Introduction and Objective: In recent years, social sustainability has gained increasing importance as one of the fundamental dimensions of sustainable development in architecture and urban planning. Nevertheless, many existing approaches have primarily focused on physical and functional indicators, while comparatively limited attention has been given to the role of users lived experience in shaping the social quality of space. In this context, flânerie (urban wandering or exploratory strolling) as a perceptual–social experience possesses the capacity to foster human interactions, enhance the sense of belonging, and strengthen the quality of presence within the environment. Accordingly, the present study aims to explain how an approach to social sustainability can be developed based on flânerie in contemporary architectural spaces.
Method: In terms of objective, this study is applied-developmental, and in terms of nature, it adopts a qualitative research design employing an interpretive approach and a thematic analysis strategy grounded in Grounded Theory. Data were collected through the review of scientific literature and documentary sources, non-participant field observation, and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was conducted through three stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, and the relationships among the extracted themes were conceptualized within the framework of the study’s conceptual model.
Findings: The findings indicate that the realization of social sustainability based on flânerie follows a four-level process, including: flânerie stimuli (legibility, permeability, attractiveness, spatial diversity, and sensory quality), flânerie experience (observation, pause, exploratory movement, perception, and lived experience), social outcomes (social interaction, vitality, trust, belonging, and identity), and dimensions of social sustainability (social cohesion, quality of life, sociability, and the social persistence of space).
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that flânerie, as a mediating mechanism, facilitates the realization of social sustainability in contemporary architectural spaces by enhancing spatial experience, social interactions, and sense of belonging. Therefore, it can be considered an innovative approach in the design of human-centered architectural environments.
