With Konveio’s latest innovation, planners no longer need to juggle multiple feedback tools—spatial feedback, document comments, and open public input now all live in one place. With our new Community Mapping tools, your stakeholders can  explore and comment on your ArcGIS Online maps and contributing real-world feedback through text, photos, and more.

Location-Based Feedback, Reimagined

Traditional engagement tools often treat maps as static images or offer blank basemaps separate from the rest of your planning materials. With Konveio, maps become living components of your engagement strategy. Users can click on geographic features, explore pop-ups, and add their own comments tied to precise locations—just like they would with a document or poster board on the platform.

Comments in Context—Geographically

Whether someone wants to flag a traffic issue at a specific intersection, suggest an amenity for a neighborhood park, or respond to a proposed zoning change, they can do so directly on the map. And because these comments are spatially referenced, they can be synced back into ArcGIS using Latitude and Longitude coordinates.

Visualize Change with Before-and-After Map Comparisons

Konveio’s Community Mapping also includes a powerful swipe map feature that enables side-by-side comparisons of different map layers—ideal for showing changes over time. Whether it’s a proposed zoning update, future land use scenario, or infrastructure improvements, stakeholders can interactively compare current conditions with planned changes by dragging a simple slider.

This visual tool makes it easier for residents to understand the real-world impact of proposals without needing to interpret complex GIS data. It encourages more informed, focused feedback by helping users see exactly what’s changing—where and how.

Streamlined Analysis with AI

Once feedback is collected, Konveio’s AI tools go to work. Comments are automatically tagged by topic, summarized for quicker review, and organized into themes to highlight community priorities. Sentiment analysis helps gauge how people feel about specific places or proposals—essential data for project teams and decision-makers alike. Even better, Konveio allows you to save attributes for each mapped feature along with the comment, making it easier to track patterns, identify hot spots, and compare feedback across locations. This structured data feeds directly into your reporting workflow, saving hours of manual sorting and analysis.

Integrated With Your Engagement Workflow

Unlike standalone GIS tools or public comment platforms, Konveio’s Community Mapping is built into our existing engagement hub. That means spatial feedback is collected in the same space as document reviews or hybrid workshops—keeping the user experience unified and your process cohesive.

Community Mapping on Konveio turns maps into a two-way conversation—one that reveals what your community really thinks, where it matters most.
