Institutionalization and social participation in the urban design master plan of an Amazonian capital
Main Article Content
Abstract
The urban design master plan for cities was regulated to guarantee and increase participation mechanisms, achieving legitimacy and joint responsibility, and although the legislation establishes a mandatory master plan for cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants, its application is not a reality in some regions. The main objective of this article was to analyze the institutionalization of the master plan revision for the municipality of Porto Velho, carrying out qualitative research that uses descriptive procedures through a case study. In secondary data, content analysis by Bardin (2011) is used, through the process of Cidade (2004), composed of three stages, which correspond to the institutionalization flow. The results found show that mandatory popular participation, to ensure transparency in the institutionalization process of the master plan to break with the traditional and interventionist model, can also be used, however, as an eminently political instrument, being thus met with great resistance, disbelief, and lack of participation, which are justified by its effective implementation. Thus, it seeks to contribute to a broader understanding of the master plan and the generation of information to assist public managers in the urban management of Amazonian cities.
