The illustration above is called a heatmap. Heatmaps show how indicators are represented across different geographical areas, illustrating regional differences to identify areas of concern or priority to tailor policies and programmes and to improve resource allocation more precisely. Indicators measure a particular phenomenon and the definition of the indicator can be found under the glossary search box. A score from 0 to 10 is calculated for each indicator. 0 means the phenomenon the indicator is measuring is not observed in the context at all, and 10 means that it is observed strongly and prevalently. For example, if we want to denote the extent to which people feel safe from violence in daily life, a score of 0 would mean that no one feels secure, while 10 would signify that every person feels secure.

Some indicators are on a scale of -10 to +10. These indicators measure positive and negative influences, or resilience and fragility factors. -10 indicates strong negative influence or a strong fragility factor, where as 0 indicates no influence, or a factor being neither a resilience capacity nor a fragility concern. 10 indicates strong positive influence or a strong resilience capacity.
