“…Operational studies evaluate and measure sustainability using indicators (Bell & Morse, 2005; Benitez‐Capistros et al, 2014; Van Zeijl‐Rozema et al, 2011). Most of the existing studies focus on the analysis of sustainability of economic activities such as agriculture or livestock at the local level (e.g., Gonzalez‐Redin et al, 2020; Ssebunya et al, 2019; Barron et al, 2021; Castañeda‐Ccori et al, 2020; Chbika & Aouane, 2021; Biret et al, 2019; Astier et al, 2012). Other studies focus on how endogenous drivers affect sustainability (e.g., Gonzalez‐Redin et al, 2020; Tian, 2011), and some others evaluate sustainability either in the social or natural system of an SES (e.g., Jabareen & Eizenberg, 2017; Olalla‐Tárraga, 2010; McKay, 2021) but do not consider an integrated approach.…”
