The Adaptation Strategy was devised with the involvement of the general public. Besides regular updates on the project (in the form of press releases), a feeling map of heat was also created. During the first half of August 2017, citizens had the opportunity to express their own personal perception of heat via the website fajnova.cz – i.e. a similar platform to the system used to collect citizens’ opinions when creating the Ostrava City Strategic Plan.

Citizens identified:

  1. Places where they felt good and enjoyed spending time during hot summer weather
  2. Places where they did not feel good during hot summer weather
  3. Places that should be changed in order to make them more pleasant in hot weather
  4. Places they recommend where summer visitors to Ostrava could spend time
