Challenges faced
Vinyes et al. ( 2013 )
LCSA comparison of three domestic collection systems for
used cooking oil (UCO) to determine which systems should
be promoted for the collection of UCO in cities in
Mediterranean countries
Quantitative indicators for SLCA
Relating social indicators/impacts to the functional unit
How to restrict social indicators proposed to a
manageable and comparable number
Weighting methods
Zamagni et al. ( 2013 )
From LCA to LCSA: concept, practice and future directions.
Introductory article to a special issue on LCSA
Limited number of LCSA applications, the majority of
which focus on the interface of environmental and
economic aspects; social aspects are less addressed
SLCA data and indicators
Weak understanding at the conceptual level of SLCA
and LCSA
What is the appropriate scale of LCSA: products,
enterprises, communities or nations?
Kucukvar and Tatari ( 2013 )
To quantify the overall environmental, economic and social
impacts of the US construction sectors using an economic
input–output-based sustainability assessment framework
Lack of comprehensive data sets for all three pillars
Uncertainty assessment
Onat et al. ( 2014 )
Integrating several social and economic indicators
demonstrating the usefulness of IO modelling for
quantifying sustainability impacts, providing an economywide analysis and a macro-level LCSA
Dynamic system approach
Kucukvar et al. ( 2014b )
To develop a triple bottom line sustainability assessment
model evaluating the environmental and socio-economic
impacts of pavements
Uncertainty assessment; weighting of different impacts
Kucukvar et al. ( 2014a )
Adding fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method to the
approach above
Uncertainty of LCA results including weighting of
sustainability indicators and limitation of the EIO
method should be included in decision-making
