Section 5: D2.1: Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

Structure of indicators and metrics in DivAirCity

From the literature review and review of existing project results, the consolidated impacts, indicators, and metrics structure were developed. It reflects the multi-dimensional aspects of DivAirCity by including three impact areas, co-creation phases and cities to support each co-creation stage. The resulting indicators and metrics structure is the “ideal” structure given the latest state of the art and the expected impact assessments required at project and city levels in DivAirCity.

The indicators have been suggested by technical stakeholders and city partners from both theoretical and practical viewpoints.  The initial full list has been narrowed down into indicators which are presented in this section.  In the selection processes, four main criteria were applied: 

• the crucial indicators to provide data regarding air quality and 6+1 groups;
• the indicators contributing to inclusive governance;
• the indicators which are relevant to all five cities;
• the indicators to provide the data for target impacts (see page 9).

This initial selection process was conducted before validating the practicality based on the consultation with each city. In other words, these selected sets include both indicators that can easily be completed through the existing data and that might be challenging to collect but important. Through the future validation task, these selected sets of indicators will also contribute to identifying the data gap between the data which already exists and the data required for addressing equal access for diverse members of society to healthy air quality.
