Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to collect data and select a bibliographic portfolio (BP) of the literature on the performance evaluation of business process management (BPM) governance, in order to highlight studies aligned with business process governance, and with scientific recognition and its bibliometric parameters. Design/methodology/approach: The research method is qualitative and the process of identification, selection, and analysis of the articles in the BP took place through evaluation and interpretation by the authors of this research. Regarding data collection, this research used primary data in the selection of the BP, and secondary data when the authors analyzed the articles. Findings: The paper selects a set of 19 articles with scientific recognition and aligned with the research topic, which refers to the performance evaluation of BPM governance. This set is called the BP, and highlights and contains the most often present journals, articles, authors, and keywords found in the search performed by the authors. Originality/value: This research uses thorough procedures for the selection process that differ from traditional procedures: the selection process is structured in a way that allows checking of each research stage; the research topic is fragmented into many areas of study and the search is carried out simultaneously in all these areas; and the researchers interact with the search process and as they expand their learning they adjust the search direction.

O trabalho objetiva revisar e refletir sobre a Educação Ambiental (EA) como caminho para desenvolvimento Sustentável, no campo da educação. Este último, mais especificamente, no ensino. Para tanto, parte da historiedade e da logicidade do assunto, em sua transitoriedade, constituindo-se em um artigo de revisão. Em decorrência, este estudo foi realizado por meio de uma abordagem exploratória, com método qualitativo, de raciocínio indutivo, tomando como base revisão bibliográfica e documental para a apropriação conceitual. Sua relevância se volta para a abordagem de dois assuntos inter, multi e transdisciplinares, que se revelam e se complementam em um entendimento social mais amplo. As reflexões aqui tratadas sob o contexto da Educação ambiental apontam para o desafio do respectivo campo. Este deve conceber e disseminar conhecimentos científicos oriundos e inerentes à Educação e desenvolvimento sustentável, que sejam capazes de operar com a transformação do paradigma social atual, no qual esta ciência se amalgama, para aquele que se espera no futuro: a educação ambiental contextualizada e articulada com o paradigma do desenvolvimento sustentável. Conclui que o desafio de se incorporar a educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável no ensino deve ser enfrentado por meio da Educação Ambiental. Educação Ambiental se constitui numa forma abrangente de educação, que se propõe atingir todos os cidadãos, através de um processo participativo permanente que procura incutir uma consciência crítica sobre a problemática ambiental.

PARTICIPAÇÃO COMUNITÁRIA COMO PRÁTICA DE INOVAÇÃO SOCIAL: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO CENTRO EDUCACIONAL MARISTA LÚCIA MAYVORNE

This study aims to analyze the actions of the Invisible Cities Project (ICP) as an example of social innovation and as a way of giving visibility to vulnerable communities. Initially, a theoretical framework was established to understand the possibilities of the visibility of isolated and poor communities located within the urban setting. This framework was established based on the literature that addresses the role of social innovation in cities. Then, participant observations were made in a community to analyze the initiatives that are part of the ICP. Finally, semi-structured interviews were conducted; these interviews reported the lived experiences of participants involved in the project through the narratives of the community members. Drawing from the specialized literature, it was found that this project carries out various aspects of social innovation, such as social visibility, empowerment, the articulation of different actors in society, social inclusion, and the improvement of the urban public space. The project also addresses a variety of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as eradicating poverty, promoting health and well-being, reducing inequalities, and fostering more sustainable cities and communities.

Frugal innovation (FI) is a recent topic in the scientific literature and it was introduced in relation to management studies. According to scholars, FI is a promising way to serve low-income people who cannot afford conventional products, especially those in developing countries, and to address the urgent need to rethink how resources can be used effectively to operate a sustainable business in the emerging global scenario. This systematic literature review article investigates how the use of qualitative research in studies on FI can contribute to the theory and applicability of FI in society. Searches were conducted in the Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and Web of Science databases. After surveying and sorting the documents found, 61 research articles dealing with the various aspects and concepts of FI and addressing the use of qualitative research were selected for this literature review.

This exploratory study addresses innovation in the planning and management of urban sustainability, focusing on the intersection between the preservation of cultural heritage and sustainable development in cities. It emphasizes the importance of cultural heritage, which includes monuments, historical sites, and cultural practices, as fundamental to social cohesion, sustainable tourism, and education, amid the challenges of balancing urban growth with the preservation of cultural identity. Adopting an exploratory approach, the study aims to identify specific opportunities and challenges in urban contexts, proposing the integration of culture as an essential pillar for the sustainable development of cities. It highlights the need to transcend technical discussions on sustainability to include the valorization of tangible and intangible cultural elements, thereby promoting a more inclusive and resilient urban environment.
