Profile and Measurement of Social Well-Being Indicators for Use in the Evaluation of Water and Related Land Management Planning.

摘要

As a part of the continuing development of the Water Resources Assessment Methodology (WRAM), this report focuses on the Social Well-Being (SWB) account as defined by the Water Resource Council's 'Principles and Standards'. An outline of SWB categories, subcategories, and variables as interpreted from 'Principles and Standards' is included. In addition, for selected variables, definitions, information about measurement, and suggestions for prediction are provided. It is noted that although the set of variables discussed in this report assists in defining SWB, the list is tentative, not exhaustive, and is intended for use within the framework of WRAM. The particulars of each planning study and the judgment of professionals and publics will dictate omission of some variables and inclusion of others. (Author)
