Citizen Attitudinal Surveys

HMA has experience in designing, conducting, and analyzing community or citizen attutudinal surveys as both a stand alone task and as a starting point for projects involving a more comprehensive planning process. HMA works with its clients to draft a survey targeted in design and content to meet the needs of the particular planning effort.  Depending on the scope, HMA sometimes employs highly respected firms which specialize in telephone surveys. In many instances, HMA’s work on helping a community update their Plan of Conservation and Development will begin with performing a citizen attitudinal survey to understand the current viewpoints and opinions of community residents.  These surveys are a valuable tool in that they convey the general sentiment that residents have about their community, which provides a solid basis upon which to begin a comprehensive planning process.
