Ett (socialt) hållbart digitaliserat Sverige? : En jämförande studie om svenska kommuners sociala hållbarhetsarbete i en digital kontext
Sammanfattning: Social sustainability and digitalisation are two concepts that are gaining a large place in the public debate today, and are relevant in all sectors of society. For the public sector, the relevance can be traced to the global goals and the 2030 Agenda for sustainability, and Sweden's national ambitions to become the best in the world in taking advantage of digitalisation opportunities. The many possibilities of digitalisation are emphasized in many contexts in order to achieve the global goals, but digitalisation also entails challenges for many people who need to be considered and managed in order for development to take place in a socially sustainable way. The thesis aims to study social sustainability and digitalisation in an integrated way by examining how four Swedish municipalities with a social sustainability profile work with these issues, and how this is reflected in the digitalisation work. The study is based on interviews and document studies. Similarities and differences are explained from an organizational and governance perspective. The result shows that social sustainability is a difficult concept to define, and that it appears in many different forms, where there are difficulties in making all visible. However, the study has been able to show prominent aspects of social sustainability based on the literature, and how sustainability management can be conducted in a digital context. Further, it shows that the aspects of social sustainability that are emphasized in a digital context are largely related to the single efforts that are being made in each case and municipality. Similarities and differences in how the municipalities integrate social sustainability in the digitalisation work are explained on the basis of terms of organization, governance, sustainability management, branding and collaboration.
