Federal University of Bahia

The Royal College of Bahia, or the Colégio do Terreiro de Jesus, as it was better known, was founded by the Jesuits in the sixteenth century and was the institute that gave origin to the Federal University of Bahia.

The School of Surgery of Bahia, founded in 1808, subsequently gave rise to the School of Medicine, built on the same site. The School of Pharmacy was founded in 1832 and the School of Dentistry in 1864.

The nucleus of the future Federal University of Bahia was being gradually formed with the addition of the following institutions: the School of Fine Art in 1877, the Law School in 1891, the Polytechnic School in 1896, the School of Economics in 1905 and the School of Philosophy, Science and Letters in 1941. In 1946, these units were finally linked to form the Federal University of Bahia. Faculty of Architecture was founded in the 50's

Today, the Federal University of Bahia had 55 different undergraduate courses and 58 post-graduate courses at masters and doctorate level, as well as research.

internet, interactivity and public participation

Lead by PRODEB, state company with UFBA cooperation interdisciplinar team

IT, Comunication, Planning, GIS, webdesign... interdisciplinar scope

Information architecture, usability, design, GIS, planning...

goal – define guidelines for development projects web sites that encourage public participation through expansion of dialogue between government and citizens about actions on the territory




internet, interactivity and public participation

tasks - february/june literature review workshops – Internet and Interactivity,

Interactivity and Participation support

CNPq e FAPESB – agencies that funding research next tasks

evaluate public administration sites (local and federal level)

elaborate a guide launch a experimental web site




Democracy and Internet

3 technical inovation

no-intermediationcomunication less centralized, without intermediary agents

multimidiaseveral languages and midias at the same comunication action

controldesign, modification, monitoring the pathways and actions of users




Democracy and Internet

3 democratic requirements to State digital interface

Publicityto become the State more visible and transparent to citizens

Responsivenessto become the State more dialogical with citizens

Porosityto become the State more susceptible to public opinion




Publicity

web sites must have support for: news reports institucional texts didatic texts official documents financial data general public information

visibility and transparency




Responsiveness

means that the citizen had an input directed to obtain a specific response, and the State produced an output that attempts to respond to this demand

online feed back to public services channels to respond and give information

e-mails, e-forms ... chats e-forum to public discussion with official

responsible




Porositydemocracy needs to incorporate popular

aspiration into political decisionsome mechanism can be oriented to

capture views as subsidy to decision-makink policy

others count opinions and turn it into decision (elections, referenda) on-line surveys consultation about public issues on-line voting channels to collect views of citizens




Democracy and Internetthese 3 requirements define some roles that on-

line communication from public administration should play in order to improve democratical system

It involves historical and important issues about political theory like a more transparent, accountable, dialogical and plural State, as well as sensible to public opinion

Each one of the democratic requirements can occur through 5 levels of communicative relationships: (1) utilitarian, (2) informative, (3) instructive, (4) argumentative and (5) imperative levels




3 requirements x 5 levels of communicative relationship

utilitarian communication that is a end in itself, instrumental

nature

informative information = message

instructive didatic approach, clarification, elucidation

argumentative communication = justification

imperative communication = order




Publicity

communication levels communication flow objects examples

utilitarian output search engines, sitemap, index, portal info, etc

informative outputtexts as news, propaganda, advertising, etc

instructive outputinstitutional texts, info about institution, etc

argumentative outputreports, dossier, financial explanation, full documents, projects, etc




Responsiveness


utilitarian input/output document emission, on-line payments, etc

informative input/outpute-mail tools, forms sending questions, or asking for answer, etc

instructive input/outputon-line foruns or chats to clarify projects or actions, etc

argumentative input/outputon-line foruns, discussion lists or tools alike that have deliberative aspect, etc




Porosity


utilitarian input/outputtools for collection of preference profiles, monitoring devices etc

informative input/outputpublic opinion polling, questionnaires, etc

instructive input/outputon-line forms designed to collect textual opinion of citizens about project, action...

argumentative input/outputon-line foruns, discussion lists or tools alike that have deliberative aspect, etc




Porosity


argumentative input/output

on-line forms or tools designed to collect structured propositions that will be considered in political decision process

imperative input/outputvote, referendum mediated by a communication tool, etc




3 requirements x 5 levels of communicative relationship

this crossing is useful to examine web sites, integrating normative perspective with a systemic analysis

the study would allow us to establish parameters of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of web sites.
