Mobile government: uma análise dos aplicativos estaduais como mediadores do relacionamento entre os cidadãos e os governos estaduais

Abstract

According to the National Household Sample Survey (Pnad) 2015, 92.1% of Brazilian households accessed the internet through cell phones. These data have brought opportunities and challenges for the public administration to use the potential of mobile government (m-gov) to deliver services. The overall objective is to evaluate the mobile applications of the state and Federal District governments that centralize the provision of services to verify adherence to best practices according to the national and international literature to improve the relationship with the citizen. Only 10 federative units of the researched scope have an application that centralizes government services. The number of downloads also represents a small portion of the population. Few applications use the typical technology features of mobile devices such as GPS, camera and push notifications to enhance the relationship with the citizen.
