Closing the loop is a critical engagement step. Showing how community input has been processed ensures residents feel heard and remain engaged in future phases. This is easy, all you need is an online report, Maptionnaire Pages as we call it, that summarize key findings.
Real-time Transparency
Use the Analysis Tool to generate visual maps from your spatial findings. You can for instance create Heatmaps to show where responses were most clustered, or differentiate responses from different demographic groups by visualizing them in different colors. These can be embedded directly onto your project Pages.
Filterable Visuals
Allow stakeholders to interact with the results. Use the various data filters in your data analysis to export specified data so viewers can see how different age groups or neighborhoods responded to the same questions.
Professional Documentation
High-Resolution Exports for Official Documentation: For planning meetings and public displays, you can export your data visualizations as high-resolution images. This allows you to include detailed heatmaps and respondent clusters in printed planning statements or large-scale exhibition boards without losing clarity.

Native ArcGIS Integration: Beyond static reporting, you can bridge the gap between community feedback and technical planning by using the ArcGIS Integration. This allows you to stream your results directly into your organization’s GIS environment as a feature layer. By viewing public input alongside technical constraints in ArcGIS, planners can make more informed, data-driven decisions.

Data Portability
Maptionnaire is designed to work in harmony with your existing professional tools. By exporting results in GeoJSON, Shapefile and Excel formats, you can easily integrate community insights into your broader planning workflow. This allows planners to overlay community-generated spatial data directly onto master plans or environmental datasets in their own GIS software. Download data from questionnaire editor > Export.
