RESUMO Objetivo: este artigo tecnológico apresenta uma técnica empregada na análise de atas de conselhos deliberativos e de suas variáveis para apoiar a reflexão sobre o design institucional de conselhos voltados à governança participativa empoderada. Método: utilizou-se a análise descritiva para apresentar o processo heurístico de criação da técni...

Context 1
... passages were coded ad hoc, and the contents of the codes were reread and reorganized several times, against the backdrop of EPG literature. This taxonomic analysis of the content resulted in quantitative and qualitative indicators of the thematic groups presented in Table 1. ...Context 2
... metadata of interest were then systematized in an electronic spreadsheet consolidated from the document analysis. In this article, we define metadata as those that were not organized into the structure of the minutes as the central message of the meeting reports, such as frequency of meetings, rotation in communities, and number of special meetings (see Table 1), but which are essential for understanding the institutional design of social participation spaces. The binary decomposition technique was applied to translate qualitative metadata (for example, the frequency of the meetings, the rotation in the communities, and the number of special meetings) into quantitative variables. ...Context 3
... Table 5, greater sophistication is noted in the aggregation of information derived from the NVivo qualitative data analysis program, which was possible after several revisions of the codes created in the software, the identification and exclusion of the operationalization of some qualitative data (Table 3), and the nearly exhaustive analysis of the minutes. Finally, all variables were aggregated with their respective concepts, generating Table 1. Figure 1 illustrates the flow of creation for the tables presented in this article. ...Context 4
... operationalization of EPG concepts (i.e., participation, empowerment, and deliberation) for the case study on PEIC's adaptive comanagement was elaborated in two stages: (a) all the data extracted from the DMC minutes were organized among the concepts, supported in the literature and in the definitions presented in the Introduction, and (b) the variables created from the data and according to EPG concepts were listed. Table 1 presents the list of data (metadata, quantitative data, and qualitative data) that were extracted from the minutes and the variables created. The extracted metadata that quantitatively operationalized the concept of participation were: (a) date of the meetings, (b) frequency of the meetings, (c) type of meeting (regular or special), (d) location of the meetings, (e) number of people present, (f ) number of council representatives present at the meeting, (g) number of institutes represented, (h) diversity of institutes represented, (i) number of people from the communities, (j) number of community representatives from the DMC, and (k) presence of families from Marujá at the meeting 6 . ...Context 5
... composition of the data in variables and their approximation regarding the characterization of the concepts were carried out later. It is noted that the metadata in question were the basis for the operationalization of the concept of 'participation' (Table 1). Table 2 presents examples of how the data were organized, indicating just a few sample minutes for the practical purpose of illustration. ...Context 6
... qualitative data listed were aggregated into variables (Table 1) that operationalized the concept of empowerment as follows: (a) empowerment of the social actors who make up the DMC (from the data of: diversity of subjects on the agenda, inclusion of new agendas in the meeting by representatives not from PEIC management, number of issues raised by social actors, diversity of issues raised by community members, and moments in which Caiçara communities were mentioned), (b) empowerment of the communities (based on data from: moments when Caiçara communities expressed their opinions, diversity of issues raised by each community, and diversity of issues raised by community families), and (c) empowered governance (based on data from: formation of commissions in the DMC and diversity of issues raised by social actors). The concept of deliberation comprised: (a) norms and agreements created during the meeting (from the data for: number of deliberations at each meeting, number of agreements and norms -formal and informal -defined at the meeting, and presence of the PEIC director at the meetings), and (b) deliberations on constructions and renovations for the Marujá community (based on the deliberation data per community). ...Context 7
... though Table 1 presents the qualitative data related to each variable of each concept, it is important to emphasize that some of the data found were not apt for operationalization, especially due to flawed structuring of the minutes that favored the inclusion of relevant and systematic information related to practical issues of interest to the management. In addition to this element, other characteristics of the datum made its collection and analysis impossible (Table 3). ...Context 8
... 2 presents the meeting minutes template that was commonly used by PEIC and whose format prevails in many preparations of minutes. It is noted the location of the data transformed into variables for the analysis of the GPE of the PEIC management, described in Table 1. The first step in facilitating the analysis of the minutes is a document analysis by creating an indexed database in which information from the underlying analysis can be entered. ...Context 9
... first step in facilitating the analysis of the minutes is a document analysis by creating an indexed database in which information from the underlying analysis can be entered. As mentioned, the broader format for creation of the council minutes is aimed at obtaining metadata ( Figure 2), such as those pointed out in Table 1 (for example, date and location of the meeting, among other aspects), which already provide information relevant to the identification of the variables of meeting frequency, diversity of social actors, representation, and those that can be indexed as primary variables of the minutes database, to be mobilized quickly with the aim of producing information relevant to the design. ...Context 10
... analysis of the deliberations can be the second step in the organization of the minutes database. Information of this type can be mobilized, comparing the number and quality of meeting agendas and their resolutions (Figure 2, Table 1). It is the analysis of empowerment that requires more analytical and reflective time because it directs the analysis to the development of the discussions presented in the minutes and requires the most active mobilization in the categorical content analysis, as well as the use of qualitative analysis tools (such as NVivo software). ...Context 11
... technique points out ways of systematizing and building a database of the minutes (document analysis) as a first step in data indexing. The next stage would be the systematization of this indexing in a spreadsheet, based on basic metadata (Figure 2, Table 1) aimed at understanding social participation. The analysis of more superficial content of the minutes from defined variables (Table 1) generates information on the deliberative processes, which can be quantified using the binary decomposition technique. ...Context 12

The analysis of more superficial content of the minutes from defined variables (Table 1) generates information on the deliberative processes, which can be quantified using the binary decomposition technique. Only these two concepts, participation and deliberation, can be extracted from the minutes with less analytical effort ( Figure 2). ...Similar publications

Political participation is the hallmark of a democratic setup. Effectiveness of democracy depends on the extent to which equal and effective participation is provided to all its citizens. Women comprise about half of the population in India, this requires proper attention and due share in the political process. Citizens' active participation in pol...
