The city of Jyväskylä wants to hear from residents about their walking experiences and habits in Jyväskylä. What makes you walk and what prevents you from walking? Where do you feel comfortable as a pedestrian and in which places is it difficult to walk? As a resident, you have the best knowledge of how your neighborhood works in terms of walking and how the conditions should be improved. The survey is carried out to support the planning of Jyväskylä's new walking and cycling promotion program. All residents of Jyväskylä can answer the survey, either by themselves or with assistance.

During 2024, we will plan how walking and cycling can best be promoted in Jyväskylä in the coming years. The program aims to increase the share of walking and cycling in Jyväskylä through various measures. The completion of the program's goals is reviewed in the city on a cross-administrative basis every year, and related measures are clarified if necessary. The program will provide information to residents, decision-makers and experts about the development activities for walking and cycling. The preparation of the program is financed by Traficom.

In order for the program to be as successful as possible, the city is asking for residents' experiences and development suggestions related to walking. Share your thoughts by taking part in the survey and you will thus be involved in influencing the promotion of walking in the city.

Answering the survey takes about 10-20 minutes. The survey works best on a computer, but it is also possible to answer the survey on a phone and tablet. People living outside of Jyväskylä who walk around Jyväskylä can also answer the survey.

When you open the survey, you can change the language to English from the button.
To the survey

20 movie tickets to Finnkino and 5 x €50 gift cards to Stadium will be drawn among survey respondents.

The survey is open from April 22 to May 19, 2024.

The answers to the survey will be available at the end of August 2024 on the website of the city of Jyväskylä. The survey is carried out as part of the master's thesis for the program in Spatial Planning and Transportation Engineering at Aalto University.

Thank you for being part of building Jyväskylä a better walking city!
