In order to increase the number of citizens actively spending time outdoors, the municipality must address several complex issues. Managing all the initiatives, projects, and activities happening in the city is very challenging, making it difficult for residents to select relevant information due to its large volume, varied sources, and often outdated or irrelevant nature, making the communication process highly complex.The municipality believes that based on the survey data, it is possible to create an innovative platform or mobile application where residents can find relevant information promoting active leisure. Such a platform could integrate maps, routes, news, sports event calendars, create amateur sports communities, reserve infrastructure, and more. Citizens able to filter relevant information tailored to their personal interests could actively engage in ongoing initiatives and find other useful information. To popularize such a platform, gamification methods could be implemented, encouraging users to continue and achieve better results - this could include a point system, personal and city records, ratings for good ideas or photos, activity statistics, and prizes.
Panevėžys sees an opportunity to leverage social innovations in developing a web or app platform to address this challenge. While integration infrastructure and departments exist, in today's digital age, people often seek information online. Therefore, there is potential to connect them to the city's pulse and assist in their integration process more efficiently. By creating a user-friendly digital platform, residents, both returning citizens and newcomers, can access essential information, resources, and services tailored to their needs. This initiative aims to streamline the integration process, foster community engagement, and enhance the overall experience of individuals transitioning into life in Panevėžys.
