Cidades inteligentes, saudáveis e sustentáveis, Eficiência energética, Gestão de resíduosResumo
Contexto: Este estudo explora o impacto de indicadores ambientais na qualidade do ar, na gestão de resíduos e na qualidade da água nas cidades.
Objetivo: avaliar como esses indicadores podem subsidiar políticas urbanas sustentáveis voltadas à melhoria do meio ambiente e da saúde pública.
Metodologia: A pesquisa utiliza uma abordagem quantitativa e descritiva, utilizando questionários para coleta de dados por meio da ferramenta Google Forms, seguida de análise por meio de estatística descritiva e Modelagem de Equações Estruturais por Mínimos Quadrados Parciais. O estudo identifica quatro indicadores ambientais principais e o desenvolvimento de um modelo inicial composto por 74 questões. Este modelo é avaliado quanto à sua confiabilidade, validade discriminante e validade convergente. O Fator de Inflação da Variância (VIF) é utilizado para analisar a colinearidade. O modelo final inclui valores de R² e coeficientes de caminho, que apresentam alto poder explicativo.
Contribuição: este estudo contribui para a literatura ao oferecer um arcabouço teórico sobre cidades sustentáveis. Do ponto de vista acadêmico, apresenta uma metodologia eficiente para a criação de um mapa estratégico e um modelo estatístico que pode ser utilizado por gestores municipais. Na prática, a pesquisa fornece aos formuladores de políticas públicas um modelo validado que pode auxiliar na gestão e no monitoramento de resíduos urbanos, visando à melhoria da qualidade ambiental e à proteção da saúde pública.
Resultados: os resultados sugerem que, embora os indicadores ambientais impactem significativamente certas áreas, um maior refinamento do modelo poderia ajudar a enfrentar melhor os complexos desafios da sustentabilidade urbana.
