A joint survey between district politics and initatives has potential to drive change. A survey means to ask inhabitants of an area what they like or don't like about status quo and what they want to change. The initiative has local knowledge of the area and knows what is important to ask. The survey results give politicans guidance what kind of change is backed up by the inhabitants. From our experience a joint survey is possible when
- 1 all involved people are amicable towards each other
- 2 there is a third neutral party (for example science project or neighbourhood management) that coordinates the process
On the one hand, this creates a picture of acceptance of the initiative's demands. On the other hand, cooperation with politicians creates a stronger sense of responsibility on the part of political decision-makers.
