ABSTRACT
The aim is to present and discuss the level of sustainability of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil based on Sustainability
Indicators using the Barometer of Sustainability. The Barometer of
Sustainability is a method of two-dimensional analysis which assesses the
wellbeing in human and ecological dimensions of an equitable and systematic
system, not leaving the data overlap, not masking the results and finding in a
Wellbeing Index. The results showed that Ribeirão Preto is on intermediate
level in relation to sustainable development with better performance in human
dimensions. The themes of Soil and Biodiversity
were considered unsustainable in the analysis of findings. This reveals that
the city presents a greater concern with the socio-economic issues at the
expense of environmental issues.
KEYWORDS
