Community Indicators and the Collective Goods Criterion for Impact; Frank Ridzi.This book is the seventh volume in a series covering best practices in community quality of life indicators. The case studies and analysis in this volume demonstrate how community indicators projects today operate within a need to amplify the voice of disadvantaged communities, seriously explore the increasing use of information technology, produce positive community change and sustain these efforts over time. The work presented here spans North American and Australian community work and demonstrates how the field of community indicators has undergone a rapid evolution in only a few decades. Today as in their original formulations, community indicators projects are designed to gauge the social, economic and physical health and well-being of communities. .Community Quality-of-Life and Well-Being,2520-1107Quality of lifePublic administrationCommunity developmentSocial serviceStrategic planningLeadershipQuality of Life ResearchPublic AdministrationSocial Work and Community DevelopmentBusiness Strategy and LeadershipQuality of life.Public administration.Community development.Social service.Strategic planning.Leadership.Quality of Life Research.Public Administration.Social Work and Community Development.Business Strategy and Leadership.306.0723Holden Megedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPhillips Rhondaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStevens Chantaledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQCaOWtUBOOK9910252695503321Community Quality-of-Life Indicators: Best Cases VII2515478UNINA
