Abstract Water is the essential resource of people for their livelihood and is the foundation for the economy to develop unceasingly. Based on the trend of economic growth, population growth, and the improvement of the quality of life, the demand for water is expected to continuously increase. When the demand for water resources is continuing to increase, burdens are added to the environment and ecology. The severe challenge for human beings is how to promote the sustainable development of economy, society, an ecological environment, and to achieve sustainable use of water resources. The Penghu Island has endured water scarcity for a long time. The government also takes great pains over the water resource problem. The purpose of this study is to establish indicators of a framework for the sustainable development of water resources in Penghu County. This can be used to construct a model of the system dynamics to conduct simulations of various scenarios. After that, we can understand the current situation and problems of the subject of water resources and sustainable development in Penghu County to provide suggestions for the government to make decisions. First, literature should be collected that relates to the indicators of a sustainable development system of water resources, adopting the D-S-R (Driving forces-State-Response¡^indicator framework proposed by the United Nations. We should draw up a water resource sustainable development indicators system which suits the characteristic of the native environment in Penghu County initially, estimating by using Delphi and AHP. Moreover, we will construct a model of the system dynamics and proceed to do the simulation of scenarios. There are 43 indicators in this study which built up the D-S-R water resources sustainable development indicator framework in Penghu County. They belong to 8 different assessment categories, which include watershed conservation and management, groundwater conservation and management, diverse use and development of water resources, allocation and management of water resources, drought and flood mitigation, promotion of water conservation measures, technology research and develop of water resources, personnel training and education about cherishing water resources. Among them, there are 14 driving force indicators, 14 state indicators, and 15 response indicators. According to the dynamic system model constructed in this research, the continuous increase of the population and number of tourists represent the social and economic development of the driving force aspect. When the groundwater is overdrawn, this causes the seawater to invade and it becomes salty. The State aspect is and the people's health and welfare. In the Response aspect, there are 4 strategies regarding the management scenarios, including the control of overdrawn groundwater, building a seawater desalination factory, rational water price adjustment, and the promotion of water conservation measures are drafted. According to the simulation and scenarios, some results were found, such as the rational water price adjustment and promotion of water conservation measures have a limited effect upon slowing down the groundwater overdraw because of the severe water resource shortage in Penghu County. The control of overdrawn groundwater can appropriately decelerate the groundwater being drawn excessively, but can't retard the rise in demand for water. Building a seawater desalination factory can satisfy the continuous rise in demand for water, and have the greatest effect on decelerating the aggravation of the water resource ecology and the quality of the water environment. The strategy of improving the shortage of water resources usually can be executed from two directions: water resources development and economization. This study found that the key points to overcome in order to achieve the sustainable development of water resources in Penghu County are mainly: the destruction of the ecological environment because of deep groundwater overdraw, and the negative influence of setting up a seawater desalination factory on marine ecology resources. The relation is very clear that deep groundwater overdraw causes seawater invasion and the result is salty water. But it's not clear whether the waste water produced from the seawater desalination factory will effect the rich marine resources of Penghu County. The residents, mainly fishermen, still have doubts about building a seawater desalination factory. There should be more thorough analysis and research.

Até meados dos anos 1960 referia-se apenas ao aumento da produção e em decorrência, aumento da riqueza material, como sinônimo de crescimento econômico. Neste contexto, os indicadores macroeconômicos elaborados para representar a realidade econômica, restringiam-se apenas a quantificar o volume de bens e serviços produzidos, o que era considerado suficiente naquele momento. Com a formulação do conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável, que passa a agregar além da dimensão econômica, as dimensões social e ambiental, a fragilidade desses métodos de mensuração tradicionais (PIB) passa a ser enfatizada. Inicia-se um processo de construção de novas metodologias de indicadores, na intenção de retratar o desenvolvimento sustentável, em nível nacional e internacional. Ainda incipientes estes indicadores, apresentam pontos positivos e limitações. Subsidiada por esse debate, em um contexto de Economia e Sustentabilidade, a presente dissertação se propôs a realizar um estudo sobre os indicadores de desenvolvimento sustentável, apresentando metodologias nacionais e internacionais, utilizando como método a revisão bibliográfica. Com este estudo constatou-se, que embora venham ocorrendo avanços na construção de novos indicadores tanto em nível internacional como no Brasil, a mensuração do desenvolvimento sustentável permanece como um grande desafio para as Ciências Econômicas bem como para os organismos internacionais e governos nacionais, uma vez que ainda não se construiu indicadores e métodos com aceitação/validade e capazes de funcionar como padrões de comparabilidade internacionais / Economic development has historically been a central issue in Economics. Until the mid-1960s it referred only to increases in production, as a synonymous of economic growth, and consequently, increases in material wealth. In this context, macroeconomic indicators drawn to represent the economic reality had strictly aimed at quantifying the volume of goods and services produced. With the formulation of the concept of sustainable development, which adds to the economic dimension ,the social and the environmental ones, the fragility of traditional measurement methods (GDP) has being stressed. That began a process towards the building up of new methodologies and indicators, intended to measure sustainable development, nationally and internationally. These indicators are up until now quite incipient, and present advantages and limitations. Drawing upon this debate, in a context of economics and sustainability, this dissertation aims to study the sustainable development indicators, presenting national and international methodologies, using the bibliographic review method. The main finding of the present work is that, despite there have been advancements in the building up indicators both internationally and in Brazil, the measurement of sustainable development remains a major challenge for Economics as well as international agencies and government s nationals because it is not built up yet indicators and methods internationally accepted/validated and able to be adopted as comparison standards

Banco do Nordeste do Brasil / Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar, comparativamente, a distribuiÃÃo hierÃrquica e espacial do Ãndice de PropensÃo ao Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel, dos estados da RegiÃo Nordeste do Brasil. Para tanto, empregamos os postulados teÃricos de Brito (2004) e Leal (2008) sobre qualidade de vida, contemplando um breve histÃrico sobre o seu surgimento e a difÃcil definiÃÃo do termo; os estudos de Van Bellen (2005), Moretto e Giacchini (2006), Veiga (2006), Malheiros et al (2008) e Oliveira (2009) sobre desenvolvimento sustentÃvel, seu surgimento, conceito e mensuraÃÃo. A fim de analisarmos o Ãndice de PropensÃo ao Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel, dos estados da RegiÃo Nordeste do Brasil, utilizamos as mesmas dimensÃes adotadas pelo IBGE para medirem este Ãndice, a saber, ambiental, social, econÃmica e institucional.A base de dados das variÃveis utilizadas foi IBGE, PNAD, MDS, BCB e MDIC. A escolha destas levou em conta 03(trÃs) critÃrios: fidedignidade dos dados, disponibilidade de dados em nÃvel de unidade federativa e coerÃncia com o tema. Foi realizado tambÃm o procedimento de padronizaÃÃo, tendo em vista os dados estarem em unidades distintas. Depois, os estados foram hierarquizados tanto em relaÃÃo ao IPDS, como em relaÃÃo aos Ãndices de cada dimensÃo. Desta forma, foi verificada a contribuiÃÃo de cada variÃvel para cada indicador, cada indicador para cada dimensÃo e de cada dimensÃo para o IPDS. Em seguida foram realizadas vÃrias interpretaÃÃes, inclusive identificando a(s) variÃvel(is) e indicador(es) que mais impactou(aram) no resultado. Nossa anÃlise permitiu-nos constatar que, dentre os estados da RegiÃo Nordeste, o estado de Sergipe apresentou maior propensÃo ao desenvolvimento sustentÃvel e o MaranhÃo foi o estado que apresentou menor propensÃo ao desenvolvimento sustentÃvel. Ficou evidenciado tambÃm que existe diferenÃa quanto aos intervalos de propensÃo ao desenvolvimento sustentÃvel entre os estados nordestinos. / This study aims to analyze comparatively the hierarchical and spatial distribution of the Propensity Score Sustainable Development, states in the Northeast of Brazil. To do so, we employ the theoretical postulates of Brito (2004) and Leal (2008) about quality of life, covering a brief history of its emergence and difficult definition of the term, the studies of Van Bellen (2005), Moretto and Giacchini (2006 ), Veiga (2006) Malheiros et al (2008) and Oliveira (2009) about sustainable development, its appearance, concept and measurement. In order to analyze the Propensity Index of Sustainable Development, of the states in the Northeast of Brazil, we used the same dimensions adopted by IBGE to measure this index, namely environmental, social, economic and institutional. The database of variables used was IBGE, PNAD, MDS, BCB and MDIC. The choice of these took into account 03 (three) criteria: data reliability, data availability and federative unit level consistent with the theme. The procedure was also performed to standardize in view of the data are in separate units. Then, the states were ranked in relation to both IPDS, as compared to the indices of each dimension. Thus, was verified, the contribution of each variable for each indicator, each indicator for each dimension and each dimension for IPDS. Then were realized several interpretations, including identifying (s) variable (s) and indicator (s) that most impacted (plow) in the result. Our analysis allowed us to observe that, among the states in the Northeast, the state of Sergipe showed greater propensity to sustainable development and MaranhÃo was the state that had lower propensity to sustainable development. It was also evident that there is difference in the propensity intervals sustainable development among the northeastern states. .

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A crescente escassez de recursos naturais e maior ocorrÃncia de desastres ambientais fomentaram o debate acerca da importÃncia de analisar previamente as consequÃncias da pressÃo antrÃpica exercida e, neste cenÃrio histÃrico ganhou forma e valia o conceito de desenvolvimento sustentÃvel, que provÃm da reavaliaÃÃo crÃtica da relaÃÃo existente entre a sociedade e seu meio natural e artificial. Mesmo sendo unÃnime o reconhecimento da importÃncia dos indicadores para mensurar o desenvolvimento sustentÃvel, à difÃcil acreditar que haverà alguma fÃrmula de ampla aceitaÃÃo, devido à existÃncia de sÃrias clivagens e bloqueios, tanto conceituais quanto operacionais. Dentre os programas governamentais que visam corrigir as distorÃÃes em todas as dimensÃes, foi elaborado no Cearà o Plano de Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel â PDS do governo estadual, que incorporou a noÃÃo sustentabilidade em seus planos de desenvolvimento a partir de 1995. Esse plano apresentou como objetivo a melhoria na qualidade de vida da populaÃÃo no espaÃo temporal de 25 anos e gerou expectativas de reduÃÃo das desigualdades sociais. Uma das metas presentes no PDS do governo cearense foi a implantaÃÃo do Complexo Industrial e PortuÃrio do PecÃm â CIPP, projeto estadual estruturante que tem como objetivo viabilizar a operaÃÃo de atividades portuÃrias e industriais integradas, imprescindÃveis ao desenvolvimento. Dado o exposto, surgiu o questionamento do modelo de desenvolvimento pretendido pelo Poder PÃblico, cujo discurso define como sustentÃvel, pois este estudo buscou avaliar de que forma o modelo de desenvolvimento proposto e financiado pelo governo no municÃpio de SÃo GonÃalo do Amarante estimula o desenvolvimento. Observou-se que a polÃtica de atraÃÃo de investimentos priorizou os setores industrial e de serviÃos, dentre outras iniciativas, que promoveram, tambÃm, sÃrios problemas sociais (Ãxodo rural, falta de moradia nas cidades, falta de saneamento bÃsico) e ambientais (desmatamento, perda da biodiversidade, comprometimento dos recursos hÃdricos) alÃm de intensificar ainda mais as desigualdades entre as regiÃes urbana e rural ao diminuir as perspectivas de emprego no campo. Sugere-se a adoÃÃo de medidas corretivas possÃveis, como o ordenamento da urbanizaÃÃo, capacitaÃÃo profissional de qualidade para populaÃÃo local, implantaÃÃo de medidas fomentadoras de prÃticas culturais e econÃmicas de carÃter dinÃmico, adoÃÃo de tecnologia limpa em todas as Ãreas de atuaÃÃo como engenharia, arquitetura, transporte, etc. / The growing shortage of natural resources and a greater occurrence of environmental disasters heat up the debate about the importance of previously analysing the consequences of the anthropic pressure made and critically reevaluate the relation between society and its natural and artificial environment in this historical setting, in which the concept of sustainable development takes shape and importance. Even though it is acknowledged the importance of indicators to measure the sustainable development, it is hard to believe that there will be some formula of wide acceptation due the existence of serious operational and conceptual rifts and blocks. Among the governmental programs that aim to correct distortions in all dimensions, it was elaborated, in CearÃ, the plan of sustainable development â PSD of the state government. This plan incorporated the notion of sustainability in its development plans since 1995 and presented as goal the improvement of the quality of life of the population in period of time of 25 years, raising expectations of reduction of social inequalities. One of the goals in the Cearense government PSD is the implementation of the PecÃm Industrial Port Complex â CIPP, a structutural state project that has the objective to make the operation of integrated industrial and portuary activities possible, paramount to the development. In the light of the above, the questioning to the developmental model proposed by the government came up, which discourse defines the model as sustainable. This is study aims to analyze how the developmental model proposed and financed by the government of the municipality of SÃo GonÃalo do Amarante encourages the so called sustainable development. It has been observed that the investment attraction policy has placed a high priority on the service and industrial sectors, among other initiatives, which also promoted serious social (rural exodus, homelessness, lack of basic sanitation.) and environmental (defloration, loss of biodiversity, damage to water resources) problems. In addition, it has intensified even more the inequalities between the urban and rural regions for having diminished the prospects for employment in the countryside. It is suggested the adoption of possible corrective measures, as the planning of urbanization, good professional training for the local population, implementation of measures that encourage cultural and economical practices with dynamic nature, adoption of clean technology in all areas of operation, such as engineering, architecture, transportation, etc.

The aim of the thesis was to analyse indicators and data sets used in the field of sustainable spatial plannig. On the base of the analyses there were spatial indicators of the sustainable development designed. The basic condition to design new indicators it was the accessibility to the elementary datas. The other condition was to design very simply methodology that could be use also for measuring in very small location. The thesis designed idnicators in three main areas of the spatial planning: • landuse, • accessibility of the services, • inner city/town/village traffic. One of the demands for the new indicators set was it´s efficiency for all kinds of the cities in the Czech Republic. This demand was fullfilled by the 3 level methodolgy – the main indicator was measurable for all kinds of settlemets – small villages, small and middle towns and also for cities. The basic methodology (for small villages) was very simple. Indicators were computed from very easy accesible data sets. And this methodology could also be used for larger settlements without any problems. The second level – for small and middle towns – sometimes needs special surveys or special hardware and software. The top of the pyramid is the methodology for cities. In this level there are used detailed analyses and computing methods. The thesis designes the methodology and also checks the practical application up.

The aim of the thesis is to find the answer, whether it is plausible to monitor social cohesion of the municipality and how to measure this cohesion, which is one of the essential pillars of sustainable development. In order to find out, analysis of approaches and measurements of the sustainable development social pillar in international and Czech environment was carried out. Social pillar was identified and described also at the local level. Within the framework of the sustainable development social pillar at the municipal level three main thematic blocks are proposed: • Social environment quality of the municipality • Social-demographic population structure of the municipality • Contentment and participation in the public affairs These themes should be monitored by the set of indicators proposed in this thesis. It aimed to cover all dimensions of social cohesion which are significant and well-founded in the context of the territorial planning process. These indicators can be followed in the direct relationship with the population size and regional importance of the observed territorial unit at the local level and they are not separated from the concept of indicators monitoring at other – territorially higher – levels. Outcomes, analysis and interpretation of attained values could become the basis for the “territorial sustainable development analysis” (part of territorial planning instruments according to contemporary legal regulations), representing social pillar. All phenomenon and processes must be evaluated in the context with other sustainable development pillars and afterwards they should become another suitable instrument for measurement of the fulfilling the territorial planning aims.

Este estudo trata do desenvolvimento e aplicação de um instrumento de gestão dos fatores indicadores de sustentabilidade de centros de telemedicina e telessaúde. Com base em referencial teórico da administração e na experiência profissional da pesquisadora foram elencadas inicialmente 36 perguntas, categorizadas em 7 áreas de domínio, para avaliação de concordância com 04 pessoas com experiência em telemedicina. As categorias de domínio foram: Institucional, Relacional, Funcional, Econômico-Financeira, Renovação, Técnica-Científica e Bem-Estar Social, que compuseram o roteiro semiestruturado para entrevistas qualitativas individuais de avaliação de desempenho com 10 centros de telemedicina e telessaúde brasileiros, originários das regiões sul, sudeste, norte, nordeste e centro-oeste. As entrevistas foram realizadas em dois momentos distintos, com um intervalo de tempo em torno de 12 meses. Em ambos os momentos foi aplicado o mesmo roteiro aos mesmos entrevistados com o ano de 2007 como períodos de referência de avaliação. As respostas das perguntas de cada centro foram convertidas em valores numéricos. Depois foram apresentados graficamente em forma de um polígono, que tinham morfologia e área própria. Não foi possível comparar os polígonos de um centro com outro. Foi feita a avaliação das diferenças das pontuações das categorias de perguntas entre as 2 entrevistas. Verificou-se que as pontuações nas avaliações feitas na 2ª entrevista foram menores que as da primeira. A esta diferença, foi denominada de fator de ajuste, e foi associado como decorrente da experiência e maturidade adquiridas pelos entrevistados ao longo do tempo. O instrumento foi aplicado para avaliar retrospectivamente a evolução de um centro ao longo de 10 anos de atividades, em cortes bianuais de 1998 a 2008. Essa aplicação do instrumento gerou morfologias e áreas de ocupação do polígono com coerência evolutiva dos traçados. Para completar o monitoramento deste centro foram levantados os acontecimentos relevantes de cada período, o que mostrou a existência de sincronia dos fatos com os indicadores numéricos. Esse procedimento possibilitou verificar que o instrumento desenvolvido foi útil quando aplicado numa mesma instituição ao longo de um período de tempo. O trabalho mostrou que foi possível criar um instrumento que representasse graficamente as 7 categorias de sustentabilidade, e que quando utilizado numa mesma instituição ao longo do tempo, permitiu acompanhar o processo de gestão, principalmente quando complementados com fatos relevantes. Quando utilizado para avaliar o momento atual, foi mostrado a necessidade de uma contra-checagem num período posterior, para evitar falhas de avaliação (fator de ajuste). Quando aplicado com sistemática para levantamento e identificação das características específicas do CTMS, este instrumento pode ser utilizado para fins de desenvolvimento organizacional dos CTMS. / This study is about the development and application of an instrument for the management of indicative factors of the sustainability of the telemedicine and telehealth centers (TMHC). Based on different theoretical sources of data and the professional experience of the researcher, some questions regarding the determinant factors of sustainability of TMHC were elaborated, categorized into 7 groups and submitted to four other telemedicine experts for evaluation. The seven categories were: Institutional, Relational, Functional, Financial, Renovation, Tech-Scientific and Social Welfare, all part of the semi-structured question script to be used as an instrument to carry out individual interviews with the coordinators of ten Brazilian telemedicine and telehealth centers. The interviews were done in two distinct moments at interval of 12 months. The interviews were conducted to the same group of ten people individually to evaluate the year 2007 as reference. The answers were converted into numbers and from numbers in graph form of a polygon. Each TMHC had its own graphic. It was not possible to make any comparison between the TMHC graphics because of the differences of economics, culture and services provided by the different TMHC. In order to analyze the collected data in a different perspective, it was made a comparison of the data collected in the first interview (group a) with the data collected in the second interview (group b). It was verified that the scores of the second evaluation were lower, considered to be under an adjustment factor. This adjustment was associated to the larger experience and maturity the coordinators achieved as time passed by. The instrument was also applied to a 10-year TMHC. Its coordinator answered the same questions taking 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 as the years of evaluation. All the answers were converted into numbers and from numbers to graphics. The 10-year morphologies and relative graphic areas were compared, and . an evolutionary tendency was noticed. To complete the monitoring of this TMHC, the relevant facts over the period of evaluation were registered, which demonstrated a synchronicity with the found sustainability indicators. The study showed that it was possible to develop an instrument that depicted in graph form, the seven categories of sustainability of a TMHC and it was useful to monitor the management process, especially when used in the same institution for a long period of time, and complemented with relevant facts to support the numerical indicators. When used to evaluate the present moment, it was clear that a second evaluation in a later period is necessary, in order to avoid misinterpretation (adjustment factor). When systematically applied, it can also be of utility to identify the specific characteristics of the TMHC in order to support its organizational development.

Esse procedimento possibilitou verificar que o instrumento desenvolvido foi útil quando aplicado numa mesma instituição ao longo de um período de tempo. O trabalho mostrou que foi possível criar um instrumento que representasse graficamente as 7 categorias de sustentabilidade, e que quando utilizado numa mesma instituição ao longo do tempo, permitiu acompanhar o processo de gestão, principalmente quando complementados com fatos relevantes. Quando utilizado para avaliar o momento atual, foi mostrado a necessidade de uma contra-checagem num período posterior, para evitar falhas de avaliação (fator de ajuste). Quando aplicado com sistemática para levantamento e identificação das características específicas do CTMS, este instrumento pode ser utilizado para fins de desenvolvimento organizacional dos CTMS. / This study is about the development and application of an instrument for the management of indicative factors of the sustainability of the telemedicine and telehealth centers (TMHC). Based on different theoretical sources of data and the professional experience of the researcher, some questions regarding the determinant factors of sustainability of TMHC were elaborated, categorized into 7 groups and submitted to four other telemedicine experts for evaluation. The seven categories were: Institutional, Relational, Functional, Financial, Renovation, Tech-Scientific and Social Welfare, all part of the semi-structured question script to be used as an instrument to carry out individual interviews with the coordinators of ten Brazilian telemedicine and telehealth centers. The interviews were done in two distinct moments at interval of 12 months. The interviews were conducted to the same group of ten people individually to evaluate the year 2007 as reference. The answers were converted into numbers and from numbers in graph form of a polygon. Each TMHC had its own graphic. It was not possible to make any comparison between the TMHC graphics because of the differences of economics, culture and services provided by the different TMHC. In order to analyze the collected data in a different perspective, it was made a comparison of the data collected in the first interview (group a) with the data collected in the second interview (group b). It was verified that the scores of the second evaluation were lower, considered to be under an adjustment factor. This adjustment was associated to the larger experience and maturity the coordinators achieved as time passed by. The instrument was also applied to a 10-year TMHC. Its coordinator answered the same questions taking 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 as the years of evaluation. All the answers were converted into numbers and from numbers to graphics. The 10-year morphologies and relative graphic areas were compared, and . an evolutionary tendency was noticed. To complete the monitoring of this TMHC, the relevant facts over the period of evaluation were registered, which demonstrated a synchronicity with the found sustainability indicators. The study showed that it was possible to develop an instrument that depicted in graph form, the seven categories of sustainability of a TMHC and it was useful to monitor the management process, especially when used in the same institution for a long period of time, and complemented with relevant facts to support the numerical indicators. When used to evaluate the present moment, it was clear that a second evaluation in a later period is necessary, in order to avoid misinterpretation (adjustment factor). When systematically applied, it can also be of utility to identify the specific characteristics of the TMHC in order to support its organizational development.
