Which of the following is NOT one of the three aspects of a community included in asset mapping?

• A. People
• B. Places
• C. Systems
• D. Policies

Answer: (D)

Asset mapping aims to identify community strengths by classifying assets into three domains: People, Places, and Systems. People include individuals and social networks who can contribute time, skills, leadership, or informal support. Places cover the physical locations where community life happens and where activities can be hosted. Systems refer to the network of organizations, institutions, partnerships, and the processes that connect people and places, including how services are delivered and resources flow. Policies, while influential, are not listed as a separate domain in this framework; they are part of the broader systemic context that can enable or hinder action. Thus policies are not one of the three asset-map categories.
