Abstract

ABSTRACT Sustainability assessments provide methodologies to assess the environmental, economic, and social impacts of products along their life cycle. The purpose of this research is to develop a social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) framework derived from a set of challenges identified in the S-LCA field. The S-LCA framework presented in this study is developed by i) performing a systematic mapping of the S-LCA field; ii) gathering of LCA and SIA expert feedback; iii) evaluation through a novice user study; iv) and a case study application. The systematic mapping procedure is explained in detail (Bonilla-Alicea and Fu 2019), while the expert feedback and novice user study are the focus of this article. The case study application of the framework is the subject of a separate publication. The expert feedback is used to verify the relevance of the challenges through electronic survey data. Based on the expert feedback, the number of challenges is reduced from twelve to ten, as two of the challenges are considered part of the study design rather than challenges to performing social assessments. The novice user study implemented a simplified version of the S-LCA framework, and users were able to identify potential social impacts of their capstone design.
挑战衍生的社会生命周期评估(S-LCA)框架的评估
可持续性评估提供了评估产品在其生命周期中对环境、经济和社会影响的方法。本研究的目的是开发一个社会生命周期评估(S-LCA)框架,该框架来源于S-LCA领域中确定的一系列挑战。本研究提出的S-LCA框架是通过i)对S-LCA领域进行系统映射而发展起来的;ii)收集LCA和SIA专家的反馈;Iii)通过新手用户研究进行评估;Iv)和案例研究应用。详细解释了系统的制图过程(Bonilla-Alicea and Fu 2019),而专家反馈和新手用户研究是本文的重点。该框架的案例研究应用是另一篇文章的主题。专家反馈用于通过电子调查数据验证挑战的相关性。根据专家的反馈,挑战的数量从12个减少到10个,因为其中两个挑战被认为是研究设计的一部分,而不是执行社会评估的挑战。新手用户研究实现了S-LCA框架的简化版本,用户能够识别其顶点设计的潜在社会影响。
