Local Agenda 21 as an Instrument for Sustainable Planning

This book is the result of a study conducted in Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul / Brazil, a municipality that is located on the border with Rivera / Uruguay. It aimed to analyze the implementation of Local Agenda 21, and its influences on quality of life and environmental education in the community. It became public at the IV Congreso Internacional de Desarrollo Local - Planificación Territorial, Desarrollo Sostenible y Geodiversidad, held from 9 to 12 November 2016, at the Universidad Naional Mayor de San Marcos, in Lima / Peru. The analysis of the Local Agenda 21 of Santana do Livramento allowed the verification of the importance of knowledge and implementation of its actions, showing how each strategy for local sustainable development intends to improve the living conditions of the community. The definition of visions of the future in the short, medium and long term, pointed out which goals should be achieved in 2015, 2025 and 2050. Thus, it was possible to identify which strategies and actions had already been fully implemented and the limitations found by the municipality regarding other actions proposed by the document and not yet developed.
