The results show that 73% of the respondents are proud of their community and show 89% to feel good. Furthermore, 60% believe in the future viability.

The evaluation carried out by Irene Kerschbaumer and Maria Huemer also revealed potential for improvement in areas such as the center of town, environment and mobility. Frequently expressed wishes include the opening of a petrol station, a regional shop and the provision of a youth meeting point. This shows that not only the seniors, but also younger citizens are actively interested in the future of their community.

challenges in the health sector

An important topic that was discussed in the survey is the lack of specialists and private doctors. Medical care in rural areas faces challenges that require mobile services and local institutions. The need for age -appropriate apartments and services must be continuously evaluated by citizen feedback. This is particularly important for ensuring help in everyday life and barrier -free shops.

The development of future -oriented concepts for the aging society is essential. The results of the citizen survey serve as an important basis for identifying necessary changes in the community. The municipality of Neuhofen shows a proactive approach to recognize and react to the needs of its citizens.
