Abstract

The need to use sustainable development assessment mechanisms has become essential, being fundamental within public management to provide public agents with information that subsidizes the practice of planning, assessment and decision-making. In this sense, we seek to evaluate the use of the Sustainable Municipal Development Index (IDMS) as a diagnostic tool, with a view to the elaboration of public policies and compliance with the 2030 Agenda, based on the result of the IDMS from 2012 to 2018. an exploratory and descriptive research, based on secondary sources and a quantitative and qualitative approach to data, the present study demonstrates that the IDMS manages to reach multiple dimensions in its assessment of sustainable development, where 83.0% of its indicators manage to meet 16 of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. In addition, the Municipality of Palmas presented stationarity in the years of evaluation in its level of sustainable development, and alarming indicators, such as Social Participation and Protection and Risk Factors, and high quality indicators in the areas of health , education and housing.
