“…Despite the inconsistent and debated literature definitions of sustainable urban development [8][9][10][11], it has become a generally accepted goal for urban planning. The term "sustainable development" has become widely used to stress the need for simultaneous achievement of economic, social and environmental development goals.…”

Urban parks and green spaces support a wide array of species and play an important role in long-term sustainability. This study analyzed the needs and attitudes of citizens towards urban parks and green spaces in order to provide information for setting the future direction of urban sustainability to maximize quality of life. A questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the general characteristics of respondents and their awareness of parks and spaces. First, the results indicate that the main purpose of visiting parks was relaxation and walking. Second, the type of parks visited most frequently by the respondents was pocket parks around home. Third, the main reason for going to the frequently visited parks was "close to home". Fourth, the major reason for visiting parks infrequently was "improper park management". Fifth, the desired types of urban parks were relaxation parks close to natural rivers. Sixth, citizens wanted to participate in the expansion projects of parks and green spaces through non-profit civic organizations or volunteer activities. Further research with a comparative analysis among different cities will be necessary to generalize Korean attitudes to urban parks and green spaces for urban sustainability.

“…Although the need for social considerations in sustainable assessment is slowly growing, it is widely acknowledged that the three pillars of sustainability have received differing degrees of attention in sustainable product design tools (Colantonio, 2007;Drakakis-Smith, 1995;Hussain, Ahmad, & Case, 2015;Marghescu, 2005). One of the reasons for this is that economic and environmental aspects can be quantified more accurately and with a higher degree of objectivity.…”

Whilst the importance of considering the positive societal benefits of a product, in addition to other social, economic and environmental factors, has received wider recognition, its definition, concept, and integration into product design are not so well developed and studied. A literature review on sustainable design identified the potential of Social Life-Cycle Assessment as a tool to measure societal benefits of products; however further analysis of sustainable assessment methods highlighted the lack of a coherent definition and method for achieving this. This paper presents a framework for including societal benefits within a product portfolio management process and a prototype tool which aims to support the implementation of the framework within the toy industry, specifically on the societal benefit assessment of the products during the first stage. Finally a simulated case study of three toys is used to exemplify the intended application of this tool and to support the concluding discussions.

“…There is general agreement that the different dimensions of sustainable development have not been equally prioritized by policy makers within the sustainability discourse (Drakakis Smith, 1995). There is limited literature that focuses on social sustainability to the extent that a comprehensive study of this concept is still missing.…”

This paper aims to make a comparison between Greek and Bulgarian rural areas, in terms of social sustainability indicators. Social sustainability is related to social capital, social inclusion, social exclusion and social cohesion in rural economies, terms that can be measured by relevant social indicators. The paper focuses on the effects of farm household behaviour on social sustainability in regard to changes in employment, gender, migration and social capital. To this end two case study areas were selected; Macedonia and Thrace in Greece and South east Planning Region in Bulgaria.
