SOLUCIONES BASADAS EN LA NATURALEZA (SBN) EN UNA CIUDAD INTELIGENTE EN EL SUR DE BRASIL

This research aims to analyze nature-based solutions (NBS) in the management of resource (re)naturalization processes in a smart city. For this, it describes the planning, execution, management, maintenance and monitoring of management that develops actions with the use of NBS in a smart city. The article presents a qualitative approach methodology based on the interpretative paradigm using a single case study with the descriptive- -exploratory purpose of the research. The case is linked to the actions and movements implemented by the Sustainable Itajaí Institute - INIS in the municipality of Itajaí, located in the State of Santa Catarina (SC), Brazil. It is noticed that the increase in public policies aimed at the environment and ecosystems brings results so that management can, beyond inspection, be participatory and socializing, mediating sustainable movements and actions with civil society and the private sector. The smart city, with the help of INIS, has projects aimed at the development of NBS that can be adapted and replicated in regions, cities and countries.
