Assets are the things that are important to the members of the community (people, things, services, resources, and connections) and that the community wants to keep, sustain, and build upon. Assets can be physical things or intangible things and fall into six general categories: political, built infrastructure, human, natural, financial, and cultural and social networks. Systematically assessing important assets creates a baseline for defining a path for change and improvement.  \nParticipants  \nOrganizations as well as communities can use this process. It can be used for small groups as well. The larger the group, the more time it will take to identify and develop agreement on the important assets.  \nProcess  \nThere are many ways to approach asset mapping. All approaches should produce a map of assets, as identified by the people intimately involved in the landscape. The output may look like a real map, an assets chart or wheel, or simply a list of assets.  \n1 of 4 10/2018  \nQUICK REFERENCE  \nThree possible approaches:  \n• The Whole Assets Approach takes into account all the assets that are part of people’s view of their immediate community. It is a systematic and balanced way to assess all the assets from natural, social, economic, and service components of the community system. Whole asset mapping is comprehensive and, although it takes longer, can provide a complete map of the community and its support system. Participants begin by listing assets by category—and then discuss the importance of these assets, threats to them, and how to sustain and build upon their collective value.  \n• The Storytelling Approach produces pieces of social history that reveal assets in the community. It identifies how assets that are often hidden or dormant can be combined with other assets to produce additional assets. For this approach, the facilitator asks each community member to share a story about a successful project that portrays how and why people come together to develop their community. The goal is to highlight stories where two or more assets came together to make a third (e.g., abandoned trails + sponsorships = trail for hiking, bicycling) .  \n• The Heritage Approach produces a picture (map or list) of those physical features, natural or built, that make the community a special place. Assets include natural heritage (e.g., rivers, parks), as well as built features. Almost anything on the landscape can be part of a community’s heritage if the people who live and work there feel it is significant to them. Meeting participants are asked to draw the most important features of their community on cards that are then shared. Once the information is compiled, participants discuss and agree on ‘key assets.’  \n2 of 4 10/2018  \nSteps:  \n1. Define your community. For example, choose a specific group of people, or base it on geographic boundaries.  \n2. Define what you want to do with the information collected. For example, create a community resource guide or a searchable database of organization resources.  \n3. Select what assets you want to identify. How you plan to use the information should guide what assets you want to identify.  \n4. Identify if an asset-mapping activity was already done. Will it provide the information you are looking for? What did or did not work well?  \n5. Develop a plan to collect the information. When do you need the data? What methods will you use to collect the information? What resources (people, copying, database work, facilitators) do you need to collect the information? Who is going to do what and by when?  \n6. Collect data on your assets, including resources that support assets, threats to assets, opportunities associated with assets, and strategies to sustain assets.  \n7. Map the assets of your organization or community. Use an actual map (e.g., GIS mappin","cbCaigfaYYc6NM9k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigfaYYc6NM9k","pdf",246853,"English","# Community Asset Mapping\n## Description and Asset Categories\n## Participants and Approaches\n## Process\n## Steps\n## Tips, Benefits, Considerations\n## Debrief\n## Resources Needed","[{\"question\":\"What is community asset mapping and what types of assets does it cover?\",\"answer\":\"It is a process for identifying and mapping community assets—things important to members, including people, services, resources, and connections.
