RESUMO

The modern problems are complex and require solutions that reflect impacts on socioeconomic, environmental, and political-institutional aspects in terms of their different degrees of importance. Within this context, a crosscutting analysis of concepts related to sustainable development, sustainable agriculture, watershed structure, and the use of indicators to measure local sustainability is of paramount importance for determining the type of local level development. The objective of this research is to collect information related to management practices and rural development in the context of the watersheds of Ribeirão Cachoeirinha and Córrego do Meio in the municipality of São Luiz do Paraitinga, SP. The goal is to propose preliminary sustainability indicators that would support an integrated watershed management strategy and promote a sustainable development of the community. Indicators should be based on the sustainability of all activities developed in the watershed and also be useful tools for implementing the actual sustainable development and serve as reference in the decision making process. Methods involved a general characterization of the area and the community through field survey and document sources. The criteria utilized for defining the boundaries of the area were based on the Watershed State Program developed by the State Government of São Paulo through the Department of Agriculture and Supply. The results led to the development of 83 sustainability indicators and a must needed articulate strategy by the community sector in the region to promote true local sustainable development.
