Avaliação do nível de transparência pública de municípios do estado do Pará

Abstract

Fiscal transparency is currently a “virtue” that affects public agencies that have power of decision over the society. To be transparent is to provide information that can in some way create an environment of trust and credibility of the citizen in relation to the political sphere. This work analyzes fiscal transparency (active and passive) through virtual navigation of websites that have a population estimate greater than 50 million inhabitants of the state of Pará, according to IBGE data. We selected 45 municipalities in the state of Pará that recorded data analysis, performed through a questionnaire created by the Federal Prosecutor's Office (Ministry Public Federal) that has 16 basic questions of fiscal transparency. We sought to classify the sites according to the best percentages of questionnaires present, in addition, applying at a speed with requests from public agencies were met and were also analyzed as mesoregion media. An analysis was made in a simple way, available to those in presence and absence, and for the end of the analysis as presences transformed in percentage, generating a classification of municipalities, which were divided into high index (75% - 100%), medium index. (above 35% - 74%) and low index (below 35%). There was a good overall index in the studied municipalities, 52% of the municipalities had a high active transparency index and only 3 municipalities had the low index rating. In passive transparency, a high incidence of municipalities in response to requests is reduced, 74% of the municipalities studied do not respond to requests, either by ill will or some kind of impediment.
