Beyond Profiling: Data Analysis: Introduction To The Local Development Indicators System
DATA PYRAMID
Combination of indicators designed to measure the overall condition of the object of study, etc. CPI, GDP, GVA, HDI, etc Single numbers, mostly ratios, which permit comparisons over time and space and have normative or policy implications Organized data, usually in the form of tables, not much value in themselves, require further analysis and interpretation
Concept Inputs
Definition of Indicators Variables used to measure progress towards goals Single numbers, mostly ratios, which permit comparisons over time and space and have normative or policy implications Direct and unambiguous measure of progress Approaches to Developing Indicators
Intermediate Indicators measure the factor or factors that determine an outcome or that contribute to the process of achieving an outcome.
Types of Indicators
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS SYSTEM
Intermediate indicators may be divided into input or output depending on the stage of the process.
Input indicators are measures of resources such as funds, technology or knowledge applied toward the achievement of goals or targets.
Output indicators are measures of the product of the application of resources, e.g. number of classrooms built, number of teachers trained, etc.
Final Indicators measure the effect of an intervention on individuals well-being. Final indicators may be divided into outcome and impact indicators
Types of Indicators
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS SYSTEM
Outcome Indicators capture access to, use of, or satisfaction with the services provided or received, e.g. access to clean water, proportion of mothers availing of family planning clinics, volume and frequency of letters of complaints, etc.
Impact Indicators measure key dimensions of well-being, e.g. freedom from hunger, literacy, good health, empowerment, security

Using the Local Development Indicators System (LDIS) for Data Analysis
Using the Local Development Indicators System (LDIS) for Data Analysis
Compare data for study area with known standards or benchmarks if no timeseries or spatial distribution of data is available
Using the Local Development Indicators System (LDIS) for Data Analysis
This entails probing into the causes or explanations behind the observed conditions.
It asks the question, Why? It provides the clue to finding more fundamental solutions by attacking the causes rather than the symptoms of the problems.
Using the Local Development Indicators System (LDIS) for Data Analysis
Restate the observation either based on statistical information or derived from map overlay analysis. Determine the cause or causes of the observed condition. If uncertain, formulate hypotheses or educated guesses to be validated later.

Using the Local Development Indicators System (LDIS) for Data Analysis It asks the question, So what? if no significant intervention is made
Analysis can be extended further into determining appropriate SOLUTION policy interventions S
If negative implications predominate, then the observed condition can be regarded as a problem. Formulate policies that either mitigate the inconvenience or solve the problem permanently.
Using the Local Development Indicators System (LDIS) for Data Analysis
If positive implications predominate, then the observed condition may be regarded as a potential.
SOLUTION
S
Policy interventions need not be limited to targeting the negative implications of observed conditions Positive implications need to be maintained and strengthened through policies that seek to sustain the beneficent effects.
Observed Conditions
Land classification Area of A & D is very small
Explanations (Causes)
Over 84% of total land area is forestland with some areas probably misclassified Not all A & D lands are subjected to cadastral survey; only the Kabilogan areas has completed cadastral survey
Policy Options
Small area devoted Work for release to agriculture & other of some crops forestlands into A Small taxable areas &D (small income for the Accelerate municipality cadastral survey Occupants of & titling of lands untitled lands are considered squatters & have no security of tenure Investors hesitate to develop untitled lands
Observed Conditions
Water as means of transportation and mobility
Explanations (Causes)
Absence of roads and bridges connecting to far-flung barangays
Policy Options
Embark on massive road and bridge building Maintain a municipal government operated ferry service that is multi-purpose Construct a pier for safe and reliable docking
