Sustentabilidade Alagoana: Uma análise em clusters dos indicadores de desenvolvimento sustentável dos municípios da zona costeira

Abstract

The present work intends to examine the development of the coastal zone of the state of Alagoas, guided by the Sustainable Development Indicators of the Dashboard of Sustainability (based on IBGE), adopting as a methodological procedure a cluster analysis, through the R program platform, to select into 2 groups, positive and negative, the 4 dimensions of sustainable development (Environmental, economic, social and institutional). As a result of the analysis, it demonstrates the success of the north coastal zone, highlighting the city of Maragogi for achieving a positive result in the 4 dimensions of the study, and the city of Maceió, which played the role of outlier in 2 (Social and institutional) out of the 4 dimensions . Another result of the general analysis is the decay of the environmental dimension in the study, with few municipalities with a positive result, and the apparent correlation between the institutional dimension and the social and economic dimensions.
