Práticas sustentáveis na gestão de documentos: benefícios percebidos com a implantação do SEI em um campus da UFCG.

Abstract

We live in an era of immediacy and consumerism, where everything happens very quickly and becomes obsolete or disposable, causing an unprecedented ecological imbalance. Faced with this reality, the need to be sustainable emerges as an attempt to rebalance the use of natural, economic, and social resources and preserve the environment for future generations. This is a collective effort that gains more followers every day and, to be successful, requires the collaboration of everyone, including public bodies. Among the sustainability practices of public bodies, document management has made its contribution through the creation of the Electronic Information System (SEI) within the scope of the Federal Regional Court of the 4th region – TRF4, a tool that changed the way of managing documents and processes while replacing paper with born-digital documents, which are currently present in many public bodies. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the contributions achieved with the implementation of the Electronic Information System (SEI) regarding sustainable practices at the Center for Sustainable Development of the Semi-Arid (CDSA), campus of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) located in Sumé-PB. This is an exploratory-descriptive study, whose methodological procedure used was the case study. To this end, bibliographical and documentary research was used, in addition to the application of a questionnaire with the institution's employees, in order to verify their perception regarding the SEI and the sustainable aspects arising from the system, based on ecological, economic, social, psychological, and political dimensions. Finally, the objective was to propose an action plan for the evaluation and appropriate disposal of documents and physical processes archived in the administrative sectors of the CDSA prior to the SEI. The research showed that employees perceive the SEI as a document management tool that promotes sustainability in the CDSA/UFCG.
