Despite recent advances in social sustainability discourse, there is a dearth of working and evaluation frameworks regarding measuring social sustainability of for research, practice, and policy purposes. Building on the qualitative metaanalysis relevant resources, this paper proposes the triad of social sustainability consisting three pillars of neighbourhood, neighbouring, and neighbours, as a conceptual framework understanding and measuring social sustainability of neighbourhoods. It introduces relevant for each pillar, suggests advanced techniques for measuring them, and incorporates into an integrated framework. At the end, significant research and policy implications of proposed framework are discussed.
