Goalposts

The 0-to-100 score for this indicator is normalized against fixed methodology goalposts. The values below define the band; click through to the methodology page for the framework that anchors them.

Score 100 (raw value): 150 monuments
Score 0 (raw value): 0 monuments
Scoring: Log-transform normalization: log(1 + raw value) mapped linearly
Anchor: Fitted to the Thai provincial distribution

Goalposts of 0 and 150 Fine Arts Department-registered monuments per province are applied as a log-transform: log(1+0) = 0 maps to score 0; log(1+150) ≈ 5.02 maps to score 100. The log transform compresses the long-tail Thai distribution where Bangkok, Ayutthaya, and Sukhothai dominate the raw count. The FAD register replaces the UNESCO World Heritage Sites count as the scored heritage indicator at v1.0; UNESCO is retained as a display-only field.

Live distribution: 1 of 77 provinces clip at the score-100 ceiling ; 1 of 77 clip at the score-0 floor.
