AÇÕES INSTITUCIONAIS EM PROL DA SUSTENTABILIDADE SOB A ÓTICA DA FERRAMENTA STARS: DIRETRIZES PARA UMA INSTITUIÇÃO DE ENSINO SUPERIOR BRASILEIRA
Abstract
This article aims to propose guidelines for institutional actions, in the area of planning and administration, in favor of sustainability through the application of the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS) tool. Therefore, a bibliographic and documentary survey was carried out, which supported a theoretical framework on the application of the STARS tool in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The option for the tool occurred because of its greater incidence in research in universities with a view to sustainability, and because several authors indicate it as the most suitable for measuring sustainability in most HEIs. Considering the above, a case study was carried out in a Brazilian HEI, comparing institutional actions in the area of planning and administration in favor of sustainability with the STARS tool. It was possible, with the triangulation of data and interpretive analysis of the manifest content of the interviews, to verify the alignment of actions to the category of the STARS tool and to identify guidelines to guide the institutional actions of the HEI. It can be observed that, even not measuring its actions through the STARS tool, the Institution has full conditions for this, considering that many subcategories are taken into account with regard to sustainability. And that the guidelines will help in planning new actions in favor of sustainability.
