WHERE PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES / WHERE EVERYTHING HAPPENS
|
Everything happens in PLACE, it is where people live and work and play, and, it is where economic activity consumes resources, degrades the environment and produces products that a needed and wanted by people.
The performance of place depends a lot on the people or human capital of the place ... their culture, their character, their skills and a host of other people characteristics.
The performance of place also depends on the natural capital of the place.
Over the course of history places have been successful when human capital and natural capital complement each other.

AN EFFECTIVE LOCUS FOR MANAGEMENT METRICS
|
A PLACE does not move ... it stays in the same location for ever. This is a basis for reliable comparative performance over time.
I grew up in Okehampton, Devon, England. In the 1950s, its population was a little over 4,000 people, up from around 3,500 in the 1930s. According to the' Domesday Book' prepared by William the Conqueror after the Norman Conquest of 1066, Okehamption, the place, had a population of a few hundred people. The ruins of a Norman castle remain in the town to this day.
The persistence of a place contrasts with the ephemeral nature of 'projects' and metrics that are 'one-off' and specific to a unique situation. In the official development assistance (ODA) world occupied by the World Bank, other Development Banks, the United Nations and NGOs, 'projects' are a common form of performance evaluation. These typically exist for a short period of time and spread over large areas which make meaningful accountability incredibly difficult.

PLACE CONTRIBUTES TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE
|
PEOPLE contribute to quality of life that is, family and friends, community, society ... all interacting in the place
It is also about what the NATURAL CAPITAL of the PLACE offers
It is also about the PEOPLE BUILT STRUCTURES and SYSTEMS ... the CREATED CAPITAL of many sorts that are in the PLACE and facilitate much of what goes on in the PLACE and especially the organizations that employ people and provide products and services needed to support quality of life.

PLACE IS WHERE NATURAL CAPITAL IS DEGRADED, whether it is degradation of the land, water pollution, air pollution, resource exploitation or greenhouse gases.
PLACE IS WHERE PEOPLE BUILT STRUCTURES are located, structures with financial value, personal utility AND an environmental cost.

THE PEOPLE / HUMAN CAPITAL DIMENSION OF THE PLACE
POPULATION / PEOPLE are a most important asset and especially young people, and those with capacity to contribute
|
|
|
The STATE of the POPULATION is a major element in the STATE of the PLACE. This is both about QUALITY OF LIFE and STANDARD OF LIVING of the PEOPLE which depends on access to a variety of PRODUCTS (goods and services) which has many COST OF LIVING components as well as their ability to CONTRIBUTE
QUALITY OF LIFE / STANDARD OF LIVING
... FOOD
... WATER
... SHELTER
... CLOTHING / STUFF
... ACCESS TO OTHER SERVICES like retail stores, gas stations, healthcare, childcare, eldercare, education, roads / transport, utilities, public safety, etc is an important factor in the STATE of the POPULATION
... ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT - income and jobs are important in quality of life and the ability to pay for essential needs and other things needed for quality of life.
... ACCESS TO CULTURE / RELIGION / RECREATION
... ACCESS TO SOCIAL SAFETY NET
POTENTIAL TO CONTRIBUTE
... PARENTING and other family oriented care-giving is a valuable part of QUALITY OF LIFE
... ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT - II provides an organizational setting for people to CONTRIBUTE and to be paid for it
... PRO-BONO VOLUNTEERING is another way to make CONTRIBUTION.
|
|
|
THE NATURAL CAPITAL DIMENSION OF THE PLACE
LOCATION / LAND / WATER / AIR / CLIMATE / ECOSYSTEM SERVICES / BIODIVERSITY / NATURAL RESOURCES
|
|
|
LAND In its natural state the LAND has certain natural characteristics which are changed when there is 'development'. In most cases the NATURAL VALUE will decline as the BUILT VALUE increases. BOTH must be taken into consideration.
LAND - PEOPLE BUILT LAND USE for HUMAN ACTIVITIES, BUILT STRUCTURES, PROCESSES. ETC. ranging from large scale crop mono-culture agriculture, to mining, to deforestation, to mangrove destruction.
LAND - ECOSYSTEM SERVICES are essential for a natural equilibrium but totally ignored in the pursuit of profit. They much be valued and they must be numbered.
LAND - NATURAL BIODIVERSITY has been billions of years in the making, and might be just hundreds of years in reaching extinction on a massive scale. This much be valued and must be numbered.
WATER There are both FLOWS of WATER and STOCKS of WATER. There is also the QUALITY of the WATER and what it can be used for. Some WATER is CONSUMED and some WATER is contaminated. Contaminated water may be treated or it may simply flow downstream through a watershed doing damage as it goes.
AIR / ATMOSPHERE - LOCAL POLLUTION has a direct impact on human health at the local level.
AIR / ATMOSPHERE - ATMOSPHEIRC POLLUTION including Ozone depletion, Greenhouse Gases which fundamentally change the way in which solar energy reaches earth caused by emissions of OO2 and other gases at a local level but with global consequences like global warming, acid rain, etc.
CLIMATE determines many aspects of what is possible in a PLACE. Some places have rainfall, others do not. Some have temperate climate (moderate temperatures) while others are tropical and others are very cold. Some places have violent weather events ... hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones, etc, Climate change is an existential threat because many established bio-systems cannot adjust rapidly enough and will become extinct.

PLACE / COMMUNITY ANALYSIS
|
Community Analysis
TVM enables community focus. The frequency of TVM analysis depends on the natural frequency of the subject matter and the objective of the analysis. TVM reporting aims to make the result of analysis easily accessible, convenient and timely. The purpose of TVM analysis and reporting is to facilitate decision making that improves the quality of life of people in a community.
Elements for Community Analysis
The primary community elements are the following:
- People ... families
- Organizations
- Sectors
- Activities
- Programs and projects
- Events
- Resources
- Constraints
- Possibilities ... potential
Complexity
The socio-economic interactions in a community are complex ... and probably the critical determinant in the process of progress. The graphic below sets out some of the pieces of the puzzle ... people and the family, the extended family and friends ... all together are the base building block of community.
In community there are all sorts of activities that go on ... economic, cultural, spiritual. All have varying importance. All interact with each other in a multitude of ways. They all have some role in success ... or they serve to constrain and limit progress.
Governance
There is also governance. Human society requires governance and creates governance ... it may be light, or not. Governance that is internal and local has some advantages over external governance that may be less relevant for local conditions. A mix of both may well be best ... and result in a favorable enabling environment.
Organization and Organizations
There is also organization. Without organization, people are severely limited ... but with organization people can do collectively many things that they cannot do on their own.
Organizations ... High performance economic activities are invariably carried out by organizations. It is possible for individuals to do significant creative work, but production needs organization and organized investment.
Management System / Organizational Framework
More than anything else, a system is needed that allows the people of a community to self organize and optimize how the resources of the community are best used. A good set of appropriate performance metrics is a starting point for such a foundation.
TrueValueMetrics (TVM) is a system of metrics for socio-economic measurement that builds on the two key ideas:
- the basic concepts of money accountancy used by organizations; and
- the idea that this can be modified so that it has community focus rather than organization focus, embracing accounting for value as well as simply accounting for money.
TVM note: The key concepts of money accountancy used by organizations are
- the idea of double entry; and
- the organization of data into accounts that either relate to operations, or relate to the balance sheet.
These ideas make it possible to draw conclusions about progress without having a full set of performance data but without compromising the reliability of the conclusion.
The system of accountancy that is used by organizations record money transactions and prepare reports to the stakeholders of the organization. There is a tremendous pool of experience associated with this work ... but it has the weakness that the impact on society (human/social capital) has never been part of the system which also has excluded impact on environment (natural capital).
Granularity
Even though a community is simpler ... it is still quite complex, but this complexity can be understood. Though there may be many relationships, they are relatively simple, and therefore, understandable. At the community level people have names, and are not merely part of a statistical pool. Activities are tangible, and accounting for costs and results is an exercise that everyone with interest can understand. The community is where progress dynamics are easier to understand and where measurement has more clarity.

FSG-Redefining-Expectations-for-Place-based-Philanthropy
Key Points: This article discusses how The California Endowment has used a midcourse strategic review to refine Building Healthy Communities, aiming to provide insight for other place-based initiatives and to add to the body of knowledge about how to support transformative community change. ·
With Building Healthy Communities, the endowment is taking a new approach to community change using a dual strategy to build community capacity in 14 places and scale the impact of its local efforts through statewide policy advocacy and communications.
In 2013, it commissioned a strategic review to reflect on what it has learned from the first three years of this innovation in place-based work. · Through interviews, focus groups, surveys, and document review, examples have emerged of how this unique approach is contributing to community change. The review also surfaced tensions created by the design and implementation of the strategy that could impede progress.

Issue
Community
|
Basic observation
Community has been ignored by ORDA organizations. Lip service is paid to community and participative processes with rapid visits by experts. Most communities have seen very little of development importance in past sixty years. A vast missing link in the development process .
|
Prevailing response
A growing amount of “participative” development assistance, but the process is still controlled by the donors and the “top” of the socio-economic hierarchy
|
A better response
Community Centric Sustainable Development (CCSD) puts the community at the center of economic progress. It builds on the idea that not only “all politics is local”, but that “all living is local”. A key part of CCSD is using a set of metrics to measure activity cost and the related values within the community.
