一句话:通过叙述性综述厘清社会可持续性定义,提出综合定义并给出在软件工程中度量与整合的研究路线图。
软件开发生中的社会可持续性旨在促进人类福祉、公平等亲社会价值,但概念与方法论基础薄弱,常被速度与利润目标边缘化。本文对现有社会可持续性定义进行叙述性综述,识别社会公平、福祉与社区凝聚力等关键方面,并概念性分析度量与实践中整合的挑战。在此基础上,作者提出一个综合的社会可持续性定义,并勾勒研究路线图,以指导在软件工程过程中度量与整合社会可持续性。该工作属于概念性与路线图研究,未报告实证评估。
Social sustainability in software development means creating and maintaining systems that promote pro-social values (e.g., human well-being, equity), both now and in the future. However, social sustainability lacks clear conceptual and methodological foundations, and often takes a back seat to speed and profit. This paper therefore reports a narrative review of existing definitions of social sustainability in software development and identifies key aspects of social sustainability including social equity, well-being, and community cohesion. Challenges around measuring and integrating social sustainability into practice are conceptually analyzed. The paper then proposes a comprehensive definition of social sustainability and outlines a roadmap for measuring and integrating social sustainability into software engineering processes.
