Social Cohesion and Reconciliation Index

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.

The maps are illustrative in nature and may not reflect the exact boundaries of the depicted areas.

Editorial notes

Path Analysis

Path Analyses (Models) represent relations between different indicators based on advanced statistical analysis including regression, network analysis and structural equation modelling. In models, the relationships are directional, and they should be read from left to right. When an indicator is part of a model, we call them ‘drivers’, as they drive (positively or negatively) other indicators they are linked to. In a model, the indicator that all the drivers are influencing and predicting is called an ‘outcome’. Outcomes are at the right end of the model, and they are usually our end goals that we want to influence in the long term. We run models to understand how best to create positive change on an outcome, such as constructive citizenship or migration tendency. Red connecting lines in models represent a negative relationship and blue connecting lines represent a positive relationship between indicators. Thicker the arrows, stronger the relationship between the indicators. Models have predictive power, they should not be confused with correlations, where lines represent associations but they are not directional.

Indicator Details

The sankey charts below illustrate the way an outcome is constructed by showing the indicators that make up the outcome. You can check the glossary description of all indicators by typing the indicator name into the glossary search box top right corner of this page. Please note that all indicators that have an asterisks (*) have been reverse coded when calculating the overall outcome score.

      This visualization presents the score of each indicator of the currently selected dimension. The score of each indicator is the weighted mean of its sub-indicators.

      Indicator Correlations

      This visualization presents the relationships between the indicators of the currently selected dimension. The number of the arrows represent how strongly correlated the different indicators are on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 1 (totally). The closer the number is to 1 the more highly correlated two indicators are.
