ABSTRACT
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) incorporates social aspects of sustainability into many portions of their Code of Ethics. The United Nations (UN) continued exploring the definition of social sustainability, reaffirming the need to eradicate poverty, change consumption and production patterns, and enforcing that people are at center of sustainable development. The goal of doughnut is to ensure a "safe and just space for humanity" that is inclusive of sustainable economic development. The heart of the Oxfam Doughnut focuses on societal issues and is directly related to concepts developed by the UN. The UN continued exploring the definition of social sustainability, reaffirming the need to eradicate poverty, change consumption and production patterns, and enforcing that people are at the center of sustainable development. When considering the existing civil engineering concepts, work done at the UN, the Oxfam Doughnut, the Human Development Index (HDI), and Social Impact Assessments (SIA), it is apparent that the concept of resiliency is becoming pronounced.
