本研究は、デジタル基盤（DI）を持続可能性を事後評価するのではなく、設計段階で組み込む社会技術的設計空間と捉え、ESG報告に代わる統治概念を提案する。PRISMAに基づく系統的レビューと現実的統合を用い、DIの5層にわたるメカニズム別設計パターンを分類し、検証層、サービス層、オーケストレーション層、CI/CDパイプラインにおける設計準拠の条件を明らかにした。持続可能性をサイバネティックな制御特性とし、設計準拠を検証可能な統治として提示する点が貢献である。
English
This study conceptualizes digital infrastructure (DI) as a socio-technical design space where sustainability is embedded by design rather than assessed post hoc via ESG reporting. Using PRISMA-based systematic review and realist synthesis, it classifies mechanism-by-design patterns across five DI layers, identifying conditions for design-compliance in verification, service, orchestration, and CI/CD pipeline layers. It advances digital transformation and sustainability by framing sustainability as a cybernetic control property and design-compliance as verifiable governance at the infrastructure level.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study conceptualizes digital infrastructure (DI) as a socio-technical design space in which sustainability is governed by infrastructure rather than being assessed post hoc through environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting. In addition, sustainability is treated as a property of design-compliance that can be embedded, enforced and verified in DI. A multi-stage systematic review and realist synthesis are conducted on peer-reviewed publications since 2016. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) technique, the survey focuses on the literatures with one sustainability mechanism and controllable and verifiable assurance artifacts in DI. Reflexive thematic analysis is combined with realist context–mechanism–outcome (CMO) analysis to integrate mechanism-by-design patterns in five non-overlapping layers of DI. Mechanism-by-design configurations are classified into four layers, i.e. (1) observability and assurance as the verification layer, (2) carbon- and energy-based objectives embedded in site reliability engineering (SRE) at service layer, (3) energy-aware workload placement and autoscaling at the orchestration layer and (4) policy-as-code gates in CI/CD pipelines. Design-compliance is fully satisfied when comparators, assurance artifacts and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) co-locate at the same locus of DI. The effectiveness of DI depends on regulatory maturity, telemetry granularity, deployment topology and governance routines. The study advances the study in digital transformation and sustainability in the sense that (1) the sustainability is conceptualized as a cybernetic control property in DI and (2) design-compliance outcomes are introduced as verifiable governance at the infrastructure level.
