Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze how the clean development mechanism (CDM) landfill projects can generate innovations in sanitation services contributing to improve the urban solid waste (USW) management. The methodological procedures consist, firstly, in identifying the opportunities for innovation related to the USW segment using the conceptual basis and the analytical structure of the multiagent model for services innovation; considering the stakeholders related to the Bandeirantes and São João landfills, both located in the São Paulo municipality, selected for the empirical research. From the stakeholders identification, the second methodological procedure consist in the adaptation of the social carbon methodology constructing sustainability indicators to evaluate the social and environmental outcomes of CDM projects on landfills. While the emissions reductions are monitored and verified periodically by the certification bodies, the contribution to the sustainable development of CDM projects location requires regulatory aspects to define the procedures to monitor and ensure an assessment of results. The agents identified from multiagent model are stand out in four categories: landfills surrounding communities; concessionary companies responsible for the landfills operation; concessionary companies responsible for the capture of biogas; municipal public bodies. As results of the indicators application in the stakeholders it is highlight that opportunities for innovation relating to the final disposal of solid waste services in the Bandeirantes and São João landfills are linked to the establishment of a new organizational structure, in relation to the situation and agents engaged before of the CDM projects implementation, guided by the insertion of the stakeholders identified in this research. And able to ratify changes in preferences and competences of the agents in order to enhance not only the technical performance (improving/ adequacy and technical parameters of service management accomplishment) and commercial (generation and transaction of carbon credits) but also relational performance (access and participation of the stakeholders) and social innovation (results for the surrounding communities) (AU)
