| Sumario: | This research aimed to calculate and analyze the ecological footprint of the city\'s inhabitants Araguari-MG, in order to create subsidies to contribute to the process of city planning and micro, suiting local policies and integrating them into the environment and economic growth and development, to prevent or reduce the load on the human surplus local biosphere. We used the Ecological Footprint Tool - easy to understand and apply - as an instrument to measure the degree of sustainability, to measure the \"traces\" left by the inhabitants of the planet and based on their spending habits. The Ecological Footprint of the inhabitants of Araguari-MG in 2010 was 3.34 gha/person, the result of the sum of items relating to footprints: beef, fossil fuels, ethanol, housing, water, solid waste, and wood products paper and electricity. The items were most impressive fossil fuels account for 46% of the city\'s total footprint. The footprint on the electricity and beef represent respectively 38% and 8% of the total Footprint. The calculated value exceeds 1.54 gha/person that is acceptable Footprint of 1.8 gha/person, who represents the area bioproductive that every inhabitant of the planet has available in nature to sustain their consumption patterns and lifestyles, with sustainability. This value was calculated by one of the largest conservation organizations to the global nature, a Global Footprint Network. |
