Abstract
Resumo Sustentável, sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento sustentável são termos notáveis e oportunos em nível global. Entretanto pelo fato de serem desprovidos de conceitos axiomáticos geram críticas e dúvidas na práxis. Este estudo objetiva analisar os atributos de sustentável, sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento sustentável visando contribuir para o axioma de seus conceitos. Esta pesquisa tipifica-se em qualitativa, bibliográfica e interpretativa. As bases de periódicos consultados relacionam-se a Science Direct, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library e Google Scholar. Os principais resultados revelam que “sustentável” tem a incumbência pelas soluções à deterioração do sistema ambiental humano com auxílio da sustentabilidade e do desenvolvimento sustentável. A sustentabilidade mensura o nível da qualidade deste sistema com intuito de avaliar o seu grau de distância em relação ao sustentável. O desenvolvimento sustentável atua com estratégias para aproximar o nível de sustentabilidade ao sistema ambiental humano sustentável. Os atributos destes termos possuem significados distintos e relacionam-se a uma práxis específica, entretanto, convergem a um único objetivo. Sendo assim, um conceito axiomático destes termos auxilia na práxis para responsabilizar as áreas com funções distintas, mas com um único intento final, o de alcançar a ideia de sistema ambiental humano sustentável. Salienta-se que este estudo pode ser o início de discussões mais profundas sobre estes termos e auxiliar no entendimento de sua práxis.
Highlights
The terms sustainable, sustainability and sustainable development, greatly used in scientific literature, in private sectors and in public schools, has yet to reach a consensus in terms of concept
This study aims to analyze the characteristics of sustainable, sustainability and sustainable development seeking to contribute to their concepts’ axiom
It is noteworthy that sustainability gained space and visibility in virtue of the discussion on energy sources and natural resources, as in to say that they are associated to the relationship between humans and environment and, especially, to the deterioration problems to the relationship between global ecology and economic development
Summary
The terms sustainable, sustainability and sustainable development, greatly used in scientific literature, in private sectors and in public schools, has yet to reach a consensus in terms of concept. These terms’ meanings can vary by virtue of the number of perspectives and relations to the context, as well as field (STEPANYAN, LITTLEJOHN and MARGARYAN, 2013) This concept diversity is explained by the lack of clarity in the terms, which leads to a point of convergence among several areas of epistemology (HARLOW, GOLUB and ALLENBY, 2013). These authors complement that it is difficult to reach a definition, and, it is hard to apply its praxis, which has caused consistent discussions in the literature (CIEGIS et al, 2009). Studies about these terms must recognize the existence of their many applications, knowing them to be dependent on cognitive orientation (YOLLES and FINK, 2014)
