Result of Questionnaire (Stakeholder Meeting)

Since we can't still meet someone from the city, we only did a survey to exchange students. We have got 21 answers.

We asked:
1. Do you use any applications while traveling?
2. Which application do you use?
3. What do you use for?
4. Have you noticed any missing features in the applications you have used?
5. How long have you been in Turku?
6. Do you feed that the time spent here in Turku could have been more productive?
7. How easy has the seeking of information been on the internet?
8. How likely would you use an application that offers everything you need to your travels?
9. Insert your suggestions here.


One of the answers stated "I would like to find an application which will show me with attractions. Moreover, I like to visit unknown places-locals tips are very helpful."
We could confirmed that there is definitely high demand for our project.
