DESENVOLVIMENTO DE APLICATIVO MÓVEL VOLTADO ÀS BOAS PRÁTICAS DE CONTROLE SANITÁRIO DE ALIMENTOS PARA OS CONSEAS

Abstract

The hygienic-sanitary quality of food in the process of human development and social organization is closely related to Food Security. Good Practices are procedures that must be adopted by Food Services in order to ensure the hygienic-sanitary conditions of prepared foods. The subjects of this study were the titular and/or substitute councilors of Consea in the municipality of João Pessoa, who, in August 2021, took on the role of articulating and advising the Municipal Government in the formulation of public policies during the 2021/2023 biennium. The objective of this work was to develop a pilot application to monitor the application of Good Practices within Public Food Services by the National Council for Food and Nutrition Security (Consea) and to sensitize the counselors of the importance of Good Practices to ensure the distribution of safe food to the population. For the development of the application system, a market survey was carried out on applications aimed at ensuring Food Security and the survey of the learning profile of the target audience was carried out. The sensitization process occurred in several stages, and the final stage was carried out in three steps: making the Pilot-Application available for exploratory testing, making a form called Visitation Perception available to the counselors, and conducting in-person training at a Public Food Service with the Pilot-Application developed. The results showed that the preferred learning profile of the target audience was kinesthetic, with 33.7% of the respondents, which is related to people who learn better by doing it rather than seeing or listening to others doing, where the market survey generated practical knowledge for the execution of the project and modeling of the system. The Fast BPM–Consea Pilot Application was developed containing modules with tools for training, consultation of legislation, bibliographic, social connectivity and monitoring for Public Food Services regarding its sanitary quality to be used as a monitoring tool. It has been effectively raised by around 30 % of councillors
