The development of the social dimension of sustainability is discussed in the terminological dualism, which is essential to the concept itself: Sustainable social development (SuSoDe), addressing the idea of a socially sustainable society, and social sustainable development (SoSuDe), regarding the imple-mentation of sustainability in the structure of society. Thereby, the precarious interdependency of both concepts becomes obvious, revealing the necessity of a multidimensional model of social justice as a normative foundation. This model is described in its functional idea as a merging point for the dualism of the development of the social dimension of sustainability and therefore as a framework for social sustainability theory.
