Abstract:
Social participation in urban planning is a right of citizenship and is essential for the construction and implementation of effective public policies. In Brazil, the construction of municipal, regional, state, and federal management plans is among the main urban planning strategies, dealing with different socio-environmental topics, such as waste management, management of biodiversity and forest resources, sanitation, land use and occupation, risk management, sustainable development, and environmental education. For these plans to be built in alignment with the population’s desires regarding the topics of interest, it is necessary to ensure that their construction involves social participation, considering individual and collective contributions in establishing the actions and goals that will guide the advancement of these topics over a given period. Popular participation in the construction of management plans in Brazil is generally intended through workshops, public hearings, and public consultations, which, mainly at the municipal level, reach a small number of participants, compared to the total population of the municipality, attracting mainly people who are already engaged in that particular subject. In this problem-solving workshop, the strategies applied to involve the community in the construction of the Atlantic Forest Plan, Environmental Education Plan, and Economic Sustainable Development Plan in municipalities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, will be presented. Based on the results, the objective is to discuss with participants how to reach individuals and communities and encourage participation in municipal planning discussion environments, to ensure that the population’s opinions and desires are included in these instruments. Furthermore, the aim is to discuss strategies so that municipal plans can be used as social instruments for monitoring the implementation of municipal public policies.
