A research and development project based on the strategy of participatory action research, which produces citizens- and community-based information about the contents of a good life and how perceived well-being is structured in relation to the paradigm of sustainable wellbeing. In addition, the study examines citizens’ views on the holding and attraction factors of municipalities and how these challenge the vital work of municipalities in the future. In the development section, municipalities are supported in their statutory participation work. The research produces information and discussion topics about perceived and sustainable wellbeing, social sustainability and smart adaptation in the context of the Finnish rural.
