The aim of this research consists of measuring the sustainability degree for tourism destinations considering the stakeholder's preferences. Their opinions were included in the overall process during the choice of the initial indicators and determining the weights. Additionally, in the aggregation process, a sustainability index was calculated with a multiple criteria decision theory methodology, according to its ability to embrace the participant opinions in the decision‐making process. Results allows determining the sustainability degree and the identification of strengths and weaknesses in terms of goals attainment. To corroborate the robustness of the index, an analysis of the rankings was performed.

RESUMOObjetivou-se avaliar o nível de sustentabilidade dos produtores rurais em quatro municípios do Sertão da Paraíba, analisando a contribuição dos indicadores quanto à qualidade de vida, preservação ambiental e capital social. Os dados foram obtidos, mediante aplicação de questionário com 40 produtores rurais de cada município e, com base nestes dados, foram calculados os índices de qualidade de vida, capital social e ambiental, para, então, definir o índice de sustentabilidade. Nos municípios do Sertão paraibano estudados, verificou-se que, segundo os produtores rurais, as atividades pecuárias que apresentam melhor desempenho econômico são a caprinocultura, a apicultura e a bovinocultura. Dentro das atividades agrícolas, destacam-se a fruticultura e a cultura de sequeiro. Em relação ao índice de qualidade de vida, todos os municípios foram caracterizados como nível médio. Para o índice de capital social, apenas Triunfo foi definido como baixo nível, os demais foram classificados como médio. O município de Santa Helena apresentou índice ambiental de médio nível de preservação, sendo as caracterizações dos demais municípios de baixo nível. A sustentabilidade dos produtores rurais, dos municípios de São João do Rio do Peixe, Santa Helena e Poço de José de Moura foi definido como médio. O município de Triunfo foi classificado como de baixo nível de sustentabilidade dos produtores rurais o qual teve contribuição negativa da baixa preservação ambiental e pequena participação social dos produtores.Palavras-chave: Comportamento ambiental.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the level of sustainability of rural producers in four municipalities of Sertão da Paraíba, analyzing the contribution of the indicators regarding quality of life, social capital and environmental preservation of producers. The data were obtained through application of questionnaires with 40 rural producers from each municipality and, based on these data, indices of quality life, social and environmental capital were calculated, in order, to calculate the sustainability index. In the municipalities of Sertão, in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, we verified that, according to the rural producers, the livestock activities that present the best economic performance are goat breeding, beekeeping and cattle breeding. Within the agricultural activities, fruit culture and the dry land culture stand out. In relation to the quality of life index, all municipalities were characterized as medium. For the social capital index, only Triunfo was defined as low level, since the others were classified as average. The municipality of Santa Helena presented an environmental index for the rural producers of medium level of preservation, and as characterizations of the other municipalities were low level. The sustainability of rural producers, in the municipalities of São João do Rio do Peixe, Santa Helena and Poço de José de Moura was defined as medium. The municipality of Triunfo was clas...

“…Delai and Takahashi (2011) point out some well-known guidelines, frameworks and measurement systems on sustainability: i) Global Reporting Initiative -GRI; ii) sustainability metrics of the Institution of Chemical Engineers; iii) the Dow Jones Sustainability Index; iv) Triple Bottom Line Index (TBL); v) the ETHOS Corporate Social Responsibility Indicators; vi) the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises. Some sustainability indicators have also been suggested in the literature (Veleva & Ellenbecker, 2001;Azapagic, 2004;Krajnc & Glavič, 2005;Labuschagne, Brent & van Erck, 2005;Matopoulos & Bourlakis., 2010;Hai, Hai, Ha, Ha, Dai, Hoa et al, 2014;Salvado et al, 2015).…”

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to assess the level of sustainability of the UK automotive supply chain considering simultaneously the three dimensions of sustainability (economic, social and environmental) representing the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach.Design/methodology/approach: The assessment of the automotive SC’ sustainability is based on the framework proposed by Salvado, Azevedo, Matias and Ferreira (2011) and uses the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to aggregate economic, environmental and social indicators into a unique index. A case study on the UK automotive industry is used and the data do perform this study is collected from the sustainability reports of the UK’ automotive companies.Findings and Originality/value: The proposed framework represents an important benchmarking tool, offering managers the possibility for assessing the sustainability behaviour of its supply chain and compare it with other supply chains. Once identified the dimension of sustainability where the company or the supply chain is worst performer managers can work closer to their supply chain’ partners in order to improve the performance of those dimension of sustainability.Research limitations/implications: One limitation of the suggested approach is related to the ambiguity of the sustainability’ indicators selection and the definition of weights for each sustainability dimension.Practical implications: The assessment of the SC sustainability by using the suggested framework to compute a SC sustainability index offers managers an opportunity for assessing the level of sustainability of each individual company and the corresponding SC in a very easy way. It also represents an opportunity for improving company performance. In this way managers can use the information on the sustainability index to help adjust their company's behaviour and improve their economic, social and environmental performance.Originality/value: The proposed framework represents a contribution in the area of index construction and a valuable component of organizational management systems and monitoring programs.
