A lei de acesso à informação: sua implementação na Universidade Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

The rationale in choosing this theme occurs in one of the needs that the human being has: the information. Under Brazilian law, the right of access to information is specifically addressed in Law No. 12,527 / 2011. The UFPB, being an institution connected to the federal executive branch, is also subject to this Act and uses the Electronic Information Citizen Services (e-SIC) and request tool and providing the information requested by citizens. The study aims to map out the requested information and describe the user profile in the SIC from 2013 to 2014, through the online desk research reports available on the virtual page of e-SIC. The results of this analysis demonstrate an increase in requests for numbers, education being the subject with the highest number of requests. The prevalence of individual, male, with a high level of education, exercising federal public servant profession make up the user profile. It concludes that the lack of knowledge of the majority society on the creation of e-SIC as well as the Access to Information Act prevents further quantitative requests.
