Resumo: With relevant scenic beauty, the Gruta do Lago Azul is one of the most important caves with national speleological heritage and is a tourist attraction with worldwide visibility. This study aims to analyze the sustainability index of the Natural Monument of the Gruta do Lago Azul in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul state. The Barometer of Tourism Sustainability (BTS) and AMOEBA of Tourism Sustainability Indicators (ATSI) were used to analyze the level of sustainability. Twenty indicators were selected that resulted in the following indices: the Human System had an average of 48.62% and the Ecological System was 58.17%. The verified index is in an intermediate stage, proportional to 41-60%, and is considered satisfactory. Despite this, a Management Plan and an Environmental Education Program were absent, and these are required by the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC). Given the foregoing, it is inferred that the integrity of the level of sustainability of the Natural Monument of the Gruta do Lago Azul is still uncertain. Therefore, to promote authentic sustainable tourism in areas that provide essential environmental services to society, such as the Gruta do Lago Azul, it is necessary to implement a compatible level of development to meet the needs of current generations, without compromising the capacity of future ones.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o índice de sustentabilidade do Monumento Natural da Gruta do Lago Azul, Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul. Foi utilizado o Barômetro da Sustentabilidade Turística (BST) e o modelo AMOEBA de Indicadores de Sustentabilidade do Turismo (AIST) para analisar o nível de sustentabilidade. Foram selecionados vinte indicadores que resultaram nos seguintes índices: o Sistema Humano apresentou média de 48,62% e o Sistema Ecológico foi equivalente a 58,17%. O índice verificado encontra-se em um estágio intermediário, proporcional a 41-60%, considerado satisfatório. Apesar disso, foi constatada a inexistência de um Plano de Manejo e de um Programa de Educação Ambiental, previstos no Sistema Nacional de Unidade de Conservação. Diante do exposto, infere-se que a integralidade do nível de sustentabilidade do Monumento Natural da Gruta do Lago Azul ainda não acontece de forma efetiva.  Portanto, fomentar um autêntico turismo sustentável em áreas que dispõe de serviços ambientais essenciais para a sociedade, como a Gruta do Lago Azul, é implementar um desenvolvimento compatível em atender às necessidades das gerações atuais, sem comprometer a capacidade das gerações futuras.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2021-03-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/5382810.14393/SN-v33-2021-53828Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 33 (2021)Sociedade & Natureza; v. 33 (2021)1982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/53828/31119https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/53828/31120Copyright (c) 2021 Marta Regina da Silva-Melo, Gleidson André Pereira de Melo, Neiva Maria Robaldo Guedesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Silva-Melo, Marta Regina daMelo, Gleidson André Pereira deGuedes, Neiva Maria Robaldo 2021-07-28T18:28:11Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/53828Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2021-07-28T18:28:11Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
