O governo aberto nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do Brasil: uma caracterização das atividades eletrônicas desenvolvidas

Abstract

This study aims to characterize the functioning of open government activities on electronic State Executive Powers held in regions South and Southeast of Brazil, covering the States of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais. The informations were collected in the first quadrimester of the year 2011, and these formed the subsidy to the structure of the work, which involved two forms of search: one by means of structured electronic questionnaire applied to managers of the governments who were studied, another developed by evaluation of official electronic governmental sites using structured schedule. The results obtained on the intersection of the data show that there is a multiplicity of actions in open Government in electronic format, but the stage of evolution of institutions which were studied is discharged as a variable. Also, there are important aspects to be improved in Governments regarding the theme of this study. A fact that proves this is the difficulty of obtaining data by form applied to public managers, where we can see bureaucracy and slow response by some institutions. It was found that there are several actions under development geared to transparency, collaboration and participation in electronic format, which are the basis for an open government. This fact raises the expectation of a continued evolution, including the possibility of benchmarking among the ones studied.
