Sustainability has become one of the most important issues to dominate all other agenda in modern society. Most agenda regarding sustainability tends to focus on ecological or environmental sustainability. However, careful review of people's collective responses reveals that social aspects are more critical in determining sustainability of a city. Ecological sustainability, which mainly focusing on energy issues, can not be achieved in a city where social integrity is poor. For people to live in a city, social issues in a community may dominate all other issues since a community's allurement mainly comes from sociological attractions, such as good neighborhood. Thus, social integrity can be as much important as ecological issues to determine sustainability at least in a city. This paper aims to discuss the factors which affect social sustainability. Borrowing principles from nature to evaluate sustainability, two groups of factors are discussed for social aspects of sustainabilty; one group is connectivity/territoriality, the other is diversity/social contacts. Once precedent theories are reviewed to frame the discussion, two communities are selected to test the frame for analysis. Findings from the study reveal that two groups of factors, connectivity/territoriality and diversity/social contacts, are distinguishedly appeared from both communities. |
