自《21世纪议程》以来,地方政府一直在寻求让城市公民参与创建更可持续的城市的方法。社区花园活动经常被描述为对社会和环境可持续的当地社区的发展做出了积极贡献,但尚未建立一套适当的指标来评估这些效益。指标是通过参与性进程形成的,使个人能够使用和学习。这可以有效地促进政策决定,并对城市规划者和当地社区园丁有意义。制定了一套符合地方政府政策领域和问责框架的社会和生态指标。指标是与当地政府官员、CG成员和行业专家共同得出的。设计的指标,可以现实地由CG参与者进行监测,并在政治和意识形态上使用地方政府和更广泛的社区利益相关者的实际必要性,证明。
Since Agenda 21, local governments have sought ways of engaging urban citizens in the creation of more sustainable cities. Community garden (CG) activities are frequently described as contributing positively to the development of socially and environmentally sustainable local communities, yet a suitable set of indicators for valuing these benefits are yet to be established. Indicators were formed through a participatory process allowing individuals to use and learn from them. This can usefully contribute to policy decisions and be meaningful to urban planners and local community gardeners. A set of social and ecological indicators that aligned with local government policy areas and accountability frameworks were developed. Indicators were derived with local government officers, CG members, and industry experts. The practical necessity of devising indicators that can realistically be monitored by CG participants and be of political and ideological use to local governments and wider community stakeholders, is demonstrated.
