PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY IN THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING OF THE ECOS DE PERNAMBUCO COMMITTEE

Abstract

Sustainability has principles that can be guiding for management, both in the public and private spheres. When implementing institutional planning, these principles help to achieve socio-environmental efficiency. The present paper analyzed the adherence of the socio-environmental strategic and tactical planning of the Ecos of Pernambuco Committee to the Principles of Sustainability defined by Rohde (1995), seeking to understand the degree of proximity and distance between them. Initially, a theoretical conceptual domain was established regarding planning, aiming to raise the degree of understanding about the questions related to the central theme of this research, by means of the secondary data survey. Subsequently, it was sought to understand if the themes and the axes of this planning had an integralist or fractional vision of the reality, identifying the points of interaction or distancing between them with the Principles of Sustainability, through quantitative analysis. The relationship present in socio-environmental strategic/tactical planning of the aforementioned committee between themes, guiding principles and the Principles, denotes the sustainability of the actions involved. The results indicate that, although there is an oscillation regarding the degree of proximity and distance between the elements, it is concluded that sustainability is present in the planning of the committee, demonstrating that the local government is in alignment with the demands of the new socio-environmental paradigm.
