  Social Sustainability There are a number of definitions of social sustainability. In general, all these definitions discuss social dimensions of sustainability. Social goals are significant to evolve sustainability strategies for a better future. In the article “what is social sustainability? A clarification of concepts” written by  Suzanne Vallance , Harvey C. Perkins and Jennifer E. Dixon (2011 ) discuss about three components of social sustainability a. Development sustainability b. Bridge sustainability c. Maintenance sustainability. “ ‘Development’ social sustainability, is concerned with meeting basic needs, inter- and intra-generational equity, and so on. ‘Bridge sustainability’ focuses on changing behaviour so as to achieve bio-physical environmental goals. ‘Maintenance sustainability’ refers to social acceptance or what can be sustained in social terms. ”Maria Adebowale, in her article    “Towards a socially inclusive sustainable development research agenda “  2002 said “Sus

  T hree pillars of Sustainability: Social, Environmental and Economic  In the literature relating to sustainability mainly three pillars of sustainability are identified. They are social, environmental and economic.  To put it differently, people represent the social pillar of sustainability, the planet represents the environmental pillar of sustainability and profit represents the economic pillar of sustainability.

In the Venn diagram the three circles intersect each other at some points. The intersecting portion is depicted as sustainability.  In the Venn diagram independent the circles are  there and the intersections indicate

  Understanding the Concept of Sustainability   Nowadays the term sustainability is very popular in various disciplines and it has been used in various contexts with different connotations. Due to overuse of the term  it has become a cliché .  It leads to confusion about what sustainability is? Or what it stands for? Michael D. Lemonick,  a former chief opinion editor at  Scientific American and a former senior science writer at  Time in a write-up  published in Scientific American talks about  top 10 myths about sustainability.  According to him the following are myths about sustainability 1: Nobody knows what sustainability really means. 2: Sustainability is all about the environment. 3: “Sustainable” is a synonym for “green.”4: It’s all about recycling. 5: Sustainability is too expensive. 6: Sustainability means lowering our standard of living. 7: Consumer choices and grassroots activism, not government intervention, offer the fastest, most efficient routes to sustainability.
