Community and city surveys are often the starting point in determining how residents rate a city’s services, staff, and tax rates, but these types of surveys are only the tip of the iceberg. Survey research and analytics can also address many other local issues and identify solutions to those problems. Research and analytics can also identify new opportunities to improve services, improve the community, and improve residents’ satisfaction.
Research Applications
Here are some applications of survey research and/or analytics to improve a city’s services and solve local problems:
- Surveys to measure residents’ satisfaction with public services or community operated utilities.
- Feasibility surveys to identify new services and facilities residents would like and use—and would be willing to pay for
- Research to improve city processes and procedures
- Analyses to develop optimal crime-reduction strategies
- Research and pretesting to improve chances of bond package approval
- Studies to learn how to promote a city as a tourist destination
- Research to optimize a city’s website, apps, and online interactions with residents
- Analyses to identify the optimal location for a new police station, library, or other facility
- Surveys to guide city council decisions when major issues arise
