INTRODUCTION

At the end of each thematic section, after the description of the indicators, is included a synthetic table listing the indicators used for the analysis of that specific thematic section and the synthetic conclusions derived by the interpretation of the indicators. You could include for each indicator: - Macro-objective : synthetic description of the main objectives to be pursued in relation to the sustainability principles determined at a European level (e.g. Aalborg Commitments); - Indicator typology: definition, in relation to the DPSIR model, of the indicator typology, or if it is a "Driving force" (D), "Pressure" (P), "State" (S), "Impact", "Response" (R) indicator; - Data source : list of the data sources used for the elaboration of the indicator (Statistic offices, Environmental Agencies, Planning Offices, etc…); - Territorial coverage of the data : definition of the territorial reference area of the data used for the calculation of the indicator (town, province, region, nation, etc…); - Time period of the data : indication of the time period to which the data refer (the time series of the available data or the last available year); - Trends : representation through the “arrow” symbol (horizontal, turned upward or turned downward), also with a synthetic description, of the current situation, with reference to the time series of available data (e.g. in comparison to the last years, today the situation is improved or worsened?); - Criticality : representation through the “smile” symbol, also with a synthetic description aimed at underlining if, with reference to the last available year, standards and objectives fixed by current regulations were respected (or compared to local, national or international level reference levels). Such evaluation keeps in mind the situation of other territorial realities, at the same or superior administrative level. (e.g. The situation is better or worse compared to other territorial realities, at the same or superior administrative level? Crisis points exist or you can talk of situations representing positive signals for the underlined problems?); - Responses/Actions : representation, through the “smile” symbol with a synthetic description, of the eventual presence/absence of actions and politics realised by the public administration or by other subjects. (e.g. Which positive actions were realised? Which actions should be strengthened or activated?)

Time trend, criticality and politics adopted for each indicator are represented, in the table, with a symbology generally used in 'Environmental Reporting' . The use of symbols (as smiles, arrows, etc.) and of synthetic comments facilitates the reading process and the description of the indicators, also for the non technical users. It will be therefore useful also in the management of the forums. For every symbol synthetically describing trends, criticality and actions, a synthetic comment is added: it is the result of the evaluations and the main conclusions made by the analysis of each indicator. Below the structure of the synthetic table and the label of the used symbology.
