Resumo: The existence of sustainable practices in ecovillages is the main assumption of this research paper. Ecovillages spread out trough many countries and continents show up as possible environmentally sustainable community organizations. However, very few methodologically designed studies have addressed environmental sustainability in terms of social, economic and natural resources dimensions of such an organization. This research paper aims to evaluate the level of the community environmental sustainability of Piracanga ecovillage, a rural community in Maraú municipality, at the Atlantic South Coast of Bahia, Brazil. By interviewing 32 out of 92 local residents, this research shows environmental sustainability level of the social, economic and natural resources dimensions, raises questions regarding the ecovilage sustainability, suggests improving indicators to grasp social and economic sustainability of the community environment, at the same time that recognizes on it innovative solutions that can be reproduced for the sake of a better social environment.

As ecovilas, atualmente espalhadas em inúmeros países, nos vários continentes, apresentam-se como alternativas de organização socioambiental sustentável. Entretanto, são raros os estudos que avaliam de forma sistemática em que medida as ecovilas são organizações socioambientais sustentáveis. Este trabalho resulta de uma pesquisa que avalia o nível de sustentabilidade ambiental nas dimensões social, econômica e dos componentes naturais da Ecovila de Piracanga, no município de Maraú, Bahia. Foram identificados diferentes níveis de sustentabilidade ambiental da comunidade, entre as dimensões indicadas, mediante dados obtidos por entrevistas com 32 dos 92 residentes locais, bem como formulados questionamentos em torno da sustentabilidade da ecovila estudada, e sugerido aperfeiçoamento nos indicadores sociais e econômicos visando contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento da proposta, sem deixar de reconhecer que, apesar das fragilidades, trata-se de uma alternativa que aponta soluções ambientalmente inovadoras, aplicáveis em diferentes contextos.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2018-04-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/4099410.14393/SN-v29n3-2017-7Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 29 No. 3 (2017); 455-467Sociedade & Natureza; v. 29 n. 3 (2017); 455-4671982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/40994/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2018 Bárbara Nascimento Floresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFlores, Bárbara NascimentoDal Pozzo Trevizan, Salvador2021-04-30T13:55:17Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/40994Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2021-04-30T13:55:17Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
