ANALYZE AND PROPOSE IN THE MUNICIPAL PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF AN AMAZONIAN CITY THE APPLICATION OF THE INDICATORS WITH THE WATER THEME OF ABNT NBR ISO 37120:2021. CASE STUDY: BELÉM - PARÁ

Abstract

Through technical standards, it was possible to research and understand the application of specific indicators for "Sustainable Cities and Communities". This includes a set of eight ISO standards developed by the Technical Committee on Sustainable Development in Communities (ISO/TC 268), adopted in the context of ABNT/CEE-268. Within these standards is ABNT NBR ISO 37120:2021, which certified 93 indicators in 19 themes, among which is the "water" theme, with seven indicators researched and validated. By analyzing and proposing the application of the indicators to a city in the Amazon, directing to the city of Belém do Pará, it was possible to compare the results with another municipality and at the level of Brazil, and how the municipality of Belém has been offering the population urban services with quality of life through the theme "water", in accordance with the SDGs, specifically SDG 6, which deals with the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, also integrating SDG 11, which deals with Sustainable Cities and Communities. The results pointed out great challenges for the city of Belém, which are related to the improvement of its 7 indicators. More than 50% of the indicators of Belém do Pará were below the certified city, São José dos Campos and at the level of Brazil. By proposing a public management committed to the reality of each municipality, it is possible to identify and point out the failures of the services and propose improvements, with integration and partnership of the communities, showing the benefits and care that everyone should have with public services, with the objective of obtaining a quality of life and well-being for people at any age, thus ensuring sustainable development.
