Enriched Cultural Identity - the Purpose of the Measurements

Enriched Cultural Identity

-The Purpose of the measurements

The Purpose of the measurements is to find out how many times each person uses libraries in London. This is further reviewed by classifying whether the use of library is electric or non-electric. By doing so, the differentiation would give a better understanding on library usage. The measurements seem to aim at learning how the London citizens well respond to the benefit, which includes being more educative, more knowledgeable, and more well behaved in individual perspective, the City of London provides. These three measurements, library uses per person, and electric and non-electric uses as a percentage of total library uses, would give a fundamental guideline to direct which way or ways are more appropriate in both a short term and a long term.

- The Pros of the measurements

As a newly added strategic priority, this is the most revolutionized idea among all others of the Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP). While other programs deal with physical and interpersonal matters, such as roadways, transit, water, waste management, fire, police, and community activities, enriched cultural identity is more concentrated on individual well-beings in a mental standpoint. Enriching cultural identity is getting a more important factor in most developed countries, and also, these kinds of aspect are the mode to differentiate qualities of living in each country. The measurements do not only have macroscopic ideas, but microscopically, they give a possible solutions, or ideas for future terms. For example, it could be figured out that electric uses as a percentage of total library uses are increasing for a few years, which implies electric facilities, including computers, TVЎЇs, and DVDЎЇs, should be equipped enough for near future.

- The Cons of the Measurements

Since the priority is a recent development of MPMP, the system and its measurements seem to be less developed, or less expanded compared to other strategic priorities. The measurements related to the percentage factors of electric and non-electric uses are great ideas, however, this should be more classified, for example, by categorizing age groups, sexes, etc. Further, library uses per person should be more classified
