Download or read book Measuring Community Indicators written by Paul J. Gruenewald and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1997 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors argue that while highly aggregated national data performs a number of important research and policy functions, such data are distinct from community indicator data and are of questionable use to local policy oriented officials. They present a theoretical perspective - developed from community systems theory - as a basis for the practical strategies outlined in the book. They then cover such topics as different community indicators, the role of community surveys in filling the gaps in available "official statistics," and specific techniques for the primary collection of community indicator data (such as geographical mapping, systems of community data acquisition, and community contact maintenance).
