التنمية المستدامة في المجتمعات

ISO 37101:2016 specifies requirements for a management system for sustainable development in communities. It is designed for use by cities, municipalities, regions, and community organizations committed to sustainable development.

ISO 37101 is primarily used by local government entities, city authorities, urban planners, and regional development bodies. It can also be applied by special economic zones, business districts, and large community development projects.

ISO 37101 directly supports Saudi Vision 2030's sustainability pillars, providing a rigorous international framework for communities and cities to manage their sustainable development strategies and demonstrate progress.

ISO 37101 is organized around six purposes: attractiveness, preservation and improvement of the environment, resilience, responsible resource use, social cohesion, and well-being of communities.

While primarily designed for community entities, large private organizations managing significant communities (such as NEOM or large industrial cities) can apply ISO 37101 principles to their community development responsibilities.
