Resumo
Materializar o conceito desenvolvimento sustentável é um problema complexo, pois as bases conceituais sobre as questões envolvidas não estão consolidadas. Não há consenso sobre o que medir como medir e, principalmente, sobre como ponderar e combinar dados. Este trabalho discute e testa método para avaliação do desenvolvimento na perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentável, considerando o sistema a ser avaliado composto por subsistemas (pessoas e ecossistema), oito dimensões e duas categorias. As dimensões contemplam aspectos, que são características do sistema que devem ser consideradas para a avaliação. A consulta a atores chaves do sistema em foco precede a escolha e ponderação dos aspectos e ponderação das dimensões. Discute-se a adoção da análise fatorial para redução do número de aspectos para avaliação. São calculados índices agregados para dimensões, subsistemas e para o sistema analisado. Para teste da abordagem proposta foi realizada uma aplicação tendo como referência o estado de Rondônia (Brasil).

Abstract
Materialize the concept sustainable development is a complex problem, therefore the conceptual bases on the involved questions are not consolidated. There is no consensus on what to measure, how to measure and, principally, on as to ponder and combine data. This work argues and tests method for evaluation of the development in the perspective of sustainable development, considering the system to be evaluated composed of subsystems (people and ecosystem), eight dimensions and two categories. The dimensions contemplate aspects that are characteristic of the system that must be considered for the evaluation. Consultation to system evaluated key actors precedes the choice and balance of the aspects and dimensions. It is argued the adoption of the factorial analysis as the technique for reduction of the number of aspects for evaluation. Indices aggregate for dimensions, subsystems and for the system are calculated. For test of the approach proposal is carried through an application having as reference the state of Rondônia (Brazil).
