RESUMO

This thesis aims to stress emphasis on a process of participation in Belém between 1997 and 2004, from the perspective of building a collective project on the use of land in this city. This process was initiated in 1997, through the Participative Budget and had its extension from 2001 to a process called City Congress. The expansion will be performed on aspects such as a shift of the exclusivity emphasis of the budget debate, by means of triggering the planning of a matrix model supported by intersectional articulated themes, and the expansion of the representations of various social groups, which constitutes a element of innovation in comparison with the previous process. We will then conduct a review of its implementation, as an event comprised in the system of planning and drafting a plan to Belém, as the building process of a democratic practice in order to identify to what extent this experience of collective construction, as a political instrument, contributed to a nonhegemonic territory. Understanding this process led us to demonstrate the strategy of the planning adopted by the government, in order to respond on the one hand, to popular demands, and on the other, the implementation of a process that is not restricted to the budget issue. In this sense, about 800 000 participations registered along the eight years of this experience, the result of a process of mobilizing the constitutive functional uses of places under different criteria, such as political-administrative regions and social groups, and process choices by means of direct elections of directors to form representative bodies such as District Councils and the City Council. It is shown, by the spatial mapping distribution of participants and implementation of policies throughout the city, which led us to deem the nonconclusiveness of the possibilities of this experience, due to its constitution as an intentional change of the place.
