Master Thesis Associação de Trabalhadores Rurais Nova Esperança e estratégias da reorganização coletiva(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2016-07-28) Silva Júnior, Ramiro Teixeira da; Souza, Cimone Rozendo de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4903-0839; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8227598190372706; https://orcid.org/0009-0007-8038-9261; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4266989544543070; Costa, Fernando Bastos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2320020734073779; Fernandes, Melquisedeque de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8668443392094556; Forbeloni, Jacimara Villar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7452281818241801The Territory of Mato Grande is characterized as a low dynamic region. While concentrating a large number of projects of agrarian reform settlements, the levels of development achieved by them were not sufficient to establish a new dynamic. In addition, the representative organizations of this segment are generally fragile and many have great difficulty accessing public policy. However, amidst this scenario, the New Hope Association, located in the settlement Rosario in Ceará Mirim, has excelled in the territory by being able to access a set of public policies, especially those aimed at marketing with developments in various aspects of reproduction of the families involved. In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the factors which made this association develop its agency capacity particularly as regards access to public policies. From the reconstruction of the trajectory of this association the research seeks to highlight the links that are established between the internal conditions of the organization and the broader political context, building a network capable of supporting different projects. We seek to show how the strategies of action of this association allowed a restructuring in their collective organization. The research demonstrates the important role played by an association of groups that has the capacity to establish networks of cooperation at various levels of the organization. This type of agency translates the efforts of association groups for structuring scenarios that may reconfigure the performance of these segments in rural areas, as constant participation in New Hope in projects for agricultural production in the settlements.Doctoral Thesis Políticas públicas, inovação tecnológica e engajamento social: comparando estratégias de acessibilidade urbana em Seattle/EUA e Natal/RN(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-08-15) Maia, Rute Rocha; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1101-6086; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7004159440421496; Lopes Júnior, Orivaldo Pimentel; Câmara, Richardson Leonardi Moura da; Warren, Jonathan Frederick; Lima, Renata Mayara Moreira deThe construction of democratic cities aims to promote equal access to goods, services, and urban environments for all citizens. In this regard, accessibility emerges as an indispensable element in ensuring that citizens with disabilities access the right to the city. In this dissertation, we conduct a comparative analysis of the strategies used to advance urban accessibility in Seattle, United States, and Natal, Brazil. This comparison allowed us to identify patterns, shortcomings, and opportunities for improvement in each city, contributing to a deeper understanding of urban accessibility strategies in different contexts. We start from the premise that promoting accessibility is a global challenge, but each city tackles this task according to strategies relevant to its geographical, political, economic, and social contexts. We collected data through semi-structured interviews with policymakers, researchers, and accessibility advocates in both cities. Also, through document analysis, participant observation in workshops and study groups on technological innovation, and focus groups with families of people with disabilities and accessibility researchers. This study concluded that both cities have robust legislation on the subject and well-defined public policies, notwithstanding most policies are enforced through judicial means. Additionally, we found accessibility projects for leisure, such as the Seattle Children’s Playgarden and Natal Praia Inclusiva in each city, and the employment of storytelling techniques in both cities as a strategy for social engagement. Finally, we noticed that technological initiatives for urban accessibility in Natal are still in their early stages, while in Seattle, projects like AccessMap and Project Sidewalk demonstrate significant potential to advance the debates and practices of urban accessibility in different cities around the world.Doctoral Thesis Políticas públicas do poder judiciário: uma avaliação dos procedimentos avaliatórios de programas de acesso à justiça do Tribunal de Justiça do Rio Grande do Norte(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-08-26) Costa, Daniel Freire Oliveira da; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3780015368878635; Morais, Carlos Eduardo Freitas; Alves, Fernando Antonio da Silva; Coelho, Maria Ivonete Soares; Pimenta, Melissa Rafaela CostaThis research approached the evaluation of public policy evaluation procedures developed by the Court of Justice of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (TJRN), more specifically thosed aimed at promoting access to justice. Its objective was to verify at what level of quality the Potiguar Court, between 2020 and 2024, evaluated procedures regarding the Justiça na Praça and Justiça e Escola programs. To achieve this, the study was organized into two dimensions: a theoretical and an empirical one. In the first, issues of the modern State, democracy, the role of the Judiciary and the conceptions of public policies, evaluation and meta-evaluation of public policies were addressed. In the second, field research was conducted to evaluate the evaluation procedures of the programs regarding access to justice at TJRN, based on the articulation of a qualitative and quantitative approach, achieved through the development of a specific evaluation method, created based on the analytical models developed by Davidson (2005) and Draibe (1997). In the end, it was possible to conclude that the evaluation procedures of Justiça na Praça and Justiça e Escola are performed with a reasonable level of quality, with aspects related to usefulness, dissemination, conduct and credibility that can be improved.Doctoral Thesis A construção da agenda governamental local de políticas públicas de saúde: atores e interações nos municípios do Médio-Piranhas no Estado da Paraíba (2019-2021)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2023-02-15) Santos, Allison Haley dos; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1724904523459447; Oliveira, Ângelo Giuseppe Roncalli da Costa; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5311-697X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0023445563721084; Paiva, Irene Alves de; Oliveira, Luan Gomes dos Santos de; Carneiro, Vanderson GonçalvesStudies on public policies produce research that seeks to analyze each of the cycles – formulation, implementation and evaluation – in order to describe and try to explain how processes occur, how actors relate, what elements affect decision-making, what resources are used and how institutions condition results. One of the policy analysis models focuses on the political-administrative processes of defining the governmental agenda, a theoretical option that is dedicated to tracking the levels of attention that governments pay to certain issues during a certain period of time, in a certain spatial area. One of the models applied in the analysis of public policies is that of multiple flows, which has its origin in the case study on the construction of the governmental agenda in the United States of America. However, when we verified gaps in the application of models to analyze how the construction of the local government agenda occurs, in municipalities of a certain territory, we were motivated to verify if it is possible and in what way the model of the multiple flows of Kingdon can be applied in scope Brazilian municipal government, focusing on the institutional dimension and the interaction between actors as categories of analysis. Specifically, we sought to describe and understand which internal and external factors influence the insertion of a public problem in the governmental agenda of public health policies at the local level, highlighting how the actors interact and how ideas are inserted in the processes. The work was carried out through a qualitative approach, through bibliographic review, documental research, secondary data collection (federal, state and municipal legislation; governmental database) and field research with visits to the researched municipalities for knowledge of local realities and for through semi-structured interviews. The presented results demonstrate that the model of multiple flows contains elements that are present in the dynamics of construction of the local health agenda in the Municipalities of the Middle Piranhas, however, the processes occur fundamentally influenced by the institutional framework based on the federalism of cooperation existing in Brazil, characterizing it is the incorporation of issues defined at the federal level by subnational entities.Doctoral Thesis Santos e caboclos: um estudo das diretrizes de salvaguarda dos bens patrimoniais imateriais avaliação a partir da Festa de Sant'Ana e o do Maracatu de Baque Solto(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-10-27) Brito, Danielle Cristina Vasconcelos de; Assunção, Luiz Carvalho de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0718-0492; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6232503538224768; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0604708251165393; Santana, Gilmar; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7048-5192; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2957801541347646; Castro, Marcia da Silva Pereira; Pereira, Maria das Graças Cavalcanti; Alves, Maria Lucia BastosThe elaboration and implementation of a safeguard plan set a new relation between social segments and the State, through this management instrument, it is intended to contribute to the autonomy of the holders in the management of their patrimony, interinstitutional articulation in favour of the registered assets and cultural sustainability. Thus, this thesis proposes to evaluate the Safeguard guidelines for the implementation of the Safeguard plans, of two assets registered as Cultural Heritage of Brazil, Festa de Sant’Ana (RN) and Maracatu de Baque Solto (PE) to verify if the plans addressed preservation, transmission and sustainability as essentials conditions for safeguarding said assets, provoking the matter of the research problem, as to how the Festa de Sant’Ana, the Maracatu Cambinda Brasileira and the State are implementing actions of the safeguard plan for the survival of the asset, and if they have warranty of such politic working. The methodological procedures used were: bibliographic, documentary and field research, with semi structured interviews, direct and participant observation. The conceptual framework adopted enabled the combination of multiple theoretical contributions, allowing the intertwining between theory and practice. It is a qualitative approach, designed as documentary study, to evaluate the safeguard plans guidelines of these two registered assets. We followed techniques of public policy evaluations, as in Weiss (1978), Stake (1999), Draibe (2001), Silva (2001), among others. As the studies of cultural policies evaluation in Brazil are recent, a few other authors focused on this topic were brought, such as Albino Rubim (2008) e Lia Calabre (2019). Given the complexity of our topic, other domain of knowledges were called upon to support the evaluation, such as the theoretical-methodological contributions of Social Sciences, with reflections on various categories such as culture, tradition, memory and immaterial patrimony, all funded by the discussion of several authors. The research is justified by its main purpose of contributing for the diffusion and preservation of cultural and immaterial heritage of RN and PE, deriving knowledge to next generations, and assuming the pretension of now intervering in the perceptions of the implementers of this preservationist policy in a particular reality, as the one focused in this research.Doctoral Thesis O Programa de Arranjos Produtivos Locais de Alagoas (PAPL): avaliação da implementação de ações nos arranjos delta do São Francisco e caminhos do São Francisco (2013-2016)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-04-29) Santos, Cleidijane Siqueira; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4666471934028534; Silva, Gilcileide Rodrigues da; Albuquerque, José de Lima; Freitas, Carlos Eduardo; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9395-430X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0691708864631113; Araújo, DouglasThe importance attributed to Local Arrangement Production (APL) as a possible mechanism for promoting development led the federal government and several state governments to encourage this type of economic conglomerate in Brazil, in the early 2000s, guiding the elaboration of public policies. In the Alagoas state, one of the recipients, in 2004, the Local Productive Arrangements Program (PAPL) was created, which supported arrangement production in many places. As a result of this action, two production arrangements in the Baixo São Francisco region received support, namely: the fish farming APL “Delta do São Francisco”; and the tourism APL “Caminhos do São Francisco”. The objective of this research, considering the importance of these arrangements, was to evaluate the degrees of effectiveness of the actions directed to the general coordination of the PAPL, as well as the actions of institutional strengthening of the actors as the planning, the monitoring and the evaluation of the results in the Delta do São Francisco and Caminhos do São Francisco APLs in the Lower São Francisco planning region of Alagoas, from 2013 to 2016, in order to identify whether this policy actually reached people in the sense of promoting changes in the target population. Therefore, the following specific objectives were established: to understand the process of implementation and the performance of the PAPL; to assess the degrees of effectiveness in the actions aimed at the general coordination of the program, in the institutional articulation of actors and planning actions, with the monitoring and evaluation of the results of the arrangements; and verify the results of these actions in the productive arrangements of fish farming and tourism in the region in question. The methodological process used to carry out the research objectives included a literature review; the elaboration of a matrix to evaluate the effectiveness of the PAPL; documentary research; and a collection of primary data, carried out through field research in the municipalities of the researched region. The results showed that the actions evaluated were effective because they were implemented, but they did not promoted a transformation in the reality of PAPL benefited in the municipalities surveyed, they were not very effective.Master Thesis Direito à cidade e mobilidade urbana: uma avaliação de implementação da política nacional de mobilidade urbana (Lei Nº 12.587/12) no município de Mossoró-RN(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-04-29) Dantas, Denner Morais; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2183209601652038; Rodrigues, João Freire; Clementino, Maria do Livramento Miranda; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8998937158872406Urban mobility is today one of the main concerns of public power with regard to urban planning in contemporary cities and metropolises. The recurrence of environmental, economic and public health impacts related to air pollution, traffic jams and accidents, in addition to the inequity in the distribution and use of transport modes and services by the population, has forced the government to seek, propose and apply solutions that presuppose new forms of perception, planning and intervention aligned with environmental sustainability and more democratic forms of occupation and use of urban space. With the aim of improving the mobility conditions of people in cities, reinforcing criteria of equity, security, accessibility and sustainability, the National Policy for Urban Mobility - NPUM (Law Nº 12.587/12) delegates to the Municipalities the task of plan and execute the Urban Mobility Policy, prioritizing collective public transport and non-motorized modes of locomotion, such as walking and cycling. Faced with this, the research "Right to the city and urban mobility: an evaluation of the implementation of the National Urban Mobility Policy (Law No. 12,587/12) in the Municipality of MossoróRN" had as its main objective to evaluate the implementation of the guidelines of the PNMU in Mossoró between the years 2012 -date of enactment of the Law- and 2021, based on four of the main guidelines expressed in the Law. They are: (1) on the planning, evaluation and implementation of the PNMU in the municipality; (2) regarding the training of people and institutions related to mobility; (3) regarding the provision of public transportation; and (4) in terms of integrated infrastructure focused on collective and non-motorized modes of locomotion. To achieve the proposed objective, bibliographic review procedures were used based on relational themes, such as “urban mobility”, “public policies” and “public policy evaluation”; document analysis of Law nº 12.587/12, highlighting the attributions of the Municipalities; comparison between the PNMU and the urban mobility policy instituted in Mossoró; and interviews with municipal public managers (Executive Director of portfolio, legislative technician and councilors).The results of this research point to the inadequacy of the current mobility conditions in Mossoró, which in addition to not having developed and implemented its mobility plan in accordance with national guidelines, presents a series of technical, legislative, infrastructure insufficiencies and priorities.Master Thesis Feminismo e autonomia econômica: uma avaliação da ATER Mulheres no município de Currais Novos/RN - 2015/2017(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-12-29) Araújo, Rayssa Aline Batista de; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2290191425955602; Freire, Maira Samara de Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9738549935676731; Bezerra, Maria da Conceição Dantas Moura; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2136225337051619The quest for women's economic autonomy is based on the feminist demand for inclusion in economic and social practices. In this context, organized women's movements, since 2003, have won the implementation of a set of public policies in order to promote development for rural women. Among these achievements is ATER (Technical Assistance and Rural Extension), which is a policy of assistance rural producers to strengthen production, associativism and cooperativism. This work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ATER program for women in the city of Currais Novos / RN from 2015 to 2017. More specifically, we propose to: investigate whether the program has contributed to women's autonomy, identify if economic changes and the perception of women's social role in the lives of beneficiaries have occurred since participating in the program; and finally, to investigate the socialization of domestic work and care within the families of the benefited women. The conceptual debate will be referenced mainly in feminist theorists Federici (2019), Hirata (2007), Kergoat (2007), Brumer (2004) and Carrasco (2018) in the approach of women's economic autonomy, sexual division of labor and feminist economics dialoguing with the concept of development as the freedom by Amartya Sen (2000). As for the research instruments for data collection, we used a semi-structured interview script and the focus group interview, such instruments allowed us to bring the assessment of the various actors and social agents directly involved in the effectuation of ATER. It became evident that the policy brought significant results to the women benefited; the increase in the production and in the financial autonomy provided the expansion of individual and collective capacities.Master Thesis O Centro Público de Emprego, Trabalho e Renda de Natal: uma avaliação de implementação (2010/2020)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-06-16) Farias, Francisco Alberto Silva de; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2830083026829821; Freitas, Carlos Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0691708864631113; Silva, Maria Aparecida Ramos da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5650479904640058This work evaluated the implementation of the Public Employment, Work, and Income Center located in Natal (RN). In this study, we carry out a theoretical and methodological debate with a literature review on the Public System of Employment, Work, and Income (SPETR) in Brazil, public policies on Employment, Work and Income, and others. This research had as general objective an evaluation of the implementation of the Public Employment, Work and Income Center of Natal (CPETRN) and as specific objectives: to characterize the elements that integrate the program, the implementation processes, and subprocesses; also identify the perception of Managers on the implementation process of the services offered and the driving and inhibiting elements of the implementation process, focusing on the period from 2010 to 2020, with the approach on the public system of employment and income, related to unemployment and changes in the labor market and the indicators of this local social order in interface with public policies and government actions. The research is part of the qualitative approach, whose methodological process consisted of bibliographic review, document analysis, and conducting semi-structured interviews with the institution's managers. The results of this research reveal that the implementation process was partially executed.Doctoral Thesis Avaliação do processo de implementação da Política Nacional de Segurança Pública no Rio Grande do Norte: 2011-2018(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-02-02) Pimenta, Melissa Rafaela Costa; Costa, João Bosco Araújo da; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4418972852075556; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5330126597228009; Freitas, Carlos Eduardo; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0691708864631113; Pereira Júnior, Marcus Vinicius; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0495048405086469; Coelho, Maria Ivonete Soares; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5288462869060471; Silva, Vanderlan Francisco da; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0640011315166109In Brazil, the National Public Security Secretariat is the body responsible for preparing the National Public Security Policy (PNSP) and providing resources for the security secretariats of the states of the federation to implement it. The theme of this research is the implementation of the Public Security Policy in Rio Grande do Norte (RN). The general objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PNSP implementation of RN, between the years 2011 to 2018. Specifically, a) the PNSP formulation was evaluated in the state, through decrees, ordinances etc., and b) the actions were evaluated undertaken under SESED's actions. Data analysis was performed using the subprocess methodology developed by Draibe (2001). The theoretical support of Bayley and Skolnick (2006) was also used, where the distinction between traditional and innovative activities, and the assumptions about evaluation dealt with by Pressman and Wildavsky (1998), which present a diversity of issues regarding the importance of the policy implementation process nationals in specific locations. As a result of SESED's actions, we evaluate a predominance of core activities that are of secondary importance in the evaluation of the process, and it was concluded that the PNSP implementation process is characterized by a top down concept. With that, the hypothesis of the thesis was confirmed, verifying that there is an overlap of the national policy compared to the state policy.
