摘要本文对社会可持续性的跨学科和脱节的文献进行了及时的回顾，并确定了一些现成的衡量标准，这一概念为美国城市。在对文献进行全面审查的基础上，确定了反映社会可持续性的四大方面：平等获得和机会、环境正义、社区和场所价值以及人类基本需求。将这四个维度分解为可衡量的指标，本研究为研究人员和美国城市开始评估和评估其管辖范围内的社会可持续性努力提供了一种方法。
ABSTRACT This article provides a timely review of the interdisciplinary and disjointed literature on social sustainability and identifies some readily available measures of this concept for American cities. Based upon a comprehensive review of the literature, four broad dimensions are identified as being reflective of social sustainability: equal access and opportunity, environmental justice, community and the value of place, and basic human needs. Breaking these four dimensions into measurable indicators, this research provides a method for researchers and for American cities to begin to evaluate and to assess social sustainability efforts within their jurisdictions.
