Item Information

snippet: The Datasheet is a compilation of policy and performance data on the 191 cities and six counties within the SCAG region. The Data has been collected across 29 sustainability indicators, with metrics for both policy, based on a 4-tiered ranking system, and performance data, based on a 5-tiered ranking system. An individual city or county’s policy and/or performance data may be accompanied by a URL link for users to find more information on the data collected.

description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset is comprised of policy data, performance data, accompanying URL links on each data entry if available, and indicator category average data. The table of attributes contains data across 29 sustainability indicators, with upwards to 28,000 data entries. Several empty columns exist within the sheet as placeholders for future data entries, with a majority of columns to be used for future performance data and a few columns to be used for category averages once additional performance data has been collected.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The Datasheet builds upon the previous iteration of the GRI, version 3.6, expanding the GRI from 28 sustainability indicators and 11 categories to 29 indicators and 12 categories. The dataset is used to develop the Green Region Initiative Sustainability Indicators Map which will provide a visual representation of both policy and performance progress being made in cities and counties throughout the SCAG region. It provides a resource for local governments to visualize sustainability progress, explore best practices, collaborate on programs, identify areas of opportunity, and assess and target the needs of communities. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Data source</SPAN></SPAN></P><P /><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 48;"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>Policy Data</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>: Developed by 2014-2015, 2015-2016, 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020 CivicSpark Fellows Primary data-collection sourced from policies or plans unique to each city or county for each indicator. Using the primary data-collection, the CivicSpark Fellows developed unique metrics for each indicator.

Metrics based on a 4-tiered system. Category Averages were recalculated in 2019-20 for Built Environment, Climate Action, Health, Motorized Transportation, Open Space, and Urban Greening. Category Average was removed from Water in 2019-20 due to the reassignment of the Stormwater Management Indicator to Urban Greening and no longer having enough data to calculate Category Average. Category Average created for the new Urban Greening Topic, which contains the Parks, Stormwater Management, and Urban Forestry Indicators. Open Space no longer has a Category Average for Performance because the Parks Indicator was moved into Urban Greening and the Farmland Indicator does not have Performance metrics.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P /><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Data year</SPAN></SPAN></P><P /><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 48;"><SPAN><SPAN>Due to the Datasheet building upon previous iterations of the GRI, there are multiple data years for which the data was collected, thus limiting the validity of the current data.
