✦ Synopsis

A number of parallel efforts with a common focus (on balancing environmental, economic, and social concerns) and an emphasis on community participation emerged during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Healthy Community and Sustainable Community movements, as well as a host of quality-of-life initiatives, are among them. All of these groups and projects share an interest in developing and using community indicators to collect data on which to base discussion and decisions. Indicators are used to illustrate current conditions, track trends over time, and identify important issues. Although the recent wave of community indicator projects has its own unique characteristics, the trend itself draws from a history of economic, social, urban, and more recently environmental indicators. The current use of indicators in community well-being movements owes a significant intellectual debt to the social indicators movement in particular, which has long advocated an expanded set of measures of human well-being beyond traditional economic indicators. 1
