| Summary: | The subject of this article is democracy and the administrative decentralization process in the
area of Florianopolis, with emphasis to Florianópolis and São José, an adjacent city. In
January of 2003, the State Government of Santa Catarina, under the management of Luiz
Henrique da Silveira (PMDB), started implementing a new administrative reform with focus
on decentralization. A big structural and legislative change has been happening since then
with new institutions, such as the Regional Development Councils and the Regional
Development Divisions. The research aimed at finding out if there are local government
structures in good conditions to support the decentralization process, that is, to find out
which City Councils are working and what their main administrative, social and political
characteristics are. The City Councils represent the possibility of participative democracy
expansion and qualification, expressing civic culture (social capital). The research was
qualitative, descriptive and exploratory, as well as interpretative. The study showed, among
other things, that there is a lack of information about City Councils among the government
organs in the region, and not only among civil society organs. The cities of Florianópolis and
São José are the only exceptions. |
