“…The fact that CA puts the individual at the centre of moral (and social) evaluation is aligned with a general sustainability perspective (Seghezzo 2009). CA still leaves room for further developments 'without rendering it anthropocentric' (Mabsout 2015: 88) and making it possible to include co-benefits that involve non-humans (e.g.…”

“…The structure of nine descriptors of the WASSI follows a conceptual framework that postulates that sustainability can be understood by looking at its spatial, temporal, and personal aspects [11]. To maximize the consistency of the method, this structure has also been applied at the level of descriptors by defining three descriptors per aspect that respectively point to the spatial, temporal, and personal facets of each aspect.…”

“…However, the very concept of sustainability is complex and contested since it reflects, to a great extent, people's worldviews, social perspectives, and interests [8]. Therefore, the use of sustainability indicators requires a degree of consensus among policy makers, scholars, and other relevant local actors on the concepts and methods that will be used for the assessment [9][10][11].…”

A water and sanitation sustainability index (WASSI) was developed and estimated in four cities of the province of Salta, in northern Argentina. The index was built with nine descriptors and fifteen indicators that covered all essential aspects of the sustainability of local water and sanitation management systems. Only one of the cities studied obtained a sustainability value above the acceptability threshold adopted (50 of 100 points). Results indicate that the water company needs to address some environmental and social issues to enhance the sustainability of the systems studied. The WASSI was conceptually robust and operationally simple, and could be easily adapted to the case studies. The index can be followed and updated online on a web site specially developed for this project. This website could be useful to promote participatory processes, assist decision makers, and facilitate academic research. According to local stakeholders, a more open sustainability assessment based on sustainability indices and supported by virtual tools would be relevant and highly feasible. It would help decision makers improve the sustainability and transparency of water and sanitation management systems, and promote more sustainable water policies in the region and beyond.

“…For a sustainable structure, resources should be continuously evaluated, protected consciously and used without overloading the ecosystem or damaging the system (Karaman, 1996: 102). In other words, sustainability is generally seen as a guide for social and economic policymaking in equilibrium with ecological situations (Seghezzo, 2009).…”
