Abstract

The Program of Acceleration and Growth (PAC) of the federal government of Brazil made possible that several urban interventions between 2008 and
2012 were performed through federal, state and municipal public entities. We analyze the perception of beneficiaries on satisfaction, with an urban intervention, at the
underprivileged community of Nova Esperança, Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, using a multi methodological approach enhanced by a triangulation process
between four methods. The theoretical framework discusses the processes of urbanization and formation of slums in Brazil ever since the second half of the twentieth
century and discusses aspects of management performance with emphasis on evaluation of satisfaction with public services. The case study concluded that some
services have improved, but others did not. Finally, we discuss the contrast between the overall evaluation and the assessment of each service at Nova Esperança,
suggesting implications for research and practice.
Keywords: local government, assessment of satisfaction, quality of public services, urban public services
