This paper reviews the literature on urban sustainability with the objective of drawing more attention to the social aspect of sustainability in urban planning. Given that social capital is a crucial component of moving towards more progressive smart cities and urban innovation, it is important to investigate the social dimension of sustainability and the opportunities that just cities can bring to improve the quality of life for urban dwellers. This paper is divided into three sections. The initial section provides an introduction to urban sustainability, discussing the historical roots of sustainability and sustainable development ideas, the three fundamental elements of sustainability, and the process of defining and measuring sustainability in an urban setting. Moving on to the second section, it delves into the body of work related to linking urban sustainability with urban strategies. The third section finally addresses the emergence of literature on just sustainability and just cities, which can give valuable insights to city policymakers who are trying to improve balanced sustainability.

이 연구의 목적은 사회적경제의 지속가능성에 영향을 미치는 경제지리적 결정 요인을 밝히는 것이다. 사회적경제의 지속가능성은 경영활동의 지속뿐만 아니라 당초 설립목적이었던 사회적 가치 추구의 지속을 의미한다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 지속가능성에 영향을 주는 요인으로 경제지리적 요인에 주목하고 이론적 고찰 및 사례 연구를 통해 측정 지표를 추출하였다. 그 결과 경제지리적 요인으로 4개 분야(지역네트워크, 중간조직, 지역공동체문화, 공공의 역할)에 20개 항목을 도출하였으며, 지속가능성 측정지표로 2개 분야(사회적 가치 추구의 지속, 경영활동의 지속)에 10개 항목을 도출하였다. 193개의 기업조사를 통한 다중회귀분석 결과, '지역네트워크 요인', '중간조직 요인', '공공의 역할 요인'이 사회적 가치 추구의 지속가능성과 경영활동의 지속가능성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 개별기업 지원에 집중된 정책에서 탈피해, 사회적경제의 경제지리적 생태계 조성을 위한 지원정책의 필요성을 시사한다.

경제, 사회, 생태의 조화를 추구하는 지속가능한 발전은 21세기에 마케팅의 중요한 도전과제 중의 하나라 할 수 있다. 사회 및 생태적 관점의 통합을 통해 마케팅은 범세계적으로 대두되는 환경과 개발을 위한 패러다임으로서 지속가능한 발전 의제에 크게 기여할 수 있으리라 기대한다. 본 논문은 국제기업환경 변화의 패러다임으로 등장한 지속가능한 발전의 의미와 마케팅 영역에 제시되는 과제로서 지속가능마케팅컨셉의 의사결정 지향적 접근을 시도한다. 본 논문에서는 지속가능마케팅의 의사결정 지향적 컨셉을 여섯단계로 체계화하며, 생태 및 사회적 문제들의 분석, 고객욕구의 분석, 규범적 지속가능마케팅, 전략적 지속가능마케팅, 운영적 지속가능마케팅 그리고 변환적 지속가능마케팅으로 구분하여 고찰한다.

Purpose: The importance of sustainability in the supply chain has steadily risen in recent decades as a result of the growing awareness on the social issues. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between social sustainability practices and performance outcomes, as well as explore the mediating role of supply chain integration on that relationship. Research design, data and methodology: PLS-SEM model is developed to identify the impacts of sustainability on performance outcomes and the mediating role of supply chain integration. We received 285 responses from medium and large companies located in Vietnam, and after filtering, 206 responses were used for further analysis. Results: Our findings showed that sustainability impacts significantly on integration and performance in the supply chain. Moreover, the result indicates that supplier integration and internal integration mediate the relationship between social sustainability practices and supply chain performance, while customer integration mediation role was not found significant at all. Conclusions: Our results prove that social sustainability practices can link all the stakeholders and enhance collaboration. To maintain sustainable development, firms should embrace values of sustainability to improve the well-being, working condition, and healthcare of their employees as well as the advancement of local society.

2007년 사회적기업육성법이 제정된 이후 사회적기업 육성이 본격화되고 있는 현시점에서 사회적 기업의 성공요인이 사회적기업의 성과와 지속가능성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 목적을 수행하기 위해 사회적기업의 성공요인을 독립변수로 하고, 성과를 매개변수로 하며, 지속가능성을 종속변수로 하는 연구모형을 설정하였다. 이를 통해 사회적기업의 성과와 지속가능성의 성공요인에 관해 검증하고자 가설을 세웠다. 연구 결과 경제적 성과는 전략, 경영역량, 사업 환경, 사회적기업가정신이 지속가능성에 미치는 영향에 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났으며, 사회적 성과는 전략, 경영역량, 사회적기업가정신이 지속가능성에 미치는 영향에 부분 매개 하는 것으로 나타났다. 사회적기업의 지속가능성을 위해서는 경제적 성과와 사회적 성과를 동시에 추구할 때 가능하다. 즉, 사회적기업이 지속가능하기 위해서는 전략, 경영역량, 사회적기업가정신이 핵심요인이라 할 수 있다.

Along with the uprising of sustainability issues in the field of business and management, firms increasingly strategize and mobilize resources towards sustainability related activities and processes much more than ever. Together with this phenomenon, the concept of corporate sustainability has been noticed much more by scholars and practitioners from diverse fields. However, differently with an expectation, it is undoubted that there is a small controversy when we treat the issues related to its definition, antecedents, consequences, processes and so on. Based on this kind of understanding, this study tries to suggest and advance a new approach to the corporate sustainability based on the premises of social capital theory for social relations, which explains the role of institutions, and norms that shape firms 'social interactions. Main argument is that firm's voluntary, progressive, and proactive activities for sustainability issues can be understood as the firm's social capital building processes. Though there are a little existing study dealing with this issue, this study has a difference with them by proposing social capital building issues based on firm's real activities. Finally, case analyses based on a new approach are suggested and the theoretical considerations with some limitations are explained.
