Análise do grau de espessura da política pública: uma análise comparativa entre as cidades de Campina Grande e João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

The size of a public policy may directly impact the economic development of cities, states and countries. The correct delimitation of this size favors the correct provision of resources and number of services generating efficient results. However failure to identify policy goals and objectives results in inefficient policies. In this situation this research adopting the premise that the cities of Campina Grande and João Pessoa are influential in the local development process, takes as a problem the need to identify targets and objectives, in order to measure the size of policies in these cities. This way the research had as general objective to analyze the size of the public policy to allow the development of efficient public policies. For this, a comparative diagnosis of the cities was carried out and a size model of public policies was applied, which made possible the analysis in both cities. Methodologically, the size of the public policy was defined by the coefficient of homogeneity (dispersion) by neighborhoods in variables of finances, health, education, housing, among others, which were collected and applied in geospatial analysis software. It was observed that Campina Grande and João Pessoa indeed have an influence on the socio-economic dynamics of Paraíba state both of which have 33% of their similarly homogeneous variables, while 67% are similarly heterogeneous, being it possible to apply similarly in both cities with a certain degree of focus, making the policy more efficient in the direction of the objectives outlined
