This volume continues the tradition now established since 2006, of
compiling excellent research into the practice and application of
community indicators in a single source volume. It focuses on the
theme of the Community Indicators Consortium 2020 Summit, as a
significant venue for the advancement of the practice and theory of
community indicators work. It covers the conference's theme of
"community resilience", which is the capacity of all of a
community's elements to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what
kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience. In
keeping with the practical, "best cases" emphasis of this book
series, the editors incorporate a case-based approach to chapters
discussing how specific indicators, indices or series of indicators
can lead to better decisions and outcomes to help communities adapt
and transform in the face of challenges, helping them prepare for
both the expected and the unexpected to sustain and improve quality
of life, including technology and open source approaches to data
sharing and data-focussed collaboration; evolving approaches that
use shared indicators to improve overall community well-being and
quality of life; research related to community indicators and
policy, application, research, and/or practice; and techniques and
approaches to measure resilience. This volume is of interest to
social scientists, management professionals, social workers and
policy makers working on various aspects of community indicators of
quality of life and well-being. Chapter "The Cost of Sea Level Rise
