| Abstract | ||||
| The paper deals with the analysis of the multiple concepts of social sustainability according to international assessment standards, and in a way that helps to develop a future mechanism for decision makers to activate the social dimension in built environment. The paper shows the lack of sufficient conception that clarifies the dimensions and indicators of social sustainability included in the global assessment standards. Therefore, the paper raises a main question about what are the indicators addressed by the global assessment standards in relation to social sustainability through the analysis of theoretical frameworks. The paper aims to formulate a framework for indicators of assessing social sustainability in urban communities in accordance with international assessment standards. The study found a proposed framework for assessing social sustainability, which includes seven main classifications: comfort for users, security and safety for the community, social identity, community needs, community participation, social interaction, and social justice. | ||||
