迄今,人们已经对关注社会发展的质量达成了共识,虽然在很多情况下没有使用“质量”这个概念,例如,中国对和谐社会的追求实际上就是要实现一个高质量的社会发展。对社会发展的研究者而言,发展出一个可以度量“社会的质量”的理论和测量是其研究的一个重要方向。在这样的背景下,“社会质量”(SQ)的概念应运而生。 So far, people have reached consensus on the quality of social development. Although the concept of “quality” is not used in many cases, for example, China’s pursuit of a harmonious society is actually to achieve a high-quality social development. For researchers of social development, it is an important direction for them to develop a theory and measurement that can measure the “quality of society.” In this context, the concept of “social quality” (SQ) came into being.
