Abstract

Appropriate use of natural resources services and its protection are required to achieve sustainable agriculture and rural development. Sustainability is a concept focusing on preservation of capitals (anthropogenic, natural, social and economic) to satisfy intergenerational requirements. Developing appropriate sustainability indices are required for goal setting, planning and assessing management practices. The impacts of projects can be assessed using appropriate sustainability indices. The gaps in this area caused formulation of many development plans without acceptable outcomes. The present research aims to introduce and validate Social sustainability assessment indices for Sahand summer rangelands. These indices can be used by practitioners and natural resource researchers to assess their Social sustainability. Eighty-seven Social sustainability indices were formulated and approved by experts. Descriptive analysis and Kruskal– Wallis tests were used to validate the collected data. The indices with the mode, median and mean greater than 3, standard error of less than 1 and CV less than 0. 3 were selected and approved by experts. Fifty out of 87 indices were extracted and presented in form of 13 components. These indices have the capability to be used for assessing and evaluating Social sustainability among ranchers in the study area.
