&description=Sustainable Development (SD) is one of the recent accentuated areas. Moreover, Sustainable Development has supplementary influence on society rather than ecological themes, which can entirely modify the vision of the earth. Although sustainability has never been accurately calculated, Composite Appraising Supportive Progress (CASP) is an innovative index to assess Combined Sustainable Development Index (CSDI). Development and biodiversity are very incorporated whereas SD achievements can be improved through assessments of biodiversity. Biodiversity concept is applied to CASP carrying 3 D - Dimensions: Genes - Society, Species - Economy and Environment - Nature. The current paper will emphasize on society magnitude from 3D of Armenian Composite Appraising Supportive Progress (ACASP). 6 categories of society magnitude for Armenian Society of CASP as per existing Armenian Statistic Data are as: Humans - Demography; Society Concerns - Employment; Knowledge in Practice - Education; Space Science - Science; Political Performances - Economic Activities; Transport - Transport and Communication. In addition, 6 aforementioned categories are applied as per spontaneous estimation of biodiversity concept in CASP of Armenia. Composite Progressive Indicators (CPI) are approximated with the procedures using appearance of Armenian statistic data with previously defined Greek CASP. An approximation of composite indicators leads to develop Armenian CASP. Particularly, evaluation of composite indicators in society magnitude is performed to propose the new model of CASP in Armenia.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/927.jpg)
