Índice de desenvolvimento sustentável das cidades: diagnóstico acerca da realidade do estado da Bahia

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Index of Cities Brazil (SDIC-BR) is a tool that aims to stimulate the evolution of the 5570 Brazilian municipalities in the goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda. The objective of this research was to generate and analyze the IDSC-BR in the municipalities and mesoregions of the State of Bahia. Thus, it was proposed to evaluate the performance, verify and compare the relationships and interdependencies of socio-environmental, economic and institutional factors that influence the score, as well as indicate strategic areas for prioritization of public policies to improve the performance of the IDSC-BR in the municipalities and mesoregions of the State of Bahia. For this, the data were obtained through the IDSC-BR platform, and were manipulated with clippings for the state of Bahia that allowed them to be aggregated in a general way and by dimension to obtain the averages and other scores. It was possible to identify that there is a characteristic inversion between the scores found in the general, economic, and environmental dimensions in which the presence of large urban centers is noted, compared to the institutional and social dimensions, in which small municipalities gained prominence, which reflected in the ranking among the municipalities and mesoregions of the state. It was also perceived a growth and development of the state in Bahia and its improvement towards sustainable development, although it is also evident that the responsibility and proportion of this challenge.
