      A sociological survey dedicated to the future fate of the "Vodnik" stadium has begun in Nizhny Novgorod. It was prepared by specialists from N.I. Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University. Professor, Doctor of Sociological Sciences, head of the Department of General Sociology and Social Work at the Faculty of Social Sciences Sergey Sudyin took part in its development, the mayor's press service reported.

      As Artur Shtoyan, director of the Department of Social Communications and Youth Policy of the city administration, said, residents have long asked to be included in discussions about plans for the development of the area.

      "We have already begun distributing invitations through housing management companies, homeowners' associations (TSZh) and territorial public self-government bodies (TOS). People living near the stadium are actively interested in this topic and want to be involved in the process," he stressed.

      Anyone wishing can take part in the survey. To do so, you need to follow the link and answer 25 questions, choosing the most appropriate options.

      Data collection will continue until September 29. After that, university specialists will process the results, which will be presented at a meeting of the Public Council on the development of "Vodnik". The findings of the study are also planned to be shared with city residents.

      Recall that on August 29 the "Vodnik" site was closed because the stadium itself was declared structurally unsound. We told more about the fate of the sports facility here. In mid-September the composition of the "Vodnik" Public Council was formed, headed by Natalya Sadova.
