SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY There is agreement that theory must match the practice to achieve
consistency, yet there is not a well accepted social sustainability theory to
deal with social sustainability failures. Due to this, non-system thinking is
being used to address systematic problems. In my opinion, this inconsistency
between additive theory and systematic practice must be eliminated. In other
words, how can we expect to solve systematic problems using non-system based
theoretical tools? As it can be seen on the figure, there can be social sustainability. However, for social sustainability to exist, we must assume either that economic and environmental sustainability exist at the same time or that the economy and the environment are passive components of the system ready available for the sole purpose of fulfilling social goals. The above view provides a different way of looking at social development issues. The work presented or expected in this section deals with social sustainability theory and issues and ideas on how to develop practical applications. The work is divided in four categories: a) published work; b) work being evaluated/reviewed or on the way to publication; c) draft work available for evaluation/revision; and d) work in progress or planned. Links to servers where published work is available as well as abstracts are provided when possible.
