The sustainable development concept has been used as a basic framework of urban
planning processes. Due to its subjective components there were cases where the
sustainability principles were used as marketing instruments, instead of an objective
planning tool. As an attempt to reverse this situation the group for Sustainable and
Strategic Urban Planning, from the São Carlos Federal University, studies way to apply
sustainable development principles in the assessment and analysis of urban projects.
In this thesis it was created a Method, which can be used in the evaluation of
components of urban water system projects (water supply, wastewater collection and
treatment, urban drainage, etc.). The Method is based on defined parameters and
uses descriptive lists, flowcharts and interaction matrices to indicate sustainability
tendencies (positive, negative or neutral). This model was applied in five different
projects, which indicated some adjustments. The model was considered simple and
effective. Another advantage of the Method is its modular character: new information
and tools can be added, in order to obtain more complex analysis. Besides that, it can
be used to evaluate the planning or performance of other sustainable systems.
