Estratégias sistêmicas para criação de um sistema integrado de gestão ambiental (SIGA) na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria

Abstract

The "environmental issue" is a systemic theme and therefore interdisciplinary that permeates many areas of knowledge, such as economics, management, politics, law and culture. Thus, this study aims to evaluate systemically what are the limits and possibilities for formulating environmental management procedures in the operation of the Central Administration of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria - UFSM converging to create an Integrated Environmental Management (SIGA). The methodology and strategy of action to enable this work obey the triad: Theory Base; Procedure and Technique. The systemic-complex perspective appears as Theory Base and Methodological Approach. The procedures are the bibliographical data collection, document analysis and field research, which are possible by the production techniques of record keeping, tables, extended summaries and questionnaire to UFSM managers. As one of the main results obtained there is the current absence of a policy and environmental management system operative and concrete in UFSM, as well points out the main difficulties, needs and potentials for implementation of a framework that guides the environmental actions in UFSM, setting up the creation of an Integrated Environmental Management (SIGA).
