What is a Neighborhood Feedback Survey?
A neighborhood feedback survey gathers place-based experience from residents and other local users. A focused version asks about one frequently used place or service so limited planning or maintenance resources can be discussed with clearer context.
When to use this template
Use this template before a neighborhood plan, maintenance cycle or community meeting when the organizer can explain what feedback will influence. It is not an emergency line or service-request tracker. Close the loop by publishing how responses were reviewed and what happens next.
Seven optional questions
Use these seven questions as a focused starting point. Every question is optional so the creator can preserve the exact set, remove an item that does not fit the context, or adapt choices before sharing. The template is original editorial content, not a validated scale.

How to adapt it
Replace place types with the neighborhood's actual decision scope and explain whether the survey concerns planning, maintenance or programming. If a map is later added, complete privacy and accessibility review first and avoid collecting exact personal routes. Translate and provide offline access where the engagement plan requires it. Review sensitive questions and open-ended analysis before launch. Keep each item tied to the stated task and avoid collecting data that the decision does not require.
Printable PDF version
Use the printable version at a community meeting, engagement table or neighborhood walk. It includes the same seven optional questions and writing space. Explain where completed forms should be returned and how they will be reviewed.

How to interpret responses
Prioritize with more than raw vote totals. Cross-tab place type, use frequency, quality, everyday impact and proposed review timing; then code the open answer into location and change themes. Preserve minority and accessibility concerns, document who was underrepresented and compare suggestions with feasibility and equity evidence before deciding.
Kyttä and colleagues developed a place-based planning model using “frequency of use and perceived quality of everyday places” to identify priority categories from participatory data in Espoo, Finland. That approach supports combining use and quality here, but the study used public-participation GIS and does not validate this non-map survey. See Kyttä et al. .
Frequently asked questions
Should the survey ask for a home address?
No. Define the neighborhood and ask about a place or service without collecting a respondent's exact residence or routine.
Do the most votes determine the project?
Not by themselves. Combine frequency, quality, impact, equity, feasibility and representation before making a decision.
How should organizers close the feedback loop?
Publish what was heard, how responses were reviewed, which decisions were influenced and why some suggestions cannot proceed yet.
