Abstract

The issue of sustainability in the management of civil society organizations has gained importance due to the challenges these institutions face to conciliate social, environmental, and economic objectives while contributing to sustainable territorial development. This research examined the aspect of sustainability in the management of a boatmen’s cooperative operating in Florianópolis, Southern Brazil (Cooperativa dos Barqueiros Autônomos da Costa da Lagoa – Cooperbarco). The study aimed to understand the impact of the cooperative’s development in the local community of Costa da Lagoa, adopting the technique of the “modelo trevo” (clover model) to analyze the relationships of the cooperative’s steering group with people, society, resources, and with the services the organization provides. The theoretical categories of “socio-spatial constitution” and “sustainable development” guided the study. The results revealed that the cooperative’s management presents characteristics of sustainability, because it is led by a traditional population with origins in the islands of Azores (Portugal), and due to its role in empowering the local community. In addition, the cooperative operates crucial services of urban mobility through water-based transportation, promotes community development, and has gained an important role in tourism of the city of Florianópolis.
