Sumario:This article aims to analyze the sustainable development of the municipality of Cihuatlán in the South Coast region of the state of Jalisco (Mexico) using Pressure-State-Response (PSR) and Driving Forces-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) indicators. The work was done emphasized three sectors: forestry, agriculture and tourism. The information was obtained from official documents, participation in workshops and interviews with relevant actors, the latter helped to identify environmental problems and made a subjective assessment of their status. The main problem identified was inadequate waste management, other pressures are related to ecosystem degradation and biodiversity, vulnerability to climate change and air pollution. Regarding responses, highlighted the poor application of existing laws on environmental management, as well as the low importance of protection and respect for the environment, particularly among local public officials. The originality lies in the proposal of a set of municipal indicators that must be quantified in order to know how to achieve sustainable development.
