“…The problem for many of these criteria is that they are not suitable for mall scale urban spaces as Medved, and Xu et al, suggest [19] [34]. Other authors suggest to assess sustainability, according to the size of the geographic scenario [35], or to use the proper criteria sets according to the scale to balance the SOC and the ECO impact [36].…”

Recently, several urban sustainability assessment tools (USAT) have appeared to reduce the human impact provided by the built environment. Few of them focus on the assessment of urban spaces like squares, streets, and parks, etc., but they don’t operation and maintenance (OM) phase is not considered. It would be necessary to develop an in use holistic urban sustainable assessment tool (UHU2SAT) to specifically assess urban spaces under OM phase. This paper provides a qualitative research among 188 studies, with the aim to classify them according to the impacts they pursue: environmental (ENV), social (SOC) economic (ECO) and Others. Finally, the SOC criteria are reduced up to 21 and arranged into 4 different groups: Human comfort, Urban mobility, SOC Cohesion, and Health & safety. These SOC criteria have been discussed and revised according to the literature review to identify the most suitable indicators for the UHU2SAT. Finally, it can be concluded that this methodology could also be useful to obtain ENV and ECO criteria to provide a holistic assessment of the sustainability.

“…Several studies related to efforts to develop sustainability indicators were adopted based on regional (local) values through a combination of expert-led and citizen-led approaches (Turcu, 2013), based either on literature studies such as those conducted by Aulia (2016) and Xu et al (2018), or based on secondary data such as the study of Shiau et al (2015). Then they used the rough sets theory method and two-stage principal component analysis.…”

“…Then they used the rough sets theory method and two-stage principal component analysis. Following Turcu (2013), Aulia (2016), and Xu et al (2018), we use the SRA indicator formulation in this study from the literature. We use (Olsson et al, 2004) framework in determining the relevance indicator, which are: (1) relevant to decision-making, (2) clear in value, (3) adequate in scope, (4) feasible, parsimonious, and adequately communicated, (5) democratic/participatory, (6) integrated/ multidimensional, and distributional, (7) forward-looking, physical, and comparable.…”

In today's empirical studies on sustainability, researchers still rely on the concept of "triple bottom lines" (economic, social, and environmental), which are influential in covering development issues. However, this concept has limitations for specific cases, such as regional, local, and sectoral levels. One sector that should adopt sustainability principles is the residential area in the suburban area. The academic discourse on sustainable residential area (SRA) is still requiring extensive research, especially on generating reliable and valid indicators. In the policy arena, particularly in Indonesia, an accurate indicator of measuring SRA is not available. Thus, this study intends to develop and validate the SRA indicators. The "citizen-led" approach was used in this study to observe 332 households spread in the cities of South Tangerang, Tangerang, Depok, and Bekasi. These cities are spatially located in the hinterland of Greater Jakarta. Households are divided into residential and non-residential area households. By extending into a literature review, this study develops 51 SRA indicators grouped into economic, social, environmental, infrastructure, technology, and governance parameters. Moreover, using structural equation modelling with a confirmatory factor analysis approach, this study generates 36 valid and reliable SRA indicators. This study provides that the model could be considered a structure and system that enhances the SRA.

“…Sustainable urban development is a field has emerged to address such concerns [77]. International organizations, governmental bodies, and academic institutions have focused on different approaches to evaluating urban performance to recognize the problems and design policies and strategies [78]. Although the research on sustainable cities mainly provides solutions to address the environmental issues, there are research has focused on social sustainability paradigms as well [79].…”

During the past two decades of the e-commerce growth the concept of business model has become increasingly popular. More recently, the research on this realm has grown rapidly with a diverse research activity covering a wide range of application areas. Considering the sustainable development goals the innovative business models have brought a competitive advantage to improve the sustainability performance of organizations. The concept of the sustainable business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural or other contexts in a sustainable way. The process of sustainable business model construction forms an innovative part of business strategy. Different industries and businesses have utilized sustainable business models' concept to satisfy their economic, environmental and social goals simultaneously. However, the success, popularity, and the progress of sustainable business models in different application domains are not clear. To explore this issue, this research provides a comprehensive review of sustainable business models literature in various application areas. Notable sustainable business models are identified and further classified in fourteen unique categories, and in every category, the progress -either failure or success-has been reviewed and the research gaps are discussed. Taxonomy of the applications includes innovation, management and marketing, entrepreneurship, energy, fashion, healthcare, agri-food, supply chain management, circular economy, developing countries, engineering, construction and real estate, mobility and transportation, and hospitality. The key contribution of this study is to provide an insight into the state of the art of sustainable business models in various application areas and future research directions. This paper concludes that popularity and the success rate of sustainable business models in all application domains have been increased along with the increasing use of advanced technologies.
