This research project is a collaboration between UFSC and the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Santa Catarina (CAU/SC). The objective of this study is to promote a systemic perspective on the consolidated way of life in cities, connecting various initiatives and studies already conducted by academics and various institutions. It aims to contribute to decision-making processes for urban planning, based on synergies and mutual benefits among different sectors of the city administration and scientific knowledge areas. The focus of this work is on cities in Santa Catarina, considering that the main environmental impacts in the state are directly related to urban life. Therefore, cities should be analyzed considering their areas of influence, encompassing the production of consumer goods to the disposal of waste by inhabitants, covering the entire territory of Santa Catarina. Proposals in this direction should seek ways to unite traditionally fragmented sectors, connecting academic work from various knowledge areas, based on the interconnection advocated by the UN in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To ensure mutual benefits for the quality of life in cities, the environment, ecosystem services, biodiversity, climate change, and the economy, promoting sustainable development, we propose developing a management system for the Cities Ecosystems Platform, defining standards for protocols and metadata for the indexing and connection of academic documents or those produced by society. The initial studies for the Platform involved identifying 14 preliminary thematic axes to support indexing and integrated solutions for projects and proposals for urban space: biodiversity, community, consumption and disposal, economy, education, energy, equity, governance, housing, health and wellness, mobility, natural soil, socio-environmental resilience, and water.
