永續發展作為21世紀的主要關鍵詞與潮流,如何落實於全球、區域、國家與地方已經成為地球「生死存亡」的議題。其中永續評量系統的建構即為瞭解「為何而戰,為誰而戰」的具體措施。台灣作為地球村的一份子,又非聯合國的會員國,推動永續發展別具全球在地化(glocalized)的指標意義。本文由社會角度切入,以論述永續台灣評量系統建構的理念與實際。首先以「永續發展同心圓」來探討永續發展的社會基礎與內涵,以便連結環境與社會。接著以環境社會學的觀點來評析相關的理論與模型,以展開學術性對話。以此為基礎,論述適合「台灣脈絡」的評量系統社會架構與立基(rationale),包括作為PSR系統的社會壓力與四大範疇。隨後進入操作層次的論述,包括部會間的linkage、地方培力(empowerment)與短氣度指標的社會觀察。最後以「典範轉移」總結永續台灣評量系統的社會論述。
The concept of ”sustainable development” (SD) has been one of the major keywords of 21(superscript st) century Ho to link sustainable development with global, regional, national and local actions is a matter of life and death for the earth Among them, sustainable development indicator system plays a significant role in measuring ”sustainability”.

Based on that above mentioned, this paper aims at introducing STIS's social structure and rationale including PSR model and her four categories In addition, governmental linkage as well as local empowerment is observed in linking with STIS.
