Onwards

We found a person who translated the questionnaire in Swedish. We have it in 3 languages now. The questionnaire has been sent to the representatives from 5 associations (or actually 4 but I'll call one of them tomorrow and sent the last one after that). They told that they could answer those relatively soon. It is interesting to see how many answers we will get. Probably at least 5 but hopefully more. We found out that people are more willing to fill questionnaires than to do one-to-one interviews and therefore we decided to use the questionnaire. I attached some pictures of it here.

The questionnaire should on the website after the weekend. So next week we can call the newspapers again and ask if the small advertisement about the website and the questionnaire could be published soon.

We also got more background material (thanks to one guest lecturer from Finland's environmental administration). Lots of useful information.

So what is happening right now is roughly:

We are waiting for the first answers to the questionnaire.
The logo and website are being prepared.
The visual plan is designed (maps and pictures are being prepared by the architecture students).
We are contacting the newspapers again.

After two weeks all the material from the interviews (questionnaires) should be processed. Then we can make the final plans and write the report and the articles.

It is interesting to see what kind of answers we will get with the questionnaire. Some things have been very challenging, but everything seems to be going well for now.
