Neighbourhood participation includes all initiatives in which citizens have a say in their direct living environment and in local government policy. Often, these initiatives also take place in the context of the neighbourhood, which means that residents work together and bring in ideas to improve their neighbourhood.
Digital neighbourhood network Hoplr (iOS, Android, hoplr.com) unites and mobilises citizens to think and talk about their neighbourhood. Local governments and organisations can activate citizens and collect anonymous data.
Hoplr increases involvement in the neighbourhood, thus increasing the level of participation in projects. By bringing opportunities for participation to the broad local community, we also involve the silent majority.
We launched a number of ideas from the policy memorandum via our neighbourhood platform Hoplr. 1,831 votes were cast and 301 responses were received across the 10 statements. The first part of our participation process on the 2020-2025 policy memorandum has already been successful.Read the case study of Boechout

Citizen participation is an important task that brings along various challenges. Which method is most suitable? How do you safeguard representativeness? How do you translate a policy question into a participation question? What conclusions can you draw from a survey? Our participation experts are academic profiles who get excited by both data analysis and fieldwork.
