If you live in the municipality of Gävle, are at least 15 years old and at most 79 years old, with no pre-existing mobility or cardiovascular issues you can participate in the study.

The study will run from September 2021 to November 2022.

There are several benefits associated with participating in the project.

• First, you get to be a citizen scientist. MyGävle gives you the opportunity to report what affect your happiness, life satisfaction, or sense of connection with your neighbourhood. It makes you an active producer of scientific data that will be then analysed at University of Gävle and taken into consideration in future planning of Gävle.
• Second, by using MyGävle you will be entered into the final raffles in December 2022. The collective prize value is of around 150.000 SEK and your chances to win are about 1 in 20. The prizes include GoGift cards to spend in Gävle and 5 electric bicycles each costing around 20.000 SEK. The more you engage with MyGävle the more chances you get to win these prizes.
• Third, you can one of the 400 people who will be selected in August 2021 and will be given a Garmin vìvosmart 4 fitness band at a symbolic cost of 99 SEK. In January 2023, after the study is terminated, arrangements can be taken if you want to keep the watch at no additional cost, otherwise you can return it.

You will be contributing to research that aims to understand how to create cities where individual, social, and ecological co-exist and promote each other. All the data that you provide us is the first step to eventually improve the living landscape of Gävle, which is where you live.
