Estudo sobre o planejamento em prefeituras da microrregião de Cajazeiras-PB.

Abstract

Planning should be seen as a fundamental element for the organization of the Municipality and through its implementation instruments, some are described in constitutional matters. Thus, planning is understood as one of the classic functions of the administration, being this indispensable instrument to the municipal manager in the conduction of its government and of the actions to be implemented in that scope. In this context, this paper deals with planning, specifically in prefectures, and presents as objectives: to evaluate how the Planning function has been used within the scope of the Municipalities of the Cajazeiras-PB Microregion. Specifically, the work sought to: a) describe the organizational structures of City Halls; B) identify, in the organizational structures of City Halls, the organ (s) directly involved with the Planning function; C) specify the main processes, instruments and methodologies used to plan the actions within the scope of the City Halls; D) to know the main actors involved and their perceptions about the Planning function in City Halls. The research was qualitative, of the exploratory and descriptive type and was still characterized as field and documentary. The main results show that most of the prefectures of the Cajazeiras-PB micro-region do not yet recognize planning, as the main tool to think about a good organizational performance, since of the 15 City halls of the researched context, only two of them have a Planning department defined in its organizational structure. As results, it was verified that, although they have a Planning Secretariat, it does not imply that the planning function is being used as proposed by the authors of the area.
