Methodological challenges:

• NUTS are problematic at local level• Multiple geographical units• Timeliness• Cultural differences• Robustness & sample size• Data availability and co-ordination between agencies places limitations on what can be done.

Case studies

What does resilience and wellbeing mean in other neighbourhoods in Europe?

Local Level dataInventory of pan-European indicators

Les Roquetes (Barcelona) & Lindängen (Malmö)

Key findings from case studies

The data wasn’t capturing the strengths and needs in both these areas. For example:

• Sense of belonging to the local area• Volunteering• Ability to influence local decisions• Social capital• Financial security

This makes it difficult for local agencies to act accordingly

Page 15: E-Frame conference, Amsterdam, 09.02.14 Measuring social progress in communities.

Overall findings

• Country level data maps to WARM framework

• The larger the spatial unit, the more data there is available

• More data at individual level (eg. education, health, employment) rather than collective level (eg. neighbourliness, sense of belonging to local area)

• Local level wellbeing and resilience is often invisible in data

Therefore…

• Need to bridge top-down and bottom-up data collection

• Local agencies need to collectively find ways to capture this data

• Need to think of a role for crowd-sourced locally generated data
