Análise do desempenho dos municípios recém-criados em Minas Gerais a partir do índice de sustentabilidade municipal

Abstract

Whenit was verifiedthe outbreak of the creation of municipalities in Brazil and, particularly, in Minas Gerais, sought to evaluate and measure the degree of sustainability reached by the new municipalities of Minas Gerais.Initially,municipalities were grouped into three categories: "filhos", "mães" and "neutros".Next, to evaluate the sustainability of municipalities, the Índice de Sustentabilidade Municipal (ISM) was used, a synthetic indicator that brings together eleven qualitative-quantitative variables, congregated in four dimensions: environmental, social, economic and institutional. The results showed that,of the 130 municipalities newly created in Minas Gerais, only 45 of them hadISM values higher than those recorded by the respective municipalities of origin. From this, it was possible to identify the variables and the dimensions of the synthetic indicator that were the most determinant for these municipalities to succeed.
