(1983) and Lee and Eckert (2002) conducted some of the foundational work on the social conditions of communities economically reliant on natural resources. However, the assumptions that link community and individual well-being solely to timber supply are not supported in the current literature. The complexity of factors affecting human communities and increased knowledge of their dynamic ecology have led to a call for a more holistic approach to indicator selection that includes dimensions such as health and education in addition to economic factors. Human well-being is a subjective concept; some people assert that health status is the defining factor in well-being while others believe that life satisfaction is the ultimate factor. For this project, nine human well-being indicator frameworks and indices representing various fields of study (such as sociology and health) and world views were reviewed. Several provide a well-being index score that is calculated through a formula, while others provide structures in which indicators are framed. The frameworks and indices include: Canadian Well-being Index MacKendrick/Parkins synthesis framework Human Development Index (HDI-United Nations Development Program) Human Development Index for Registered Indians First Nations Community Well-being Index Genuine Progress Index Quality of Life Index Prescott-Allen/Coast Information Team well-being index BC Stats Socio-Economics Index Table 1 shows the nine frameworks and indices reviewed for this <strong>report</strong>. Compared side by side, five themes emerged that are dominant across indices and frameworks. These include: 1) Social processes 2) Education 3) Economics 4) Health (physical and mental) 5) Culture 17
