Abstract
Geo-questionnaires have been used in a variety of domains to collect public preferences, behavioural patterns,
and spatially-explicit local knowledge, for academic research and environmental and urban planning. This paper
provides an overview of the method focusing on the methodical characteristics of geo-questionnaires including software
functions, types of collected data, and techniques of data analysis. The paper also discusses broader methodical
issues related to the practice of deploying geo-questionnaires such as respondent selection and recruitment, representativeness,
and data quality. The discussion of methodical issues is followed by an overview of the recent examples of
geo-questionnaire applications in Poland, and the discussion of socio-technical aspects of geo-questionnaire use in
spatial planning.
