Abstract

The consequences of climate change have become the main fuel for the search for solutions to mitigate environmental damage caused by human action. In this sense, universal initiatives have mobilized several market sectors to adopt actions considering socio-environmental aspects, in addition to the economic factor. In this sense, the provision of environmental information is configured as a responsibility of public and private institutions regarding the right to information, in addition to promoting transparency regarding organizational activities, as well as a way to assist in decision-making to promote environmental sustainability. Thus, this work aims to develop and evaluate an environmental information system (EIS) applied to the municipality of Russas, with the aim of systematizing and disseminating information about the environment, as well as assisting in more sustainable decision-making and promoting transparency regarding the activities carried out in the municipality. For this purpose, research into similar studies was carried out in order to analyze which data could be disclosed by public and private organizations, thus defining the steps for the construction of an EIS for the Municipal Secretariat of the Environment (SEMA) of Russas. Thus, this work presents the Municipal Environmental Information System (SIMA) developed for the municipality of Russas, which seeks, through the evaluation of the system, to verify the efficiency of the platform and the proposed methodology. Thus, it was possible to verify with this study that it is possible to develop an SIA through free resources, allowing the organization of socio environmental data in a simple and effective way, promoting transparency for public management, and also contributing to indicators that can assist in directing public policies and complying with current environmental legislation.
