O Plano Diretor: análise das relações de poder entre executivo, legislativo e sociedade no processo de construção de agenda do Plano Diretor do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The Rio de Janeiro Master Plan has been debated since 2019 and had an expected completion date by the end of 2022. This has been a relevant instrument for Brazilian Urban Planning, built together with the executive power, legislative power, and society, from public hearings. This thesis sought to analyze how the relationship between the Executive and Legislative powers involving the Master Plan of Rio de Janeiro was developed, to identify which of these spheres of power have the most significant influence on its development. To achieve the proposed objectives, quantitative methods were adopted, with a Social Network Analysis to define the network level, the centrality of the actors, and the degree of intermediation between them. Structured interviews were performed with the Master Plan Special Commission members and other actors who set the commission's agenda. The data analysis was mediated by the GEPHI software, which enabled the study of networks and the construction of the graph. Qualitatively, the minutes of public hearings and Master Plan Committee meetings were analyzed, dialoguing with bibliographic and documentary sources. It was possible to verify that the Executive Power presented greater control over the themes of the Master Plan, with the Secretary of Urban Planning being the central actor of the network.
