Let Me Tell You About Locus
Locus is a tool which encourages residents to participate in the community building process.
Communities using Locus can deploy a survey which allows residents to pinpoint the issues which matter to them in their community. Through a web-based application, residents can mark up maps and answer questions in an effort to provide their local knowledge & solve community challenges.
In doing so, they feel more involved in the process and more responsible for the solution. Showing these issues to community leaders allows them to work more effectively with planners and developers in identifying solutions.
With this in place, a community can better organize itself such that it can:
- respond to these issues in a more proactive way
- define long term goals
- utilize the unique strengths of both residents and city experts in solving these problems
