Feedback is welcome whether or not you expect to attend. This is planning input, not registration or a commitment to volunteer. All questions are optional; avoid names, addresses and private details.

Customize your neighborhood events survey
Show only realistic activity and time options, while retaining space for a different idea. Ask about barriers without requesting diagnoses or household finances. Keep participation interest separate from views on local impacts; someone who will not attend can still identify a practical concern. Avoid leading questions that describe the event as something every resident should support.

Offer the same seven questions through a neighborhood meeting or leaflet for residents who prefer paper. Include a collection point and deadline. Review returned paper forms separately; they are not automatically included in online responses.

How to use the answers
Compare interest with barriers before treating nonattendance as disinterest. Review nearby-resident concerns regardless of attendance intention. Use the preferred update channel to plan communication, not to subscribe people automatically. Group open-ended data into changes the organizer can make, issues needing discussion, and suggestions outside the project's scope. Share what changed and what could not be accommodated; do not describe feedback as formal consent or an attendance forecast.
Allan Jepson, Alan Clarke, and Gillian Ragsdell’s 2014 conceptual paper discusses “inclusive participation within the planning and decision making process”. Their community festival research considers motivation, opportunity, and ability as a way to investigate engagement. This informs asking about interest and barriers separately. It is a conceptual framework, not a trial showing that this questionnaire increases participation.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an event registration form?
No. It gathers planning input. Use a separate registration process after the event details are confirmed.
Should residents who will not attend respond?
Yes. They may identify local impacts or participation barriers the organizer would otherwise miss.
Does a preferred communication method give permission to subscribe someone?
No. This survey records a preference without collecting contact details. Handle any actual subscription through its separate, clearly explained process.
