Almost 200 responses were received to the market area development survey


To develop the Hollola market area, a survey was carried out in August 2024, collecting the perspectives and insights of various market users.
The survey could be answered electronically or on paper at the Hollola Main Library. In addition, visitors to the market were met and interviewed while attending the market events in August. A total of 190 responses were received.

The survey wanted to hear what kinds of things the market users and operators consider important? The most frequently mentioned things in the open-ended responses were:

  • services
  • landscaping and natural values
  • safety
  • cleanliness
  • comfort and aesthetics.

Respondents to the survey wanted free events for different age groups, such as culture, sports and food events. Structures that enable people to enjoy themselves, stay and do activities together in a safe and clean environment that is easy to get to were also considered important. Respondents wanted the market to have, for example, benches, planting, rubbish bins and signage.
Safety was also frequently mentioned in the responses (62 mentions). Respondents considered how all market users could feel safe when coming to the market. Car-free, alcohol-free and accessible were among the considerations. In addition, the responses presented a variety of perspectives on the market's structures, events and operations, as well as services.
