Abstract

Sustainability has its fundamental pillar in the search for a harmonious relationship between man and the environment. From this point of view, it is important to verify the interrelationship between environmental, social and economic aspects. Among the ways of measuring this relationship are, for example, sustainability indicators. One of the tools that stands out in this context is the Sustainability Barometer (SB), created by Robert Prescott-Allen. The aim of this article is to identify the stage of sustainability of the municipalities in the “Colher stage” (Aquidauana, Bodoquena, Bonito, Campo Grande, Corumbá, Costa Rica, Dourados and Jardim) based on an analysis carried out using the SB. To meet the proposed objective, a quantitative and qualitative approach was used, with descriptive and exploratory characteristics. The results showed that Campo Grande is the municipality that stands out, placing itself in the ‘adequate’ range (almost sustainable) of the SB, while Corumbá has a challenging situation, with low indicators.
