Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the scientific study is to provide a comprehensive panorama for increasing equality to benefit everyone as a community from a sustainable development and for equal participation and without discrimination for a greater social inclusion. Equality and social inclusion are crucial indicators of sustainable development, as they reflect a society's ability to provide fair opportunities and resources to all individuals, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. Equality reduces poverty, prevents social conflicts, and promotes economic growth. Social inclusion removes barriers that prevent marginalized groups from participating fully in society, allowing for the full utilization of human potential. Both are embedded in the Sustainable Development such as Goal, Gender Equality, Reduced Inequalities, and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. Prioritizing equality and inclusion leads to lower poverty rates, better health outcomes, and higher education levels, ensuring economic growth doesn't leave anyone behind. In addition to improving outcomes, participation and knowledge in time and place can also increase economic justice, reduce local public risk, foster citizen cooperation and acceptance, and provide information for rational decision-making. Sustainable development is viable and promising. When combined with the voices, assets and skills unique to a community, sustainable development can prove to be a vital instrument in managing resource scarcity and equity concerns.
