Theoretical Framework: The study falls within the line of research aimed at analyzing public policies, with a focus on urban mobility, contributing to the planning and sustainable development of the city of Iturama. Methodology: In order to achieve the proposed objective, the SUMI tool adapted to the context of small cities was used, consisting of a hierarchical structure of 9 domains, 30 themes and 57 indicators. The domains represent the main axes of sustainable urban mobility, the themes are branches of each axis and, finally, the indicators are the evaluation tools used to measure the main aspects of each theme. Results: The application of the SUMI made it possible to measure 44 themes, 27 indicators and all 9 domains, resulting in a Global Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUMIg) of 0.252 for Iturama. In addition to the SUMIg, the domains that had the greatest impact on the city's urban mobility were identified, both positively (Transport Infrastructure, Accessibility and Political Aspects) and negatively (Urban Transport System, Environmental Aspects and Social Aspects). The results indicate that, although the municipal administration has made major investments in the area, these efforts have mostly focused on improving travel by individual motorized transport, revealing that the city's scenario is still far from the ideal model of sustainable mobility. Originality/Relevance: Actions aimed at improving urban mobility in Iturama have been implemented without proper planning and are still based on an outdated model that prioritizes individual motorized transport. In this context, the research reinforces the importance of adopting more sustainable and integrated strategies for urban planning. Practical contributions: The study presents potential impacts in the societal area, by offering recommendations for directing public policies aimed at sustainable urban mobility, in order to contribute to improving the quality of life of the population of Iturama.

Resistance to consensus in Public Administration, marked by a bureaucratic and inflexible model, has been the subject of several discussions in the literature. However, the evolution of Public Administration towards a managerial model, focused on public governance and administrative efficiency, requires a more dialogical and participatory approach in state actions, aiming to ensure a space for dialogue and democratic legitimization of decisions that affect society, promoting consensus as a guide for the resolution of tax disputes. In this context, we will analyze tax settlements as an instrument of consensual action that has the potential to pacify conflicts, legitimize taxation and renew citizen consent, contributing to tax collection efficiency and reducing litigation, since the litigation crisis, which overburdens the Judiciary, reveals the ineffectiveness of the traditional model of tax administration (impositive and adversarial). In this scenario, the adoption of new practices to improve tax collection and resolve tax disputes is essential, with tax settlements emerging as an instrumental measure of consensus that provides a space for dialogue and interaction between the Tax Administration and the taxpayer. The investigation, therefore, focuses on tax settlements as a mechanism to reduce litigation and increase tax collection efficiency, within a new environment of consensus in Public Administration.

Approximately 95% of the population aged 9 to 17 are internet users in the country. As the use of online technology by Brazilian children and adolescents increases, it becomes essential to recognize, prevent, and address the risks and potential harms these individuals may face in this environment. In this context, this study aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a police program to prevent sexual violence against children and adolescents in virtual environments. Through integrative literature review, analysis of practical cases and adaptation of pre-existing preventive methodologies, the Guardians of Childhood program was created. Promoted by federal police officers, the initiative targets students aged 11 to 17, as well as their parents and teachers. The program was later expanded to also meet the demand of agents working in the child and adolescent protection network. The module for children and adolescents was divided into 5 parts. The first addresses the relationship between social media, digital environments, and mental health and well-being; the second explores concepts and practices regarding internet safety and privacy; the third discusses empathy online, relating it to issues such as bullying and cyberbullying; the fourth focuses on combating misinformation; and the final part concerns safe online relationships, covering topics such as grooming, sextortion, and the unauthorized sharing (leakage) of intimate videos and images. The family module aims to raise awareness among caregivers about the investigated problem and encourage them to adopt an active approach with their children, emphasizing dialogue, monitoring, boundary-setting, and building trust. The teacher’s module, in turn, seeks to motivate educators to engage in actions based on three pillars: identification, support, and non-omission. Created in 2024, the Guardians of Childhood program has already delivered 135 training sessions: 89 for children and adolescents, 18 for family members, 16 for teachers, and 12 for other audiences (protection network agents). Regarding the total number of people reached, the program has served 4.222 students, 817 family members, 616 teachers, and 311 protection network agents (including guardianship counselors, managers, educational assistants, psychologists, social workers, among others). In 13% of the training sessions, a crime report was made by a participant after the session, with five cases involving spontaneous disclosure by the victim. Throughout the training sessions, efforts were made to assess the perceptions of the target audience to identify how effective the program was. Thus, a sample of 20 students was subjected to a semistructured questionnaire, with responses formatted on a Likert scale, which were analyzed using the Chi-square statistical test, both before and after the training. Family members (n = 7) and teachers (n = 12) were interviewed, and their responses were processed through Content Analysis. It was concluded that the sample of students submitted to the program presented results that demonstrated an improvement in skills related to: verifying whether information found on the network is correct; reacting to hate speech on the internet in a responsible manner; reporting offensive content practiced against children or adolescents; seeking help channels in situations involving online violence; acting correctly if offensive content was posted publicly on the internet; knowing what to do in the face of online threats, unauthorized use of personal information on the Internet, especially for committing illegal acts, and how to act in the face of unauthorized disclosure of intimate content. Furthermore, after the training, the sample showed evidence that screen time was reduced. Family members, in turn, provided reports that are consistent with the points developed during the training, and also presented positive perceptions regarding the experience. Finally, teachers considered that the training proposed by the program was effective in improving their understanding and ability to deal with cases of sexual violence against children and adolescents. At the end of this dissertation, there is a Technical-Technological Product, in the format of a Technical Report, which summarizes the information presented throughout this study.

In this scenario, the legislation that deals with public procurement and contracting, through bidding, has evolved until culminating in the emergence of important figures in the management of contract planning and execution: inspectors and managers, who are responsible for overseeing service contracts taken on, in relation to the support activity. These actors, endowed with great responsibility and importance in contract management, are sometimes unassisted in training and support tools to fulfill their mission. Furthermore, the activity of inspection is a convergence point between Administrative Law and Administration, which makes it relevant, but still lacking in studies. In view of the above, this research aims to identify the existence of control or support instruments to assist in the inspection of continuous services with exclusive dedication labor and to map possible deficiencies; Subsequently, the aim is to build a support tool to mitigate such deficiencies. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that was carried out identified a lack of training for these actors and deficiencies related to the execution of the inspection activity itself; sparse studies on tools to assist inspectors' activities; and mapped requirements for the construction of an inspection method, as a support tool. This method was structured through Business Intelligence, and consists of a set of spreadsheets duly parameterized for interactive visualization through dashboards. By using this method, the functions of the technical inspector and the administrative inspector are segregated and highlighted; contractual deviations are identified in an uncomplicated manner; and the information is organized as a database for future hiring. Finally, the test of the support tool identified benefits in its use; mapped difficulties in its use; and envisioned future improvements.
