The development of a methodological framework for local and institutional
sustainability assessment can be helpful for planners and urban governments.
The aim of this research is to develop an approach to local and institutional
sustainability assessment (ALISA). It is designed to assist in the clarification,
formulation, preparation, selection, and ranking of key indicators to facilitate the
assessment of city sustainability at the local and institutional level in the Middle
Eastern and North African (MENA) cities.
The ALISA methodological framework is developed using joint documentary and
analysed data in the two case studies of Benghazi and Amman. The data for this
also includes focus-group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and
questionnaires that reflect the approach required in order to develop a combined
framework that assists the development of sustainability indicators.
The initial list of proposed sustainability indicators for Benghazi contains 37
indicators. This list was developed based on logical information and procedure
which has been supported by consultants and specialists in sustainability and
urbanization from the University of Benghazi in the form of workshops as well as
searching through the literature on sustainable development. Similarly, with
support from consultants and specialists in sustainability and urbanization from
the Applied science University a list of 36 indicators was also developed in
Amman.
Both lists were given to the local communities in Benghazi and Amman to be
ranked based on priority to identify two final lists of sustainability indicators. The
results indicated that economic and social indicators were highly ranked in
Benghazi and Amman, respectively.
