Uso das TICs como ferramentas de participação social nas políticas de ordenamento territorial em Vitória/ ES

Abstract

In the current scenario of a technological revolution, the dissertation focused on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in social participation in territorial planning policy in Vitória, Espírito Santo. The literature review explored the right to the city and the different types of participation, suggesting degrees of participation and participation effectiveness indicators that enabled the evaluation process. In a second phase, the technological revolution is addressed to understand how it influences current participatory social dynamics. The results revealed a predominance of participation degrees pointing towards consultation and information, which are considered degrees of pseudo-participation. The comparison with participation effectiveness indicators highlighted the need for managers' commitment to promote more effective and inclusive participation. The study points to the potential of ICTs to enhance social participation but emphasizes the importance of investment and engagement to overcome identified challenges and promotes positive and lasting change.
