| Abstract | One of the consequences of climate change is the intensification of extreme events, including increased storms in some regions and extended droughts in others. In 2014, the megacity of São Paulo, in the southeastern part of Brazil, experienced a critical water crisis. The magnitude of it left millions suffering from intermittent disruptions in water supplies and its consequences unfolded throughout the region. Scientists predict further warming and reduction in precipitation for the southeast of Brazil for the coming decades (Chou et al., 2014). In Brazil, the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) consists of São Paulo city plus 38 other municipalities with a population of almost 22 million, making it the largest metropolis in the southern hemisphere. Approximately 54% of its total area is in water source protection. MASP water sources have strategic importance, both socioeconomically and environmentally. Therefore, the municipalities within protected areas should be the target of special attention. It is commonly inferred that the environmental legislation imposed to the population in the water protection areas is the cause of their economic stagnation and low social conditions. Our study aims to determine the dynamics of development identified within three dimensions - economic, social and environmental - and applied to the 39 municipalities of the MASP. It investigates whether the preservation of water sources is attained at the cost of socioeconomic development of the host region. Therefore we measure and compare living standards and environmental wellbeing for the MASP municipalities, given that the goal is to secure sustainable development and preservation of water sources. The first step of the methodology is to develop a geographic database for the municipalities in the study area, including economic, social and environmental indicators. In the next step, the methodology of the Barometer of Sustainability (BS) is used as a tool to measure development and wellbeing of a society/region. Indicators for human and ecosystem wellbeing are aggregated in thematic and dimensional indices. Subsequently, performance scales are generated for each indicator, allowing the identification of vulnerabilities and the proposal of adaptive measures. Preliminary analysis has shown that municipalities with the highest percentage of water sources in their area perform the highest for environmental wellbeing while presenting some of the lowest socioeconomic indicators. Further investigation will be conducted to determine the perspectives of a sustainable development and socioeconomic inclusion for the water source protection areas, considering the local context and within environmental limits. This study can be used as a preliminary analysis to guide policy makers and other stakeholders as to where their municipalities stand in relation to development. It can also assist in the identification of priorities in line with public policies. Future updates can be incorporated and another assessment performed as new data becomes available. By doing so, municipalities will be able to monitor progress towards achieving the goals of sustainable development. Overall this work can determine the premises for a socioeconomic development compatible with the conservation of a natural resource. The challenge is to find balance between economic growth and environmental protection by integrating environmental policies and reducing social inequalities within the general framework of sustainable development. |
