O modelo logístico “PENTAPORT”: uma análise comparativa do desenvolvimento e da sustentabilidade da cidade de Incheon, na Coreia do Sul, e da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza

Abstract

The insufficient amount of natural resources had instigated, since a few decades, the debate regarding the importance of evaluating the consequences of human activities and the urge of analyze the development in a sustainable approach. In this context, this work aims to analyze sustainable development policies, applied in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, in the Brazilian state of Ceará, and the Incheon City, in South Korea, in the light of the logistic model “pentaport” and the sustainability dimensions. The Korean city was chosen for this study because hosts the first logistic model named as “pentaport” in the world, which consists in five ports in the same zone. The study is characterized as a quali-quantitave and applied research, where were used technical procedures such as bibliographical research, documentary survey and interviews with local citizens. To verify if the growth of the locations occurred in a sustainable manner, indicators were elaborated in the light of the Bellagio Principles. The template proposed by Aderaldo (2012) for the construction of the Sustainable Development Susceptibility Index was applied to evaluate the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza indicators. After the data analysis, it was perceived that the logistic model that is still being established in the Asian city was executed on a structured manner, to enable the uniform growth through different perspectives, serving as a standard to be followed by the region in Ceará, in which, besides the achieved economic progress, it reveals a controversy in the social and environmental development. It was noticed that the measurement of the sustainable development through the indicators creation and analysis consists in an effective method to assess public policies, considering the repercussion in the community and in the natural and urban environments.
