A participação cidadã, entendida como forma consciente e informada de fazer parte de uma comunidade e contribuir efetivamente para a definição das respostas necessárias, através das próprias ações ou da exigência de transparência relativamente às políticas implementadas, constituiu a base deste estudo. Apresentamos o enquadramento da participação cidadã, relacionado com o desenvolvimento social local, numa perspetiva de governança, como uma forma de cooperação para atingir o Bem-Estar.
Procurámos, através de um estudo de caso do Programa Rede Social (PRS) no território da Lezíria do Tejo, caracterizar e analisar como é prevista e implementada a participação dos cidadãos, com a identificação de práticas e dinâmicas desenvolvidas, assim como dos aspetos que facilitam ou condicionam esta participação. Para esse efeito, procedeu-se a um estudo de natureza mista, em três etapas: aferição de compromissos formais, através de análise documental dos documentos estratégicos do PRS; análise da perspetiva dos técnicos das Redes Sociais, através de três focus groups; e análise da experiência e perspetiva dos cidadãos através de um inquérito por questionário.
Considerando os resultados obtidos, que remetem para um baixo nível de participação da população, e muito reduzida promoção da participação por parte das Redes Sociais e da administração local, apresentam-se recomendações, no sentido de contribuir para o envolvimento de todos os atores locais na reflexão sobre a importância da participação da população em todo o processo do planeamento estratégico da Rede
Social, dado que esta medida de política social tem potencial para o incremento da eficácia e eficiência na intervenção social local.
Citizen participation, conceived as a conscious and informed way of being part of a community and able to contribute effectively to the definition of the necessary responses, through one's own actions or by demanding transparency in the policies implemented, was the basis of this study. We present the framework of citizen participation in relation to local social development, from a governance perspective, as a form of cooperation to achieve well-being. Through a case study of the Social Network Program in Lezíria do Tejo, we sought to characterize and analyze how citizen participation is planned and implemented, by identifying the practices and dynamics developed, as well as aspects that facilitate or constrain participation. To this end, a mixed method study was carried out, based on three stages: assessing formal commitments through document analysis of the strategic documents of the Social Network Program; assessing the perspective of the technical staff involved in these networks, though three focus groups; analyzing the experience and perception of citizens through a survey to the population. In view of the results obtained, which indicate a low level of participation by the population and very little promotion by the social networks and the local administration, recommendations have been made, to contribute to the involvement of all local actors in reflecting on the importance of the participation of the population, in the whole process of strategic planning of the Social Network, since this social policy measure has the potential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of local social intervention.
