youth in Wiesbaden continuing to experience a sense of security?
In the heart of Germany, the city of Wiesbaden has taken a significant step towards ensuring a safe environment for its younger residents. The city administration has launched an online survey aimed at gathering the safety feelings of young people aged 16-29, running from September 5 to the end of October.
The survey, conducted by the Office for Statistics and Urban Research, is a follow-up to a similar one conducted in 2019. Wiesbaden's Deputy Mayor for Smart City, Europe and Order, Maral Koohestanian (Volt), emphasised the importance of young people's impressions in city politics, as they offer unique experiences of the city through training, studies, and leisure activities.
The main focus of this survey is on recording individual safety perceptions. Participation in the survey is voluntary, and the city administration encourages all randomly selected persons to participate. Around 11,000 citizens in the age group have been invited to participate by post, with each individual receiving a letter containing an individual access code and QR codes leading to the German and English versions of the survey.
The goal of the survey is to obtain "city-specific insights" from the responses, which can be used to derive concrete areas of action. The city aims to identify "places of insecurity" in the city area and possible behavioral measures for prevention. The survey is carried out anonymously, ensuring the privacy of each participant.
Wiesbaden's Deputy Mayor for Road Traffic and City Police, Andreas Kowol (Greens), also appealed for participation in the survey. He stated that the results would play a significant role in ensuring a safe environment in Wiesbaden. The city's aim is to continue ensuring a safe environment for all people by relying on feedback from the population.
The survey's results from the latest round have not been explicitly stated as published in the provided search results. However, the city administration invited participation for this survey without specifying a publication date for the results. The survey aims to provide valuable insights into the safety perceptions of young people in Wiesbaden, contributing to a safer and more secure city for all.
