ABSTRACT
Participation is a process that requires the involvement of the policy makers, managers, technicians and staff of the institutions, and of citizens, as well as intersectoral and interdisciplinary action. To generate transformative changes, an infrastructure that encourages participation and planned action is required, and that recognises all the actors in the process. It takes time and commitment to ensure continuity through the joint production of actions, hence the importance of consolidating participatory projects that continue beyond political changes making public services sustainable. Training, the appropriate use of participation tools and a horizontal policy of delegated power are essential to ensure participation. Surveys, sociograms, flowcharts, health assets mapping, participatory budgets and participatory evaluation matrices are some of the tools that can be chosen, depending on the type of subjects addressed, the time and resources available, the characteristics of the participating population and territory, as well as determining the use that will be made of the information generated for the next phase. Participation tools are useful for citizens and professionals to analyze, understand, debate and decide collectively how to improve living conditions and environments. Over the past decade, social networks in the virtual environment have generated new trends in mass participation, which are self-managed by citizens.

La participación es un proceso que requiere la implicación de responsables de la política, del personal directivo y técnico de las instituciones, y de la ciudadanía, así como de la acción intersectorial e interdisciplinaria. Para generar cambios transformadores es necesaria una infraestructura que favorezca la participación y la acción planificada, reconociendo a todos los actores del proceso. Se precisan tiempo y compromiso para su continuidad a través de la producción conjunta de acciones, y de ahí la importancia de consolidar proyectos participativos que continúen más allá de los cambios políticos para que los servicios públicos sean sostenibles. La formación, el uso adecuado de las herramientas de participación y una política horizontal de poder delegado son imprescindibles para el desarrollo de la participación. Herramientas como sondeos, sociogramas, flujogramas, mapeos de activos para la salud, presupuestos participativos o matrices de evaluación participativa son algunas de las que pueden elegirse, en función del tipo de materias abordadas, el tiempo y los recursos disponibles, las características de la población participante y del territorio, así como del uso que se va a hacer de la información generada para la siguiente fase. Las herramientas de participación son útiles para que la ciudadanía profesionales analicen, comprendan, debatan y decidan colectivamente con el fin de mejorar las condiciones de vida y los entornos. En la última década, las redes sociales en el entorno virtual han generado nuevas tendencias de participación masiva y autogestionada por la ciudadanía

In the context of current globalization, important modifications of the international relations and of the ideological, technical, and cultural components in the administration of the States are expressed by non-legitimate public action principles which account for social iniquity and the weakening of the role of the State. Regardless of its political origin or ideological orientation, the economic development plans and programs exhibit a prevailing uniformity. The challenge today implies mobilizing in local capacities with the objective of changing the quality of public action through the adoption of new development strategies able to integrate new social dimensions with other mechanisms of action. One of them, the intersectoral action, demands the structural revision of the administrative and cultural frontiers of the public and private social agents as a means of making a new tentative sociopolitical arrangement. The complexity of politics, projects and programs is taken as a methodological landmark based on the following theoretical presuppositions: integrality, social networks, and sociopraxis, constructing a participative process of knowledge to a political analysis in search of a change in the approach of the sociopolitical processes, starting from local social networks.

No contexto da globalização atual, importantes modificações das relações internacionais e dos componentes ideológicos, técnicos e culturais na administração dos Estados se expressam na falta de legitimidade de princípios da ação pública com consequente emergência do problema da iniquidade social e o debilitamento do papel do Estado. Os planos e programas de desenvolvimento, independente de sua origem política ou orientação ideológica, apresentam uma uniformidade imperante e o desafio atual implica a mobilização de competências locais, tendo como objetivo a mudança na qualidade da ação pública, mediante novas estratégias de desenvolvimento que integrem as novas dimensões sociais e outros dispositivos de ação. Um destes, a ação intersetorial, demanda uma revisão estrutural da fronteira administrativa e cultural dos agentes sociais, públicos e privados, como ensaio de um novo conserto sociopolítico. Toma como marco metodológico a complexidade das políticas, projetos e programas e os referenciais teóricos e metodológicos: integralidade, redes sociais e a sociopráxis, construindo um processo participativo de conhecimento para uma análise de políticas na busca de uma mudança na abordagem dos processos sociopolíticos a partir das redes locais, através de uma investigação de segunda ordem.
