A importância das escalas de desempenho no tema atmosfera na estruturação dos resultados do barômetro da sustentabilidade. Revista UNIARA, Araraquara, v. 18, n. 2, p. 95-112, dez. 2015.1415-3580http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/13708The Sustainability Indicators are relevant to different topics, in order to assess, monitor and characterize the process of sustainable development of a given spatial area. The Atmosphere theme is important and relevant because greenhouse gas emissions can negatively impact the quality of life of living beings. Among the different tools available, the Barometer of Sustainability (BS) was selected for evaluation. From this perspective, the basic aim of this research was to demonstrate the importance of Performance scales in the topic atmosphere in environmental dimension, taking the example of Ribeirão Preto (SP). The methodology was based principally on the Seven Stages cycle for application and analysis of BS. The level of quality of the atmosphere topic showed a positive potential towards sustainability.porAcesso AbertoIndicadores de sustentabilidadeQualidade do arBarômetro da sustentabilidadeDesenvolvimento sustentávelSustainability indicatorsAir qualityBarometer of sustainabilitySustainable developmentArtigo
