Gestão e política de sustentabilidade nas universidades públicas: o caso de duas Universidades Federais do Pará

Abstract

This thesis developed an analysis of sustainability management and policies in Federal Public Universities, whose main objective was to analyze how the management of federal universities in the Amazon region (UFPA and UFRA) are implementing sustainability policies on their campuses, based on the perception of the academic community (students, servers and managers). In theoretical-methodological terms, this study was based on the theoretical bases of interdisciplinarity, covering concepts from theoreticians of Sustainability, Public Policies, Public Management, Budget Resources, among others. Qualitative in nature, this research was carried out based on exploratory studies, through a combination of bibliographic survey, document analysis and field research, with interviews and directive questionnaires. For data analysis, we used the content analysis technique based on Bardin (2006). Through exploratory studies, it was possible to observe that sustainability policies are being implemented in the universities surveyed, in a gradual way, due to several factors such as the lack of specific public resources for socio environmental actions, economic policy of resources constraints for education, deficiency in the dissemination of the PLS and lack of educational actions.
