- 4. G A U G E Human Development Index • The Human Development Index was developed as an alternative to economic progress indicators and aimed to provide a broader measure that defined human development as a process of enlarging people’s choices and enhancing human capabilities. The measure is based on: • A long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth • Knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two- thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrolment ratio (with one-third weight) • A decent standard of living, as measured by GDP per capita (PPP US$).
- 5. G A U G E Ecological Footprint • An Ecological Footprint is an estimate of the amount of biologically productive land and sea required to provide the resources a human population consumes and absorb the corresponding waste. These estimates are based on consumption and production of waste in the following areas: • Food, measured in type and amount of food consumed • Shelter, measured in size, utilization and energy consumption • Mobility, measured in type of transport used and distances traveled • Goods, measured in type and quantity consumed • Services, measured in type and quantity consumed
- 6. G A U G E Built Environment Capability • Ecological Footprint (EF) Capability: Is a measure of the extent to which the built environment is configured and includes the characteristics required to support the achievement of Ecological Footprint targets as defined in the EF-HDI definition of sustainability. • Human Development Index (HDI) Capability: Is a measure of the extent to which the built environment is configured for includes the characteristics required to support the achievement of Human Development targets as defined in the EF-HDI definition of sustainability.
