“…253-255) documents that volunteer participation is associated positively and significantly with different types of social participation, such as neighborhood interaction, friendship activity, political activity, church participation, mass media activity (except television viewing), informal helping, charitable giving, and participation in other volunteer groups. In the public sector, an extensive literature on "coproduction," the active involvement of citizens in public agencies in the creation and especially the delivery of public goods or services, further establishes the promise of government-based volunteerism, not only for a resurgence in citizenship but also for an enhanced role conception for government officials (e.g., Levine, 1984).…”

Este artigo analisa a ação coletiva promovida pelo Colegiado de Desenvolvimento Territorial (Codeter) da Serra Catarinense, buscando verificar se essa ação colaborou para mobilizar um processo de coprodução do bem público no planejamento e gestão do desenvolvimento rural no território. Foi empregada uma estratégia de investigação de estudo de caso que combinou a utilização de diversas técnicas qualitativas de coleta de dados, análise e interpretação dos resultados. Diferentes paradigmas que tratam da ação coletiva foram considerados, no intuito de examinar a ação concertada promovida no Codeter e suas características principais. Com base no conceito de coprodução e suas variáveis, verificamos que essa ação coletiva engendrou um novo tipo de ação pública, ampliando a participação e a colaboração entre os atores sociais na coconstrução de soluções para os problemas públicos do território.Pal av r a s -c h av e : desenvolvimento rural; ação coletiva; coprodução do bem público.Acción colectiva y coproducion para el desarrollo rural: un estudio de caso de Codeter de la Sierra Catarinense En este artículo se analiza la acción colectiva promovida por el Colegio de Desarrollo Territorial (Codeter) de la Sierra Catarinense, tratando de verificar si esta acción ayudó a movilizar un proceso de co-producción de bienes públicos en la planificación y gestión del desarrollo rural en el territorio.

“…The idea that co-production can be an avenue to foster public trust was already put forward in 1984 by Charles Levine (1984), who regarded this as one of the 'promises of co-production'.

“…Brudney and England, 1983;Parks et al, 1981;Whitaker, 1980), it has lately become a mainstream topic . The expectation is that when citizens are actively involved as co-producers of public service delivery, it results in better quality, but also in a better relations among citizens and between citizens and government (Bovaird, 2007;Brudney and England, 1983;Levine, 1984;Ostrom, 1996;Pestoff, 2009;Verschuere et al, 2012). The economic malaise as a result of the credit crisis in 2007 increased the salience of co-production even more.…”

Co-production is supposed to increase satisfaction with and trust in public services and government, because it gives users more control over the services they use (Bovaird, 2007;Levine, 1984;Pestoff, 2009).…”
