5) Despite higher costs of community-level primary data collection, it offers more reliable data that can be compared over time than most existing sources of data. 6) While many sources of existing data are available annually, compiling them annually is unlikely to reveal meaningful trends. Compiling existing data every three to five years (and averaging across the years) is likely enough to show trends in most indicators, even if they are available annually. 7) The advantage of this literature-driven (“expert driven”) approach for indicator selection is that it ensures a theoretical basis, but it lacks local perspective and community knowledge that may improve the selection of indicators. The most efficient and effective indicator selection processes may be where experts and community members “meet in the middle” and select indicators collaboratively, taking advantage of both sets of expertise. 8) Developing specific targets for these indicators is most appropriate after baseline data have been collected for each of the indicators. Selecting desired levels of improvement is inherently political and based on values so should involve stakeholders and community members. 9) There are many important and relevant indicators that could be selected but because of affordability issues or difficulty with measurability over time, were not recommended for measurement at the plan area level. For example, workshop participants suggested that the percent of household expenditures spent inside the plan area as a measure of economic leakage as an economic indicator but it would require a sample of households to record their expenditures by category of expenditure over a period of time. These types of indicators would require considerable resources to set up and implement at the plan area level and are recommended for individual community level indicators that can be measured on a smaller scale. Recommendations for the EBMWG: Develop and incorporate three new objectives on health, education, and social processes for Schedule C and G in addition to the existing objectives. Accept that existing sources of data for the North and Central Coast have serious limitations, and that primary data collection may be the best way to get reliable information that can be tracked over time. Consider the selection of indicators as an iterative process and accept that indicators will likely change as baseline data collection is attempted and further limitations and opportunities are uncovered. xxvii
Consider that local communities within the plan areas will have their own local priorities and definitions of human well-being. This list can serve as a menu or template for local communities who adapt and create their own localized lists. Set specific targets after baseline data are collected, and do so in consultation with stakeholders, community members and organizations involved in community development initiatives. Consult with community members and stakeholders about the criteria for selecting indicators. Take advantage of community knowledge by reviewing these proposed indicators collaboratively between experts and community members. Consider three types of primary data collection: employment survey, household survey, and community-based census using the Proxy Method. xxviii
