Critical for Factors for Youth Thriving
The purpose of this report is to analyse the critical factors that support youth, ages 12 to 25, through critical life stage transitions and thriving throughout life. We adapted the most salient theoretical premises of Developmental Assets™, the Five Cs Model, and Self-Determination Theory to create a youth thriving model.

Place Score’s University peer reviewed methodology asks people to select what is most important to them relative to other attributes. The 50 Place Attributes are “universally valued” and were selected by a panel of Australians of all ages, backgrounds, and geographies.
By providing respondents with the range of attributes good places should have we are helping inform and educate them regarding the diverse considerations’ decision makers need to make. A traditional co-design engagement process is used with the initial attributes gained from the earlier process, to inform participants about the values of the people not in the room.
By representing the ‘common good’ there is a shift in responsibility from ‘what I want’ to ‘how do we get more of what really matters to our community?'
Place Score’s data comes directly from the users and residents of a place. They complete the assessment and provide demographic information as well as suburb of residence and mode of travel.
For a park environment we would set soft targets based the demographic population of the area. Our trained surveyors will approach a range of people over the allotted period to undertake the study. If surveyor collects data, but the sample is not , it is because a particular group were not using the park at the time of the study - and that is also a finding.
I do not think you can design and build a ’third place’ but you can seed and grow one. The physical infrastructure is important for setting the scene, but it does not guarantee the behaviours that occur there. In fact, as suggested, it can limit who feels welcome and what people feel they are ‘allowed’ to do in the space.
Even engagement and co-design alone does not guarantee a third place. What is also needed is an open governance structure, flexible management, and the invitation for the community to co-create and manage the space going forward.

Simple answer is no, there is no tool, only the existing static map.
Boundaries for First Nations people are quiet fluid so creating absolute boundaries is difficult.
“Third places” as community builders - to stabilize neighbourhoods the “third place” can strengthen the sense of community by providing people a place to spend time between home (‘first’ place) and work (‘second’ place). A place where we exchange ideas, have a good time, and build relationships.

Resources
Constant change requires us to continuously reimagine our way of living. And this way of thinking about renewal and change requires leadership and willingness to challenge business-as-usual practices within government.
Aboriginal people know that if we care for Country, it will care for us. For tens of thousands of years they have managed, cultivated and cared for the landscape where our towns and cities were established and continue to grow.
Inclusive Sport Design is a resource and web platform
The Social Value Self-Assessment Tool is a free tool designed to help users judge how well they are measuring and reporting on their social value, in line with the Principles of Social Value.
It is critical that we measure the social impact of any programs with a social purpose. As a society, we need to be able to demonstrate that the investment made in social services is making a real impact in the lives of vulnerable Australians. It is important that social programs delivered are good value for money (cost-effective), so our limited resources are used to create the greatest social impact possible.

Third place is a term coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg
The Great Good Place, 1989
It’s time to take back third places - the most effective third places come from the community.
Curbed is to advocate for the places where people live, by celebrating, chronicling, and explaining everything you need to know about homes, neighbourhoods, and cities.

3 Keys To Creating Great “Good Places”
The liveliest public spaces share a few core ingredients. the informal “public places on neutral ground where people can gather and interact. put aside their concerns and simply enjoy the company and conversation around them. These are the places of “regular, voluntary, informal, and happily anticipated gatherings of individuals beyond the realms of home and work.”
- Create a physical space that encourages social activity
- Mix public and private
- Mix uses
