In the information age we live in today, transparency in public administration has become more vital than ever. Well-informed and engaged citizens are the foundation of a healthy democracy; access to quality public information is essential for them to perform their roles as overseers and active participants in government decisions that affect their lives. Citizen participation is necessary for the most efficient and effective economic decisions to promote an accurate allocation of resources, fostering trust in markets and thereby contributing to building a more prosperous future. This study explores the issue of active transparency in municipalities in the State of Pará, evaluating the quality of information provided in relation to an ideal model of citizen-oriented reporting - the Popular Report. Through the application of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) model, along with the perspectives of Communication Theory and Disclosure Theory, we investigated the disclosure of information by municipalities in Pará in terms of active transparency, revealing a diverse scenario. We seek to contribute to the field of Applied Economics by offering data based on empirical evidence to guide the creation of public policies that encourage transparency and access to information. It was observed that real-time disclosure of municipal expenditures plays a key role in transparency. The findings support public managers and legislators by providing them with solid arguments to promote more efficient public communication adapted to the needs of citizens. The inclusion of the Popular Report in the monitoring structure of the Courts of Accounts is suggested as a way to promote greater institutional transparency. In this context, the study not only seeks to contribute to the dialogue on government transparency in Brazil, but also makes resources available to promote a municipal administration that is more accessible to citizens and participatory, in which the individual has an active role.

Proposição de um software para monitoramento do desempenho da sustentabilidade em municípios paraenses

Brazil is being demanded and challenged to improve its control and efficiency over environmental and social projects. In 2023, the UN confirmed that COP-30, scheduled for 2025, will be hosted in Belém-PA, attracting the attention of several heads of state to the Amazon, a region entangled in geopolitical and ideological discourses. To meet global expectations, local authorities will need to show that biodiversity is a wealth of life and ways of life. To achieve this, it will be necessary to identify and mitigate the challenges highlighted in the goals of the 2030 Agenda, above all, harmonizing the interests present in meeting the goals with local reality and expectations, as currently even Public Policies (PP) implemented at national level still cannot have the effective adhesion of local agents, thus hindering its effectiveness. In this sense, we understand that indicators are important instruments for planning and evaluating PP, in the context of Sustainable Development, these indicators are more complex because they deal with issues that go beyond the notion of locality and temporality, as social and environmental events cannot be measured. and treated as economic or organizational metrics. Therefore, a good sustainability indicator needs to be easy to implement, understand and incorporate into PP projects. In this context, the Sustainability Barometer (BS) is a very useful and versatile holistic indicator of sustainability, also being an indicator already applied in several studies conducted in the State of Pará and predominating in studies applied to settlements, companies, municipalities, etc. Furthermore, the BS has a pedagogical advantage, as it easily communicates the situation, being easy to interpret and analyze. For these reasons, the BS was implemented in software to serve as a tool in the process of generating sustainability levels by municipality and region. Finally, in this work an investigation was conducted that allowed the BS method to be applied in an automated way to the 144 municipalities in Pará. In the application, several variables from the environmental, economic and social dimensions were used, allowing us to determine that the State and its regions present an Intermediate level of sustainability, with the economic dimension being the most vulnerable. We also identified that the municipalities of Belém and Parauapebas presented the best performances, while Viseu and Cachoeira do Piriá presented the worst. The panorama demonstrates that the State needs to invest in PP instruments to improve urban planning, as population growth and the emergence of new unplanned housing areas lead to various human and environmental losses. On the other hand, urban growth ordered and guided by public authorities minimizes the number of sub-housings and eradicates social problems by improving access for the most vulnerable populations to goods and services, guaranteeing human and ecosystem well-being.
