Answers to the questionnaire about Helsinki's national city park

The dataset includes the answers to the online survey about the National Urban Park of Helsinki. The online survey, open to all, started in autumn 2017 and was open until 17 December 2017. The responses contain data on the areas and places that residents would like to see included in the potential National Urban Park of Helsinki.

The online survey was part of the City of Helsinki’s investigations into the possibility of establishing a National Urban Park in Helsinki. With the survey, the City was hoping to locate the most refreshing and the most beautiful places in the city as well as the places that best exemplify Helsinki. The survey also allowed respondents to mark routes and places on a map that should be developed or that showed potential.

The City of Helsinki is piloting its new participation and interaction model as part of the National Urban Park investigations. In addition to the online survey, the pilot project has launched interest group workshops, with other forms of participation to be developed as the project continues. The cooperation partners in the investigations include the Kansallinen kaupunkipuisto Helsinkiin! movement.
