Abstract:
Sustainable Tourism Development (STD) consists of three dimensions known as environment, economic and social. Although these three dimensions influence each other and cannot stand on their own, and are assumed to be supportive to each other and compatible. However, most studies focus on the environmental and economic dimensions. The social dimension gains less attention and is difficult to attain and operationalize. In order to implement a balanced and successful STD, it needs to be supported by all the tourism stakeholder, including the tourist itself. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the social dimension of STDs and also tourist behavior regarding their social conscious. However, the discussions and understanding of social dimension in STD and socially conscious behavior are still limited. This study aims to define a clear understanding and definition of social dimension of STD which in this study is referred as social sustainability and also a socially conscious tourist. Starting with exploring the aspect of social dimensions formulation and exploring clear definitions of social dimensions of STD's and socially conscious tourist. This study is an exploratory study that aims to explore the boundaries of social dimension of STD and to develop a construct of socially responsible tourist. This study is a qualitative approaches, which includes systematic literature review and Delphi method to obtain expert judgment to gather social dimension aspects of sustainable development, especially in STD. The results of this study are social dimension’s aspects of STD, an understanding of social sustainability and socially conscious tourist in STD.

Abstract:
Attempts to measure sustainability of farms are usually based on indicators of a set of sustainability dimensions. According to the literature, analyses should (but quite often do not) cover not only the level, but also the relations between the sustainability dimensions, because we could expect complementarity, synergies or competition between the sustainability goals. The aim of this paper was to measure and assess the interdependencies between dimensions of farms’ sustainability. The research was carried out on 601 farms that participate in the Polish Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), with the use of standard FADN data supported by additional information from interviews. Based on many variables, economic, environmental, social, and composite sustainability indices were collected. From the correlation and correspondence analyses it was concluded that the farms reached the balance of all three dimensions simultaneously when the level of sustainability indices was medium, while a high level of sustainability in one dimension made it very difficult to reach a high level in the others. It was also emphasized that assessing farms’ sustainability with the use of a simple aggregation of variables may be not correct since sustainability goals may compete with each other.

Abstract Sustainability is currently a global issue, population growth and damage to natural resources, and environmental quality issues. This study will evaluate the sustainability of Belawan watershed management to develop sustainable watershed management planning. Watershed sustainability evaluation uses the MDS approach with rapfish (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries) program modification to 5 dimensions and 42 attributes. From the assessment, the sustainability status of the Belawan watershed for ecological, economic, social culture, institution and legal dimensions is less sustainable. In contrast,the level of technology dimension is not sustainable. With the scenario of moderate improvement obtained, the status of sustainability ecological dimension, economic dimension, social culture dimension, and institutions legal dimension are reasonably sustainable.In contrast,the technology dimension is less sustainable. For optimistic improvement scenarios, all dimensions are reasonably sustainable. Sustainable watershed management needs to be done in an integrated manner that covers all institutions and related stakeholders.

Abstract:
Sustainability is the use of existing resources without compromising them for future generations. Resources must be guaranteed in the environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Sustainable Software Engineering is an emerging research field aiming to minimize software development's negative impacts on society. Furthermore, software sustainability can be defined as a way of keeping something running at a certain level of quality in relation to these dimensions. From the social dimension perspective, it is necessary to confirm software's trade-offs, benefits, and impacts on society since it lacks empirical evidence of its achievements in software. In this research thesis, we will explore how the literature addresses the aspect of social sustainability during software development and understand how social sustainability approaches can be integrated into the context of agile software development. In the end, we expect to have a set of guidelines, activities, and practices that can be adopted by agile teams.

Abstract:
There is a synergistic potential between heritage and tourism which can offer a type of special interest tourism. However, despite the potential, it also brings out conflicts that result in negative socio-cultural impacts. Therefore, sustainability issues should be considered in developing heritage tourism. There are three dimensions incorporate in Sustainable Development, which are environment, economic, and social. As sustainable tourism was derived from sustainable development, thus the three dimensions of sustainable development are also applied in sustainable tourism development, especially in sustainable heritage tourism. Generally, the relationships between the three aspects of sustainable development are assumed to be compatible and mutually supportive. However, among the three dimensions of sustainable development, social sustainability is the least developed and often is proposed in relation to ecological or economic sustainability. There have been efforts to address and incorporate the social dimension of sustainability into standard setters, planners, and practitioners in many diverse areas such as forest certification, organic agriculture, conventional agriculture, urban and regional planning, corporate social and environmental management, reporting, and responsibility and fair-trade certification. However, there are still few studies of the social dimension in tourism development. To achieve sustainable tourism development, we cannot neglect the social dimension and only focuses on the economic and environmental dimensions. Social sustainability is not absolute or constant which has to be considered as a dynamic concept, which will change over time in a place. The purpose of this study exploring the key aspects of sustainable tourism development social dimension which is linked to theoretical and on how we should define and understand the fluid concept of the social dimension in tourism sustainability that can also be applied in heritage tourism. This research is using a systematic literature review to identify social dimension aspects or themes of sustainable development, sustainable tourism development, and sustainable heritage tourism. The preliminary findings show that there are few studies of the social dimension of sustainable tourism development. Therefore, it is rather difficult to obtain related articles of the social dimension, especially in the tourism subject fields. To this point, 160 works of literature were obtained and after screening, assessing, and selecting against the criteria for eligibility, there were 19 pieces of literature selected. Selected literature was reviewed to explore how the social dimension aspect in sustainable development debates is variously understood and how it constructs a social pillar. This research compiles a cross-disciplinary major theoretical concept from sustainable development, sustainable tourism development, heritage tourism, political sociology, economic theory, social theory, governance, and urban development to build a new multi-dimensional inquiry into the subject of social sustainability. Thus, this research gives a comprehension of the aspects of social sustainability which contributes to the improvement of the fluid concept of social tourism sustainability, especially in heritage tourism.

The aims of this study is to determine whether or not there is (1)Impact of the Sustainability Report (SR) and company’s size towards acceptance of opinions going concern, (2) The Sustainability Report (SR) is categorized into three different dimensional disclosures based on guidelines made by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) that is The G4 Guidelines, with the Division of Economic Dimension (X1), environmental Dimension (X2) and social Dimension (X3) and (4) size of the company in the company's total assets (X4). The Sustainability report (Sustainability Report) is becoming a highlight and the need for progressive companies to inform about their economic, social and environmental performance as well as to all stakeholders of the company. In this study, data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis and hypothesis testing using a logistic regression analysis method, sample determination in this study is using a purposive sampling method as much as 10 companies with a total of 30 samples from the year 2014 – 2016 used as research data. Results showed that a partial disclosure of economic dimensions, environmental dimensions and social dimensions in the Sustainability Report and the size of the company had no significant influence on the company's financial performance, so the results were rejected. In-depth discussions and data analysis using linear logistical regression, the conclusion that the disclosure of economic dimension variables, environmental dimensions, and social dimension and company size have no significant effect on Acceptance opinion going concern

Abstract:
Regional and urban sustainability no longer consider as an solely environmental or economic concern, but also incorporate social dimensions. However, the notions and indicators of social dimension of sustainability has not been very clearly defined. We linked social sustainability with the level of socio-economic well-being, equitable access to social service and quality of social capital. There are at least three types of municipalities in the Sverdlovsk region, based on the availability of certain social services and their dynamics. Analysis of strategic documents and policy actions of regional government demonstrate some positive shifts in social services availability, however regional differentiation on the demographic and economic indicators should also be taken in account. Gaps in the regional strategic planning system are identified and recommendations are formulated.

Abstract:
The study of the sustainability level of Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest, is intended to determine the status of sustainabilty, and lever attributes in the management of Bukit Betabuh protection Forest. This study was conducted with a multi-dimensional scaling analysis (MDS) approach with the help of Rapfish software. The research was conducted from August-september 2019 in the Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest area. Research objectives are analyzing the existing condition of Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest, Analying the sustainability status of Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest, Analyze levers that take effect Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest, and Designing the formulation of Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest.The research methods include : 1) Data collection methods (surveys, field measurements, sampling, intervies, and library research), 2) Data analysis methods (descriptive analysis of the ecological characteristics of protected forest, economic and social communities around the Bukit Betabuh Protection Forest, MDS analysis with Rapforest techniques to determine the level of sustainabillity in the management of the Bukit Batabuh Protection Forest). Based on the research that has been done, it turns out that the management of Bukit Batabuh Protection Forest shows that there is an imbalance in the dimensions (ecological, economic and social). The sustainability status of Bukit Batabuh Protection Forest is currently multidimensional, including the catagory of moderately sustainable with a sustainability index value of 55 %. Meanwhile, the result of the analysis of each dimension showed that the ecological dimension of the sustainability index was 63,4 % and the social dimension was 61,25 % which meant that it was quite coninous. Whle yhe economic dimension of sustainability index is 43,0 % which means it is not sustainable.

Abstract:
This thesis develops an alternative critique of social urban regeneration practice by using a political-governance approach to examine the impact of regeneration governance upon barriers and opportunities for social sustainability. The research responds to a call from scholars to refocus sustainability research on the institutional, political and governance space that fosters or marginalises its presence and form. This ethnographic case study involved a year-long cycle of participant observation within the extensive Hastings regeneration governance infrastructure, and interviews with key stakeholders in that regeneration community. An analysis using NVivo was undertaken of thirty-one interviews, fifty regeneration governance meetings and the documents from each meeting. From that data emerged a strong argument for the centrality of the specificity of place in the construction or obstruction of social sustainability. Of particular importance is the impact of the socio-political context and the institutional and cultural legacy of New Labour partnership-led regeneration. The alternative critique identified in the Hastings example, in part emerges from the agency of a large-scale, political, and active Voluntary Community Sector (VCS) that is integral to, and embedded into the local governance infrastructure. The alternative model of activism employed by the VCS core utilises governance norms and practices to navigate the complex regeneration policy and governance landscape to contribute to, and disturb dominant agendas. In this regeneration landscape a distinctive local socio-political context, an alternative model of activism, and a valued good governance partnership culture enable what other commentators have termed 'actually existing' social sustainability (AESS). The research findings advance an understanding of principal critiques of the New Labour regeneration project, including the notions of 'post-political regeneration tactics' and democratic deficit, through a critical analysis of their presence in terms of their obstruction of AESS. The alternative critique that emerges from this research explores a possible shift in the locus and production of power, and the redistribution of roles in UK regeneration practice that enables a stronger VCS position.

Abstract:
This study examines the triple bottom line of sustainability, in the context of both profit-oriented and non-profit oriented organizations. Sustainability is a compound result of interaction between economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Sustainability cannot be achieved without balance between all three dimensions, which has implications for measuring sustainability and prioritizing goals. This study demonstrates a method for measuring organizational sustainability achievement in these three dimensions of sustainability. Content analysis of the annual reports of corporations from the United States, Continental Europe (and Scandinavia), and Asia reveals that the economic dimension remains the preeminent aspect, and corporations still have a long way to go to reach comprehensive sustainability by maintaining a balance between the three dimensions of sustainability. The analysis also shows a high level of isomorphism in the sustainability practices of corporations, suggesting that even the most sustainable corporations are taking a somewhat passive role in prioritizing sustainability goals. A list of 25 terms for each dimension of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social) has been developed which can be used by corporations to develop and communicate their sustainability practices most effectively to the maximum number of their stakeholders. In contrast, botanical gardens demonstrate more balance among the three dimensions of sustainability.

Abstract:
This thesis clarifies the operational definition of liveability as it is used in discussions on the social dimensions of sustainability, as well as provides proof of its practicality as a tool for attaining social sustainability at the neighbourhood level. The definition of liveability is culled through a thorough examination of existing uses and implications of the term in academic and practical literature. Liveability is then defined as, “meeting people's needs according to the quality of environment they want”. Literature on liveability metrics also revealed how these fall short in capturing what neighbourhood residents value about their neighbourhoods. Thus, an alternative approach in the conception and analysis of neighbourhood liveability from a social practice perspective was realised, instead of an economic-technical practice perspective. The aim of this thesis is to find out how residents view their neighbourhood, and in the process, discover what would indicate neighbourhood liveability from their perspective. This study adopted a qualitative, grounded theory research design. Case studies of neighbourhoods from three countries were done to achieve a grounding of concepts about social structures, and to attain a holistic, interpretive approach to the problem of liveability. Six case studies were chosen to capture varied climatic and cultural contexts that may be influential in determining robust neighbourhood liveability criteria. Two neighbourhoods each were selected for the cities of Gold Coast, Australia -- a subtropical city with an emerging multi-cultural population; Wellington, New Zealand -- a temperate city with a multicultural population; and Quezon City, Philippines -- a tropical city with a relatively homogeneous population. The two neighbourhoods in each city were purposely an old neighbourhood and a new neighbourhood, to uncover differences and congruences in values of neighbourhood within the same city. A total of 129 respondents from these three neighbourhoods were interviewed to find out how they viewed their neighbourhood and what they valued in them. Each neighbourhood's physical layout, system of governance and social makeup was analysed in relation to the respondents' views about their neighbourhood. A total of 28 dimensions of neighbourhood, which were grouped into 4 themes – Personal, Physical, Social and Political – were uncovered in the analysis of residents’ responses. The respondents' descriptions of their neighbourhood show how neighbourhoods are perceived primarily in social terms, then in physical, personal, and political terms. The descriptions varied across the neighbourhoods, with some dimensions salient only to particular neighbourhoods. These variations demonstrated the contextual nature of neighbourhoods. Further analysis showed that, overall, the respondents had more to like about the physical aspects of neighbourhood than the non-physical (social and political) aspects. In contrast, the non-physical aspects were highlighted when the respondents talked about what they disliked about their neighbourhood. These observations suggested that there could be a different set of factors that lead to neighbourhood satisfaction, mainly physical, while certain non-physical factors lead to neighbourhood dissatisfaction, such as the perception of crime, and socially incompatible neighbours. These general similarities notwithstanding, the data underlined the varied levels of importance given to certain neighbourhood aspects across the study areas, which strengthened the claim that neighbourhoods should be viewed in their own unique contexts. The contextual evaluations demonstrated how neighbourhood liveability depends on intervening factors such as the residents’ values or lifestyles, and/or developments in or outside the neighbourhood itself, both of which are subject to change. This realization allows the conclusion that liveability may be conceived as a dynamic zone of fit between people’s residential aspirations and the actual environment they live in.

Abstract:
2019 was the year with the highest measured amount of GHG emissions in history, indicating that our existing way of living is unsustainable and demands substantial changes. New ways of governing environmental issues are therefore being called upon in which the local level has great potential to create change. Sustainability measures involving integrated social dimensions which questions the motive for performing or engaging in emission demanding activities are found leading to a more long-lasting change. In Sweden, the decentralized decision model makes municipalities have a large responsibility for creating change in crucial emission demanding areas. Recognizing these concerns, this study applies a multi-dimensional system perspective with a broad range of cultural, habitual and technological aspects by Jensen et al. (2019) on three front-running municipalities (Tyresö, Växjö and Lund) working to reduce emission levels. The study focuses on distinguishing between different drivers for change among sustainability measures regarding energy and mobility functions, with a specific focus on the account of incorporated social dimensions. The results indicate that there is a lack of integrated social dimensions among the selected municipalities, in which only 26% of the grand total of 220 analyzed measures involve integrated social elements which enables a system-wide change. Technical and individual behavioural changes are far more prioritized than changes which are linked to collective lifestyle aspects and involve a mixture of technology, norms, cultures and organizations within the society, which are aspects proven more likely to lead to a system-wide change. The study provides knowledge on the capability of local decision making to enforce a systemic change toward sustainability if the current measures are carried out, in which the results indicate that the change among the three selected municipalities will be limited.

Abstract:
In response to growing social inequality, environmental crises, and economic instability, sustainability discourse has become the dominant "master signifier" for many fields, particularly the field of urban planning. However, in practice many sustainability methods overemphasize technological and economic growth-oriented solutions while underemphasizing the social dimension. The social dimension of sustainability remains a "concept in chaos" drawing little agreement on definitions, domains, and indicators for addressing the social challenges of urban life. In contrast, while the field of public health, with its emphasis on social justice principles, has made significant strides in framing and developing interventions to target the social determinants of health (SDH), this work has yet to be integrated into sustainability practice as a tool for framing the social dimension. Meanwhile, as municipalities move forward with these lopsided efforts at approaching sustainability practice, cities continue to experience gentrification, increasing homelessness, health disparities, and many other concerns related to social inequity, environmental injustice, and marginalization. This research involves multi-site, comparative case studies of neighborhood-scale sustainability planning projects in Portland, U.S.; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Nagoya, Japan to bring to light an understanding of how the social dimension is conceptualized and translated to practice in different contexts, as well as the challenges planners, citizen participants, and other stakeholders encounter in attempting to do so. These case studies find that these neighborhood-scale planning efforts are essentially framing the social dimension in terms of principles of SDH. Significant challenges encountered at the neighborhood-scale relate to political economic context and trade-offs between ideals of social sustainability, such as social inclusion and nurturing a sense of belonging when confronted with diverse neighborhood actors, such as sexually oriented businesses and recent immigrants. This research contributes to urban social sustainability literature and sustainability planning practice by interrogating these contested notions and beginning to create a pathway for integration of SDH principles into conceptualizations of social sustainability.

Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ metod och undersöker hur nyinträdda på arbetsmarknaden upplever arbetsmotivation och vad som driver dem i yrkeslivet. Vidare syftar studien till att undersöka om det går att urskilja några nya aspekter som inte tidigare uppmärksammats bland befintliga motivationsteorier. Empirin utgörs av tolv semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer i arbete födda på 1990-talet, där varje intervju var cirka 45 minuter lång. Resultatet visar att det finns en medvetenhet och ett hållbarhetsperspektiv hos intervjupersonerna som väger tyngre än exempelvis lön och omgivning. Vi kan med hjälp av det empiriska materialet se tendenser som pekar på att intervjupersonerna drivs och motiveras av faktorer som ligger långt fram i tiden, och att de kan finna mening i arbetsuppgifter som kanske inte generar någon direkt belöning. Intervjupersonerna har en långsiktig och hållbar syn på sitt arbete och motiveras av framtiden, och i de fall där arbetet inte är stimulerande har synsättet blivit en form av överlevnadsstrategi. Denna dimension av långsiktighet presenteras inte i tidigare motivationsteorier och vi vill därför mena att vi bidragit med viktiga insikter att vidare studera.
The following report is a qualitative study, and examines how newcomers to the labor market experiencing motivation and what drives them in their professional life. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate whether if it’s possible to discern some new aspects that is not mentioned in existing motivation theories. The empirical data consists of twelve semi-structured interviews with persons born in the 1990s, where each interview was approximately 45 minutes long. The result shows that there is an awareness and a kind of sustainability in the interviewees answers, that outweighs economic factors and surroundings. We can with the help of the empirical material see a trend that suggest that interviewees are driven and motivated by factors which lies further in the future, and that they can find meaning in the tasks that might not generate any direct reward. The interviewees have a long-term and sustainable approach to their work and are motivated by the future, and this point of view has become a form of survival strategy whenever the work is not stimulating enough. This dimension of sustainability is not presented in the earlier theories of motivation and we would therefore like to suggest that we contributed with important insights to further study.

Abstract:
Som invånare i en alltmer global värld, är det kanske inte konstigt att man ibland känner sig liten. Städer växer och därmed kan känslan av att tillhöra ett grannskap lätt försvinna. En känsla av rastlöshet kan göra att det är svårt att hitta något att knyta an till. Man kan argumentera om människans natur, men att människor är sociala varelser som har ett behov av att interagera med varandra, kan nog de flesta av oss skriva under på. Publika platser bör därför fylla behovet av en plats där gemenskap kan växa, men trender inom stadsplanering verkar gå i motsatt riktning. Vi behöver platser, stigar och vägar som är ämnade för oss, där det finns utrymme för möten och samspel. Vi behöver en urban miljö som stöttar vårt vardagsliv och tillåter oss att bara vara. Cultural planning är ett tillvägagångssätt och koncept som har potentialen att sammanfoga glappet mellan stadsplanering och invånarnas behov. I vår studie identifierar och utforskar vi ett nätverk av personer och grupper som är involverade i cultural planning. I nätverket är terminologin omdiskuterad och anses problematisk, vilket ledde oss till våra frågor: Vad är cultural planning? Hur kan cultural planning som koncept bli mer etablerat? Hur kan nätverket inom cultural planning stärkas? Våra mål är att definiera konceptet genom att hitta dess karaktäristiska språk. Detta för att hitta ett gemensamt språkbruk som nätverket kan använda. Vi kallar detta för unboxing cultural planning. Huvudfokus i denna studie är konceptet cultural planning. Då konceptet är så pass omfattande och mångsidigt, kommer vi att undersöka det genom olika teoretiska perspektiv baserade på olika professioner, utifrån tre utgångspunkter; cultural planning som en term, som ett tillvägagångssätt och dess värdegrund. Genom att konstruera fallstudier och analysera dem genom fyra relevanta teorier, kommer vi göra ett förslag på hur konceptet och nätverket kan bli mer etablerat.
As citizens in an increasingly global and digitalized world, everyone feels small from time to time. Cities expand and at the same time the sense of belonging to a neighbourhood decrease. It is hard to find a way to root ourselves. While arguments occur over human nature, it is safe to assert that humans are social beings, and we have a need to interact with each other. Public spaces should fill the need of physical space were communities and neighbourhoods can meet, but trends in city planning move in different directions. We need places, paths and roads that are built for us, where there is room for interaction and encounters. We need an urban everyday life that allows us being human. Cultural planning is an approach and concept that has the potential to fill the void between city planning and citizens’ needs. When talking about tools in the field of cultural planning, we must ask what tools exist and how do we use them? In this thesis we identify and explore a network of people and groups involved with cultural planning, as well as the different tools associated with it. Within the network, the term cultural planning is discussed as problematic. This led us to our questions: How is cultural planning conceptualized? How can cultural planning become more established and recognized? And how can the cultural planning network be strengthened?Our goals are to unbox the concept of cultural planning by finding its language, and during our process help the network in their future work of communicating cultural planning. We call this unboxing cultural planning. The central focus of this study is the concept of cultural planning. Since the concept is complex and not yet established, we will examine cultural planning from three starting points. Using perspectives from different professions and practitioners, we explore cultural planning as a term, as an approach, and as a collection of core values. By constructing case studies and analysing them through four relevant terms, we suggest on how to widen the concept and network of cultural planning.

Abstract:
Syfte: Rapporteringspliktens effekt på kontroversiella företags utgivande av hållbarhetsinformation inom den hållbarhetsdimension de anses agera negativt inom är i stort sett outforskad. Syftet med studien har därför varit att undersöka om det finns något samband mellan obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering och mängden social hållbarhetsinformation som ges ut av socialt kontroversiella företag. Syftet har också varit att undersöka om det finns något samband mellan obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering och mängden miljömässig hållbarhetsinformation som ges ut av miljömässigt kontroversiella företag.  Metod: Studien antar en positivistisk forskningsfilosofi med en deduktiv ansats och longitudinell design med data som omfattar fem år för 23 stycken svenska kontroversiella företag. Studien har genomförts med en kvantitativ metod där primärdata samlats in genom en innehållsanalys. Studien är också baserad på sekundärdata som inhämtats från databasen Retriever. Insamlad data har sedan analyserats i statistikprogrammet SPSS genom deskriptiv statistik, korrelationstest och regressionsanalyser för att testa studiens hypoteser.  Resultat och slutsats: Studiens resultat påvisar inget signifikant samband mellan obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering och mängden social hållbarhetsinformation som ges ut av socialt kontroversiella företag. Studiens resultat påvisade däremot att det fanns ett signifikant positivt samband mellan obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering och mängden miljömässig hållbarhetsinformation som ges ut av miljömässigt kontroversiella företag. Teoretisk och praktiskt resultat: Studiens teoretiska resultat bygger vidare på forskningen om eventuella samband mellan obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering och mängden rapportering inom två olika hållbarhetsdimensioner (miljö och social) för två olika grupper av kontroversiella företag (miljö och social). Genom ytterligare empirisk forskning inom området utökas litteraturen då studien funnit resultat som både motsäger och bekräftar tidigare forskning. Studiens praktiska resultat ger även en indikation på hur effektiv regleringen av hållbarhetsrapportering är för socialt och miljömässigt kontroversiella företag.  Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Studiens population består av svenska kontroversiella företag som omfattas av obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering. Ett bredare perspektiv skulle därför kunna antas där andra länder eller branscher inkluderas för att se om resultatet som denna studie framställer även gäller dem. Studien identifierar också tydliga skillnader mellan socialt och miljömässigt kontroversiella företag, något som vidare forskning kan undersöka.
Aim: The effect that mandatory sustainability reporting have on disclosures regarding the negative sustainability area for companies operating in controversial industry sectors are widely unexplored. The pupose of this study has therefore been to investigate whether there is a relationship between mandatory sustainability reporting and the amount of social sustainability information disclosed by socially controversial companies. The purpose has also been to investigate whether there is a relationship between mandatory sustainability reporting and the amount of environmental sustainability information disclosed by environmentally controversial companies.  Method: The study adopts a positivist research philosophy with a deductive approach and longitudinal design with data covering five years for 23 Swedish controversial companies. The study is carried out with a quantitative method where primary data has been collected through a content analysis. The study is also based on secondary data obtained from the Retriever database. The data was then analyzed in the statistical program SPSS, which carried out descriptive statistics, correlationstest and regressionanalysis to test the hypotheses of the study.  Result and conclusion: The results of the study showed no significant relationship between mandatory sustainability reporting and the amount of social sustainability information disclosed by socially controversial companies. On the contrary, the results showed a significant positive relationship between mandatory sustainability reporting and the amount of environmental sustainability information disclosed by environmentally controversial companies.  Theoretical and practical result: The theoretical results of the study are further based on research regarding possible connections between mandatory sustainability reporting and the amount of reporting within two different sustainability dimensions (environmental and social) for two different group of controversial companies (environmental and social). Through further empirical research in this area, the litterature is expanded as the study has found results that both contradict and confirm previous research. The practical results of the study also give an indication of how effective the regulation of sustainability reporting is for socially and environmentally controversial companies. Suggestion for future research: The population included in this study consist of Swedish controversial companies that are covered by mandatory sustainability reporting. Further reasearch could therefore adopt a broader perspective where other countries or industries are included to see if the results obtained in this study also holds for these countries or industries. The study also identifies differences between socially and environmentally controversial companies. What these differences are due to and whether they have any statistical significance is something that further research can investigate since it was not the pupose of this study to further investigate this.

Abstract:
Sustainability, which is a multi-dimensional and popular concept today, has three dimensions that almost everyone agrees: environmental, economic and social dimensions. Due to the complex nature of the healthcare industry and the wide range of facilities, operations and activities of a typical healthcare provider, the overall social, economic and environmental impact created by the healthcare industry is enormous and closely related to the sustainable development. As in all other industries, it is also inevitable for the healthcare sector to take sustainability initiatives to the forefront. In this study, how sustainability and sustainable development can be adapted to the healthcare sector is described after definition of the concept is given. Some examples of sustainability understanding and initiatives that healthcare facilities may adopt are addressed and how quality dimensions can be used in this context is explained. And to this end, a research conducted in a hospital to contribute to improve healthcare infrastructure to create socially sustainable healthcare facilities is given as a case study at the end of this study. In the said case study, the researches suggest that evidence based design presents an adequate tool for analyzing existing and future design of healthcare facilities.

Abstract:
Planning sustainable communities is a complex process that addresses the key areas of equitable economic, environmental and social sustainability. Nowadays the sustainable communities became the core objective in the view of building new world facing the multi and various challenges. Socio-spatial dimension represents greenspace networks integration into new development. Protecting and enhancing the existing physical assets are the pillars to achieve this goal. Green infrastructure is a new concept of planning and design that consists primarily of a hybrid hydrological / drainage network, complementing and linking existing green areas with built-in infrastructure that provides ecological functions. Green infrastructure plans apply the basic principles of landscape ecology as well as appropriate solutions for roofing and shading in urban environments, specifically: a multi-scale approach with a clear attention to the pattern, social and spatial relationships, and emphasis on social and environmental interactions. This research focuses on the socio-spatial planning communities in the view point of sustainability, analyzing previous studies, models and applications that illustrate possible spatial configurations of the green infrastructure to support and strengthen social relations with the physical side of the built environment, especially in residential neighbourhoods. The study presents theoretical models to understanding the social sustainability and guidelines for sympathetic the green infrastructure and its impact on achieving socio-spatial sustainability, taking (Sulaimaniyah Heights Residential Complex) in Sulaimaniyah city as a case study of one of the housing complexes that is still under construction, following the analytical quantitative approach methodology. The results show the importance of green infrastructure (GI) to obtain social sustainability through the use of green infrastructure as a tool to achieve socio-spatial sustainability in housing projects in areas with moderate climatic conditions.

The economic and environmental dimensions have been widely studied, however, the social dimension, which is related to the workplace wellbeing of construction workers, has not been sufficiently addressed. Lean and Sustainable Construction philosophies have proven to be useful in reducing environmental, economic and social impacts of construction projects. For this reason, the objective of this study is to search within these philosophies, aspects and criteria aimed at increasing the wellbeing of construction worker.

Abstract:
"This case study is based on two accounting books that belonged to merchant Matteus Spielmann, which are preserved in the Tallinn City Archives and date from 1568-1570. Ever since Luca Pacioli’s famous 1494 textbook on accounting (the so-called Summa de arithmetica, geometry, proportioni et proportionalita), ethics has served as one of the foundations of accounting [1]. Business ethics and sustainability are related, in some ways characterizing corporate social responsibility. For example, Garriga and Melé claim that the theory of sustainable development belongs to the ethical theories of corporate social responsibility, concentrating on ethical values and responsibility [2]. The aim of this paper was to determine how Spielmann’s accounting books reflect ethics and sustainability. In order to assess sustainability, Talcott Parsons’s paradigm about the continuity of social systems was applied. According to Parsons [3], a harmony or balance must exist between the main functions of social systems: adaptation to the environment (A), goals attainment (G), social integration (I), and latent pattern maintenance or latency of values (L). In her doctoral thesis, Roostalu proved that Parsons’s AGIL paradigm describes a general system of sustainability and it is applicable when preparing four-dimensional sustainability models [4]. In this paper, a four-dimensional content model was also prepared, and qualitative content analysis was used. The results of the case study show that Spielmann’s accounting books are quite transparent and include several sustainability indicators. Moreover, it appears that the dimensions of the sustainability model are in harmony with each other, which indicates strong sustainability orientation in these accounting books dating from the Middle Ages."

Abstract:
Over the last few years, a wide range of building materials, systems, and technologies have been produced around the world, and concern about the field’s sustainability challenges has been mandatory. Green technology refers to a variety of new and resourceful advancements in creating environmentally-friendly transforms in daily life. It has been prepared as well as used in such a way that natural resources along with the surroundings are protected. It is intended to be an optional source of technology that lowers the need for fossil fuels and causes not as much of damage to human, animal, in addition to plant health, as well as to the environment. The use of green technology is intended to diminish waste and pollution. Environmental technologies as well as clean technology are other terms for it. There have been studies on innovation that assumes environmentally friendly properties of materials, systems, and technologies; nevertheless, nothing has been said about the social aspects of sustainability. It is important to remember that sustainability encompasses not just environmental, but in addition financial and societal dimensions, the latter of which has direct repercussions for society’s well-being. Because worldwide concerns of environmental deterioration have compelled our society to take action, efforts aimed at this goal should be based on historical and cultural values, as well as the interaction between humans and nature to rethink development and evolve the concept of long-term sustainability. New ecologically friendly technologies are, without a doubt, critical to achieving long-term development. The purpose of this research is to emphasize the societal characteristics or features that contribute to environmental conservation through green technologies. The study is based on reviewing of secondary data sources like journals, articles, newspapers, social media, books, etc.

Abstract:
In 1990s, the decrement of non-built-up areas due to urbanization directly cause a reduction in the quality of life of the people & the occurrence of social issues in Sri Lanka due to monotonous lifestyles. Therefore, to overcome these issues with a sustainable Sri Lankan vision by 2030 urban beautification projects like urban public spaces, parks concept was introduced to Sri Lanka especially in suburban areas. Recently, the urban recreational spaces concept came to urban fabric with common characteristics that were developed as social spaces for community gathering and interactions with a variety of physical activities. Although with the emerging public space concept, there is no such consideration on research regarding an evaluation on publicness of urban public spaces by using physical dimensions; Specific Reference to Galle Fort (sea bath area), Forest Park area, Mahamodara Marine walk and Ocean Pathway in Galle. Further, there is no proper regulatory framework in public space monitoring & evaluation to improve the infrastructure of public space. The research aim is to evaluate the level of publicness of urban public spaces based on physical dimensions which are owned by public administration in Sri Lanka. Also, it focused to identify what parameters, need to evaluate the level of publicness and understand satisfaction levels of urban public spaces and key indicators, to assess how contributing indicators, influence to achieve the effectiveness of public spaces among users and to provide recommendations based on the experts’ and users’ views for future improvements of urban public spaces to enhance the publicness level in Sri Lanka. This study was focused on four urban public spaces with the dissimilarity of the availability of design characteristics in Galle. The methodology of the research was comprised of onsite observations, questionnaire surveys, semi-structured interviews, and photographic documentation. The data were quantitatively analysed by using the VIKOR model which is a democratic model to evaluate the publicness level, AHP analysis, and descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS and EXCEL. Qualitative analysis was based on content analysis and photographic documentation. According to the findings of the research, it proved that based on key physical dimensions, criteria, and indicators publicness level, effectiveness, and truly public or not in four case studies. The highest publicness level and satisfaction level occurred in Forest Park which proved the hypothesis of the study. Additionally, by providing more shady areas, proper waste management, proper sitting opportunities, provide proper security system and monitoring system for control spaces, provide diverse activities for all age categories are some of the comments based on respondents which need to be considered in planning & designing urban spaces for increase attraction levels which are benefited for urban planners and designer.

Abstract:
Abstract Social impact analysis urgently needs attention in various sectors due to its critical roles in enhancing sustainability benefits. Properly assessing social impacts requires a consistent set of guidelines and requirements to reduce the practitioners’ bias. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a widely recognized method that can be utilized to quantitatively assess three dimensions of sustainable development in an integrated manner. This study proposes an open-source tool for social impact analysis, that particularly evaluates work environment health impacts, following the LCA-defined principles, framework, requirements, and guidelines for sustainability assessment. The proposed tool in this study can quantify the social impacts and determine the categories that are being affected either negatively or positively. In addition, this study provides an overview of the existing social impact assessment approaches, identifies the critical challenges of the current techniques, and highlights opportunities for continued research to achieve more effective solutions. As of yet, a reliable and open-source tool has not been achieved to help decision-makers in both academia and industry. Thus, we developed a web-based tool for assessing social impacts in eight domains by allowing the use of multiple metrics and comparing two processes.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus in a humanitarian context, with a specific focus on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). It highlights the complex and non-linear interactions that WASH has with other areas of the WEF nexus. In doing so, it blends the social dimensions (access, safety, consumption, and use) with the WEF resource dimensions (availability and resource sustainability), including a further emphasis on sanitation as a key, but often ignored, element of the WEF nexus. Drawing on the case of the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, we examine how household-level access to WASH shapes and is shaped by use, access, and availability of energy and food, and finally their effects on host–refugee interactions. We find that there are implicit and explicit links between WASH and WEF. Moreover, any small intervention in any of the WEF areas has positive knock-on effects on the other resources, especially in enhancing resource access and use. We conclude that bottom-up perspectives on these interlinkages with active participation from both host and refugee households are required to understand the implicit and explicit connections across WASH and the WEF nexus in humanitarian contexts. We also argue that sanitation is a key element of the WEF nexus and should not be ignored within the predominant resource-centric framing of the WEF.
