Abstract
Introduction: In general, the creation system in Brazil has been characterized as an activity of great importance in the socio-economic market, as it generates employment and income opportunities.
Aims: This work aims to carry out a brief bibliographical review regarding the use of sustainability indicators within the creation systems.
Literature Review: The notion of sustainability is still a recent term and is under construction. Among the countless concepts of sustainability found in specialized literature, sustainability means the "possibility of continuously obtaining equal or superior conditions of life for a group of people and their successors in a given ecosystem. On the other hand, the concept of indicators, as well as for the concept of sustainability does not have a universal definition. Sustainability indicator “is an instrument that allows, based on its interpretation, to define the condition of a system as sustainable or not.” In other words, sustainability indicators can be understood as parameters, in which the assessment shows whether the limit, established according to the values and objectives that govern a given reality, was exceeded or respected.
Keywords: Construction, ecosystem, indicator, sustainable
