13 SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS AND COMMUNITY SORTING Major disconnect exists between generating EVIDENCE and stakeholder understanding Elected officials, citizens, businesses. Indicators permit complexity to be SIMPLIFIED so decisions can be made on EVIDENCE. o VISUALIZATION IS KEY! Caution against the adoption of standardized indicators since local sensitivities may be obscured. Additionally, standardized indicators claim objectivity but must be normatively selected by someone (consultant/client). Importance of Linking Plans to Indicators. Importance of improving planning intelligence through BIG DATA mining. o How are Indicators/Urban Processes related? Page 13 of 25

14 Comprehensive Community Sustainability Indicator Analytics 1. Exploratory Analysis for clusters in data (Data Clusters). a. Evaluate data clusters and components. b. Rank communities on revealed data clusters from data reduction. 2. Exploratory Analysis for clusters in communities (Community typologies). 3. Evaluate Findings Page 14 of 25
