Os “des” caminhos da política esportiva no município de Jequié-Bahia: reflexos sobre o desenvolvimento social e urbano

Abstract

The research aimed to analyze the public sports and leisure policies implemented in the municipality of Jequié/BA and their impact on social and urban development, about the period from 2006 to 2016. As a methodological procedure, this study was characterized as documentary research, with an exploratory character and a qualitative approach. About the process of organizing and processing the data, Bardin's content analysis was used. For data analysis, Pierre Bourdieu's sports field theory and Klaus Frey's public policy analysis model were used. In this context, two categories of analysis were defined: the legal system and the organizational structure for the sports sector; agents and configuration of municipal sports policy. Thus, it was observed that the training of agents inserted in the local sports field and the influence of the political field may have influenced the decision-making process regarding the contents of the local sports policy. In addition, the social control mechanisms are in an embryonic way, despite the municipality having a sports legal order related to the issue. Thus, the local sports policy presented embryonic relations with social and urban development.
