| In recent decades, rapid urbanization and increasing demands for energy created serious challenges in energy supply and environmental conservation. Based on this fact that 71% to 86 % greenhouse gas emissions are from energy consumption in urban areas, the importance of using renewable energy sources becomes increasingly evident. In this regard, the main objective of this research is to identify social sustainability indicators and strategies for developing the use of renewable energy in cities based on identified indicators. This research attempts to respond to the raised questions by conducting a narrative review of existing studies based on the scoping review methodology. The findings of this study examine the challenges in using renewable energy resources and emphasize that to increase the use of renewable energy sources, special attention must be paid to various indicators that affect social sustainability in urban communities. The findings of this study demonstrate that social sustainability indicators play a key role in increasing the use of renewable energy in urban communities, and that attention to these indicators can contribute to the sustainable development of energy in cities. Consequently, recommendations to promote the use of renewable energy in urban communities with an emphasis on social sustainability indicators have been presented. | ||
