PIACENTI, Samara Cristina Vieceli; LIMA, Jandir Ferrera De  and  PIACENTI, Carlos Alberto. THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF MICROREGIONS FROM PARANÁ DURING THE YEARS OF 2000 AND 2012. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.49, pp.89-114. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v21n49a4.

This article studies the sustainable development profile of 39 microregions in the state of Paraná, Brazil. For each microregion, we analyzed the environmental, economic, social and institutional dimensions. In order to verify the indicators evolution and improvement, we used data from 2000 and 2012 in the Sustainability Panel to generate the Sustainable Development Index. The results show that the microregion of Curitiba had the best performance in sustainable development. However, the most developed microregions from 2000 to 2012 were Pato Branco, Londrina and Ponta Grossa, whereas the least developed ones were Jaguariaíva, São Mateus do Sul, Prudentópolis and Lapa.
