GESTÃO DEMOCRÁTICA DO ORÇAMENTO PÚBLICO NO MUNICÍPIO DE GOIÂNIA : PROPOSTAS E REALIZAÇÕES (2001 - 2004)

Abstract

This work is intends to study the Participatory Budgeting in the city of Goiânia, during the administration of mayor Pedro Wilson Guimarães, with documentary reference based on the 1988 Federal Constitution which adopts a vision of decentralized management, and on its third article, draws the fundamental objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil up, which give opening for equality, solidarity, development, eradication of poverty and promotion of social well-being of every citizen. The research analyzes the participatory bud geting as a training tool that approximates the population of the local government for solutions of non -visible disabilities by Central Public Government and afflicting those who live with these flaws. The decentralization of the budget and its management is increasingly required for enabling the promotion of policies favorable to the development of the various regions inserted in the large Brazilian territorial space, softening the inconvenience caused by an uneven distribution of income in our country. Materializing this requires substantial challenges of managers that should develop public policies that minimize the social differences and provide the development of local spaces. This way, the participation of local communities to discuss the needs of det ermined regions is fundamental to the implementation of public budgets. The methodology used was the literature research, documentary research and oral research, with the collection and analysis of the testimonies of some actors who participated in the implementation of participatory budgeting in Goiânia city hall from 2001 to 2004. As a result, it was possible to see that the project was not successful in terms of continuity due to the lack cooperation of members of the Executive, like the secretaries, for example, also from the Legislature and resources for the execution of works chosen by the population.
