STAND RESULTS AVAILABLE APRIL 12!
03.25.2010 // by: Alison
We’re so very pleased to announce that data from the world’s largest community visioning effort will be publicly available on April 12, 2010! All 1.2 Million+ thoughts pulled from over 26,000 Stand surveys collected in the summer of 2009 will appear in a searchable database, making this invaluable information dynamic and customizable. Our countdown widget will be keeping track of every second until 12:00 AM on April 12th, so you don’t have to.
The back story on this information is as follows: The Center for Applied Social Research at UTC coded the data pool, and then the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies analyzed the entire set, pairing it with relevant information from State of the Chattanooga Region Reports. After nearly a year of hard work by everyone involved, Stand is ready for delivery.
Making the data public doesn’t necessarily make it accessible, however. To help users parse the results, Stand’s team has built several search capabilities into this site, including zip code, neighborhood, theme, question, and respondent’s demographic information when available.
In the coming months, champions in the community will also be taking Stand on the road. Look for presentations, printed collateral, posters, billboards, and community roundtable discussions, all focused on how we can best use this information set.
We’re excited, y’all!
