Social management of the territories of citizenship: ecological and economic zoning as a management tool for the northwest territory of Minas Gerais
Main Article Content
Abstract
The territorial approach has become a reference for studies on development and social management, as it breaks with the anachronistic idea that development is restricted to economic growth, since it incorporated other dimensions such as the social, political, institutional and environmental. Thus, the aim of this paper is to show that the results of Ecological-Economic Zoning (EEZ) is an instrument of social management for the northwest territory of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The EEZ is expressed by the Ecological-Economic Index (EEI), formed by integrating two indices: the social potential of cities and natural vulnerability. For this article, we present the results of the social potential of the cities in the form of tables, charts and maps. The Potential Social Index (PSI) is formed by 36 institutional and socioeconomic indicators grouped into four components: production, natural, human and institutional resources. The results of EEZ-MG do indeed show that it is an instrument of social management of citizenship because they represent public accountability and transparency, and the construction of a social pact for development through socioeconomic indicators. The EEZ-MG is a tool for the third sector, public sector and the market to integrate public decision-making at the municipal, regional, state and federal levels.
