Abstract

This study aims to analyze regional development indicators using the barometer of sustainability and the impacts of public policies in the counties of the Legal Amazon. Based on the precepts of the Institutional Theory, Public Policies, Municipalism and Sustainable Regional Development, this research analyzes the characteristics of the 771 counties of the Legal Amazon from 26 indicators incorporated into a Sustainability Barometer composed of 9 themes. It compares them starting with the data obtained from counties, the public policies that most impact Sustainable Development in the Amazon Region. In order to allow managers and policy makers to act, as a priority, to more effectively achieve the Millennium Goals in the Legal Amazon. As a result, it was observed that the policies involving the themes of education, income, sanitary treatment and waste treatment are fundamental to increase the region to the required level of sustainability. However, the results also indicate low efficiency of human and environmental wellness in the Legal Amazon, which makes it possible to observe the contribution to the increase of knowledge over the subject, taken into account the methodology developed and the results set forth, without running out the possibilities of further researches.
