Abstract: Abstract In literature, scholarly works related to the social innovation approaches to achieve sustainability increased significantly in the past decades. The researchers have not only shown their interest in these topics, but also argued the necessity of conducting additional research in this field. The purpose of this study is to review the recent literature on social innovation approaches/research methods used by the scholars in past studies. In general terms, social innovation can be defined as innovative ideas for societal needs and also forming new social interactions or collaborations. In other words, social innovation approaches that produce more socially equitable and inclusive outcomes through collaborative networks create social value and contribute to community development and empowerment. This research work mainly focused on the various research approaches related to social innovation for sustainable living.
