Aplicação de indicadores de sustentabilidade da rede INSTO/UN Tourism em municípios brasileiros: proposta baseada na utilização de dados abertos

Abstract

Adopting sustainability as a fundamental premise for the development of the sector, the Brazilian government classifies over 2.000 municipalities with some level of tourist interest. Despite this, to date there is no effective mechanism in the country for monitoring the sustainability of tourism management in all these municipalities. Considering this situation, the research sought to assess the possibility of using open data to build sustainability management indicators for municipalities, with reference to the monitoring focuses proposed by the UN Tourism International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO). It therefore analyzed indicators used internationally and explored open databases in an attempt to identify equivalents or inputs for the construction of indicators applicable to the national reality. To this end, it carried out documentary research, with the support of a multidisciplinary panel of experts to identify sources and validate the proposed indicators. As a result, it was able to propose a set of indicators, which would enable the monitoring of 9 of the 11 focuses, and a total of 46 indicators out of the 186 indicators proposed by the INSTO Network.
