Community Resilience to Climate Change: Theory, Research and Practice

115 indicator, arguing that voter turnout nowadays cannot be seen as a proxy indicator for solidarity and community in Germany. The indicator associations was also critically reflected upon as being unable to capture civil society entirely. Still, the participants were in favour of the imperfect indicator associations instead of deleting the action field. In the survey, the dimension governance and its indicators were ranked high, and this result was confirmed in the workshop. Only one change was decided: replacing the contact point for participation processes with the number of conducted participation processes. Both were ranked very close in the survey with a mean of 3.3 and 3.4, respectively. Table 5. Indicator set after the survey, workshop and final set. 3.4. Urban Climate Resilience Indicator Set Since even the diverse group of participants of the workshop did not cover all topics of the indicator set, experts were interviewed. Furthermore, the results of the survey and the results of the workshop were summarized and merged. The final set of indicators is shown in Table 5 in the column MIS. Compared with the workshop set, the action field of biodiversity was seen crucial in its own right and better approximated by the indicator nature conservation and protection areas. Moreover, wetlands and retention areas were already covered by the state of the water bodies in line with the European Water Framework Directive regarding good ecological and chemical status. Hence, in order to create a balanced set of indicators, it was seen that the latter indicator added thematically more information and another aspect to the overall set. Secondly, the air action field was further developed, as cold air parcels and flows was difficult to interpret. The simple number or share of cold air parcels and streams were not clearly related to resulting air status. The ventilation status including the effects of air streams and cold air production parcels was therefore selected. For the wastewater action field introduced by the workshop, an expert interview recommended the indicator share of adopted sewer system. Another interview was conducted with the lower civil protection agency. The interviewee stressed the importance of
