Análise da transparência do poder executivo nos portais de eletrônicos dos estados do nordeste do Brasil.

Abstract

Public transparency is a fundamental component for the promotion of democracy, since it guarantees society the right of access to government information. Given this, and considering that a transparent administration allows the participation of the population in the management and control of public administration, the need arises that public managers are protagonists in search of improvements in this scenario. In this sense, the present study aims to analyze the transparency of executive power in the electronics portals of Northeastern Brazil. It is a qualitative, documental and descriptive research with intentional and non­probabilistic sampling. For this purpose, informational protocols were used according to the model of Janhs and Raupp (2016) through observations in the electronic portals of the Executive Power of the Brazilian Northeastern states from three dimensions: publicity, comprehensibility and utility. The analysis of each parameter of the dimensions was made from weights, being: high capacity weight 3, average capacity weight 2, capacity low weight 1 and null, weight 0. Given the above, it was possible to observe that in these states there is the compliance with the minimum requirements established by current legislation, however, no innovations or progress have been visualized, pointing to a better public transparency. The advertising element was the most homogeneous of the others, since the majority of the parameters reached the average capacity. The element of comprehensibility is what most needs to increase in the sites surveyed for a better understanding on the part of the citizens. The utility element presented the average capacity in most parameters, demonstrating the need for modifications regarding compliance with the legislation and the best presentation of the information provided. As a limitation of the study, it is pointed out that it is difficult to identify information in the analyzed sites according to the criteria pointed out by the legislation, which made it difficult to standardize the data, which is justified by the lack of standardization of the electronic portals. It is suggested that new studies be carried out in other Brazilian regions or municipalities in order to draw a general picture capable of performing a global analysis of the Brazilian reality.
