O Cenário Latino-Americano Da Sustentabilidade Na Indústria Da Construção Civil: Revisão Sistemática

Abstract

Sustainable development aims to find a balance between economic growth and rational use of resources, which directly impacts the most important activities, just like civil construction. In this sense, the present article aims to perform a literature review about sustainability in the construction industry between 1990 and 2020, focusing on Latin America in an approach that makes it possible to evaluate management tools in comparison to other scenarios. As a methodological strategy, the PRISMA methodology was used to include articles for quali-quantitative analysis. In the analysis step, 11 articles related to Latin America were included, confirming the incipient number of studies focusing in sustainability in civil construction, especially in developing countries. Studies have shown recurring points regarding the lack of a systemic view and an integrated approach that considers, among others, environmental, economic and social aspects. About the last one, it is important to highlight the importance of training of human resources for the use of sustainable management tools and methodologies that can assist in decision making and dissemination of a planning culture, based on the principle of prevention.
