Atuação da comunidade local nas políticas públicas de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e ambiental.

Abstract

Social participation in public policy has become one of the organizing principles in the face of failures in its planning for local development. We evaluated the performance of local community in the political consolidation process for socio-economic development and ensuring environmental standards in Crispim beaches (Marapanim), Atalaia (Salinópolis) and Ajuruteua (Bragança), in the state of Pará, Brazil trough interviews with members of the federal, state, municipal, community and professional associations. The results demonstrate that the Orla Project is the main public policy for socio-economic development and to maintain environmental standards. Community mobilization is the main result of this action. The conflict and differences of interest hampers the performance of the community themselves. It was concluded that the absence of social participation causes misdirection of public policy
