Social sustainability and architecture: a systematic literature review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52292/j.eca.2022.3063Keywords:
social sustainability, architecture, citizen participation, culture, accessibilityAbstract
The social dimension of architecture has not had great development, unlike the environmental and economic ones. For this reason, the objectives of this article are: (1) to analyze the evolution of publications on social sustainability in architecture, through a systematic review of the literature, and (2) to summarize the main contributions of the most outstanding works. From the bibliometric analysis it can be identified that it is a topic of current study, with 75 % of the works published in the last seven years. On the other hand, when carrying out the content analysis, three important edges or themes are detected when defining sustainable architecture in its social aspects: citizen participation, culture and accessibility. Also, different indicators and tools used from the administration that can contribute to its measurement and monitoring are identified.
