Local Networking>Localism
Modeling alternative systems
The most typical examples involve food In general successful gardens that are accessible to the public, or those wanting to reproduce the model in some way.
Locally amenable modalities
A list chart or an estimate of the best suited type of local production for the local economy. This of course is highly dependent on local conditions, yet certain assumptions can be made that 'locally amenable" generally relies on lower investment cost and resources Additionally food grown and consumed are pretty consistent from town to town
Certainty of communication lines
In theory you could identify all the communications that go on in a given town The point here would be identifying the most crucial lines in regard to a set of priorities form the community and anticipate the best utilized methods of securing good communication in those areas
Self sufficiency/DIY
Self sufficiency can be just a kind of general meaning or a kind of measure DIY can be following DIY how to manuals, or a kind of separate meaning that deals with true innovation or creativity
Local support systems.
Perhaps best described as mutual aid How this 'aid' is incorporated , inspired, elicited, or incentivized. is part of the topic The need to amplify , or to provide an avenue for,for the aid is also part of the equation
Share/gift principles These principles
Ability to effect change
At the local level Both a loose type of measure, and to offer strategies This can be sen within a wide spectrum of change between just an increase in business going to local stores, and establishing a new local food coo op
Potential models for markets Using real world models of sectors that might be amenable within the locality
Certification and Insurance
This can include the official certification boards and types of insurance involved in the field in question Can also include alternative or locally grassroots inspired certification measure , and insurance probably is a tall order
Special Populations
Again each community will have different proportions of the more classically assigned markers for population, age, ethnicity, income etc, each community might choose other types of markers, especially local buying tendencies those identified by surveys So populations can have an extended sense of what a population is defined as
Resource Accounting
As usual the type of resources inventoried, are dependent on the condition of the community In theory a fairly coherent mapping of natural resources in terms of the local natural environment and soil, slopes
Degree to which local organization can provide local consumer with transparent practice
Process for new market creation
Process for market adaptation
