ParticipateDB

is a cloud-based civic engagement software allowing city officials to share proposals, collaborate with citizens, and obtain data on community engagement with the platform. Key features for citizen use: - Public consultation and idea collection through commenting, votes, surveys, and open proposals. - Single-step and multi-step ideation. - Co-creation of ideas and projects with two-way conversation mechanism, which enables discussion with other citizens and feedback from administrators. - Citizens can track the status of an idea (considered, accepted, rejected, implemented and archived). - Visualize ideas on maps. Citizens can pin their ideas on the map and see what is happening in their neighbourhood. - Citizens can filter content to find ideas of particular interest to them. Key features for administrators: - City brand customization (e.g. custom domain). - Administrators manage idea statuses (considered, accepted, rejected, implemented and archived). - Limit the consultation region to a specified geographic space. - Manage newsletters, information pages, and email notifications. - Segmented demographic analytics for administrators, as well as insights on engagement score.
