As main reasons for that have been identified: many existing local sustainability indicator systems are designed to meet a variety of targets. Any specific requirements are neglected. Second, most local sustainability indicator systems are designed and applied outside the political and administrative structures and processes of a local community. Their integration into the local context until now has not received enough attention. Third, the differentiation of modern societies makes the implementation of integrated approaches difficult. As a reaction, in this paper a modular design for indicator systems, is suggested and outlined in its main features. Downloads Download data is not yet available. References Fuhrich, M., Dosch, F.
