Analysis of Social Sustainability Models: Toward More Sustainable Indonesian Cities

Social sustainability is one of the key components of sustainable development apart from environment and economy. In Indonesia, the assessment towards building and neighborhood sustainability has been formulated in the Greenship Rating in the year of 2015. However, as also occurred in many parts of the world, the social component in Indonesia seems to receive the least attention (13%) amongst other components, such as environment and economy. As a country with strong social capital, Indonesia has every potential to implement the sustainable development socially within the macro to the micro level of development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the social sustainability model which has been developed in many parts of the world through content analysis of relevant literature and recent journal publication. This paper helps to extend our knowledge on the social sustainability models adopted in the other parts of the world and seeks the possibility of implementing those criteria in the context of Indonesia.
