The Vaasa Idea Competition has 4 stages. The first stage provides general information and details of the competition. The second stage presents citizen-generated ideas from collected SoftGIS data and allows citizens to evaluate proposals. The third stage involves closing evaluations. The fourth stage will present evaluation results and comparisons of ideas and individual evaluations. The Participatory Urban Planning platform for Järvenpää has public, private, and admin areas. It involves a current experience questionnaire, allowing suggestions to improve habitation, visualizing other residents' feedback, and evaluating current planning projects.
