Abstract

The aim of this paper was to diagnose the problems inherent to the urban planning in the Inhambane city, to purpose a quantifiable matrix of priority factors, through a multicriteria decision analysis method (Analytic Hierarchy Process), as a starting point for the definition of urban sustainability indicators to support the local decision-making process. The exploratory and field research with an inquiry applied to expert panel, recognized 64 factors (problems), distributed in 15 variables and two components, namely: urban infrastructure, which obtained a relative weight of 0.666; and the provision of economic and social services, with a weight of less than 35%, although it was the urban function with the most factors (> 57%). The matrix identified 6 priority variables, with relative values above the 0.150 index, maintaining the following ranking: housing (0.233), drainage (0.195), roads (0.193), energy (0.193), water (0.170) and transport (0.160).
