Governance

OVERVIEW

Community Aspects:

IDENTITY

How strongly the community identifies as a group together, with a shared culture. Identity 4 or 5 might be a newborn boomtown, Identity 14 or 15 might be a longstanding ethnic enclave in a larger city.

PROSPERITY

Whether the community is economically stable. Are folks able to get by comfortably? Are folks living hand-to-mouth?

SAFETY

Are people physically safe in this community? Is their security under threat?

GOVERNANCE

The breadth and scope of government function. How well do governing institutions respond to the requirements of the community?

LEGITIMACY

Is the government regarded as representative of the community’s people? Are these seen as interlopers or leaders?

SUSTAINABILITY

Is the community’s usage of resources sustainable in the long run? Is support infrastructure properly available for the residents?
