Nível de transparência pública dos municípios da região Centro-Sul do estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

The present research, using the Municipal Public Transparency Index (ITPM) from the TCE-PR manual, aims to analyze and calculate the level of access to public transparency information of the city governments in the Central-South region of the state of Mato Grosso. The analysis is based on Law No. 12.527/2011, which regulates access to information related to public transparency. The population of the CentralSouth region of Mato Grosso is composed of seventeen municipalities, of which only eight municipalities, as provided by the law, are required to disclose information related to budget, planning, and execution of public policies that use financial resources. This study examines the ease with which citizens can access information through the municipality's own website, which is publicly available on the Internet. The ITPM form used in this research consists of one hundred and thirty-two questions taken from the evaluation criteria manual of the Court of Accounts of the State of Paraná. The data collection was conducted on random days in the first quarter of the year 2023 and resulted in: Alto Paraguai 72%; Cáceres 79%; Chapada dos Guimarães 65%; Cuiabá 90%; Nossa Senhora do Livramento 83%; Poconé 61%; Rosário Oeste 44%; Santo Antônio do Leverger 57%.
