“…In the Brazilian context, the sustainability indicators theme has gained scientific attention. The literature presents studies on sustainability indicators for higher education (Silva & Almeida, 2019); sustainability indicators matrix in the municipalities of Belém and Ananindeua, Pará and study with emphasis on reverse logistics (Gonçalves, Tavares, Beltrão, Ferreira, & Filho, 2019); sustainability indicators in Santa Catarina municipalities (Réus & Andion, 2018); social sustainability index of Brazilian municipalities (Almeida, Curi, Vieira, & Medeiros, 2018); sustainability indicators in tourism (Sanchesa, Sauer, Binottoc, & Espejo, 2018); and sustainability indicators in business incubators (Fernandes, Mazzola, Esteves, & Oliveira Jr., 2016). Therefore, it is possible to observe in the national context that the theoretical framework does not bring many bibliographical references regarding the application and dissemination of knowledge focused to sustainable tools in the public management of small municipalities, which creates a space for research that can be developed in this context, with a view to the evolution of this concept in the Brazilian public authorities.…”

This study proposes a system of sustainability indicators to support the management of small municipalities. We rely on the Sustainable Cities Program indicators, but we argue that these measures must be appropriate for these types of municipalities to help them be more sustainable. Thus, we carried out a selection of indicators using a four-stage methodology. First, the Delphi technique was applied in two rounds of validation with specialists. Then, in the second phase, 64 indicators were evaluated by 19 mayors of cities in southern Brazil. The subset of sustainability indicators generated is called Sustainability Indicators for Small Municipalities. It has six guiding axes, namely: nature and social well-being, sustainable public management, historical and cultural management, sustainability education, new savings for sustainability, and urban planning and accessibility. Third, we use the fuzzy expert system to determine a decision tree and, consequently, create a general index for a pilot municipality. The generated index corresponds to 7.19, which demonstrates that the pilot municipality falls into an intermediate level of sustainability; this application in an example that the sample was the last (fourth) step. Therefore, this study generates insights to: (a) promote sustainability by contemplating its multidimensionality; (b) promotion of local development and quality of life for the population based on sustainability indicators; (c) development of a management method to measure sustainability performance, considering the specificities of small municipalities; and (d) sustainability parameters that are measured and allow the establishment of indicators to improve the performance of public management, aiming at local sustainable development.

“…"The 60s and 70s were marked by a growing awareness on the part of environmental activists and society in general regarding environmental issues, particularly pollution." (Madeira, 2008, p. 5, our translation) The degradation of natural resources, driven by rapid industrialization, population growth, and increased demand for goods and services, drove a change in habits, as concerns about sustainability significantly altered economic and production processes (Silva;Almeida, 2019).…”

In this paper, we propose using a sustainability measurement metric to evaluate a campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Mato Grosso (IFMT), aiming to strengthen practices and ensure greater transparency of related actions to the topic. Sustainability refers to the ability to create means to meet the basic needs of the present without affecting future generations, relating economic, social, cultural, and environmental actions to preserve natural resources. Therefore, actions need to be taken to make this happen today. However, today, sustainability is not yet a vanquished topic, but work like this can contribute to improving and measuring sustainability. To develop this Index, the dimensions characterizing sustainability and the relevant variables were identified, after which the Index was developed, and its validation was conducted through its application using structured interview techniques with on-site visits. Data were spreadsheeted and analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel software. As a result, the institution received a score of 48.15%, which indicates that sustainability actions are considered deficient. However, it is expected to provide the institution with data to support new strategic decisions regarding investments and resource allocations to strengthen the institution's performance in the field of sustainability.

Environmental Sustainability Index of Rural Properties in the Federal District, Brazil

The objective of this work was to build and apply environmental indicators to verify the environmental performance and diagnose the sustainability levels of the rural properties from Federal District, Brazil. Data analysis was performed based on the information required and declared to public administration. Exploratory sampling was applied, obtaining a sample population of 169 properties. It was decided to use the factor analysis methodology in order to verify the environmental performance and diagnose the sustainability levels of the rural properties. The results achieved allow us to state that most of the properties (91.49%) are in a state of severe unsustainability. The results also show that the remnants of native vegetation, when they exist, are not in sufficient proportion to the total size of the property according to what the legislation requires. The proposed model and the environmental indicators built from the environmental legislation proved to be an efficient, practical and low-cost tool for a satisfactory diagnosis about the measurement of the sustainability of Brazilian rural properties and in the identification of positive management situations in relation to the suitability for environmental laws.
