المجالات المشتركة بين التنمية المستدامة والاستدامة الاجتماعية

Abstract EN

Within previous period sustainability in broader sense has neglected the social sustainability as an influential element that can play a vital role in any society.

Over the past decades our world has focused only on economic and environmental sustainability because it leads to a sustainable development.

Although this approach has provided extensive material well-being for some parts of the world a large part of the world is still struggling to make a decent living.

Even in the world's richer regions.

the current financial crises raise questions about whether economic growth can automatically be considered an obvious commodity.

At the same time, as a result of population explosion and the accompanying increase in abundance.

including in some developing countries the environmental footprint is expected to rise significantly with resource constraints.

This calls for measures throughout the world to avoid these problems.

Some developing countries are investing in mastering industrial design competencies.

In addition they have the ability to develop natural and renewable resources.

These materials have the potential to contribute to the social sustainability of people living in these countries.

It has already provided livelihoods for millions of farmers.

Through appropriate policy of measures coupled with a "scientific design" approach industrial designers can contribute to the quality of life of millions of poor people by designing appropriate to the local context.

Social sustainability is an ongoing activity that aims to improve the quality of life of all segments of society not only now but also in the future.

The cooperative spirit and extensive care which can be done by individuals and institutions as well in such a society can help the state and the whole society to grow.

Social sustainability demands members of society as a whole to reach a stage where they accept differences and view them as the strengths and distinctions that drive growth and well-being for all and reach a better quality of life.

The research hypothesis indicates that social sustainability is the third pillar of the sustainability trilogy and should be taken into account in the development process.

In the applied part of the research.

a comparative study is conducted between two areas of Baghdad varying in the amount of monthly income to count the extent to which the social sustainability indicators can be applied to them.
