A gestão do patrimônio imóvel da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

Management and control are parts of the foundation of Public Administration, while the definition of systemic procedures is an essential factor for good management practices. However, in general, it is possible to observe the existence of several weaknesses that act as obstacles to good control of public heritage, from the lack of adequate maintenance to serious control and occupancy failures. Although these properties represent a high financial value in the composition of public assets, the outstanding issues reported by public control institutions cover all types of properties currently used by the Public Administration. In this context, this study aimed to seek and identify possible critical points in the public heritage management system of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, based on the evaluation of different types of properties, their characteristics, types of use and control. To do so, a historical retrospective of the concepts involving public heritage in Brazil and its regulatory departments was done, in addition to the exploration of other key concepts for understanding the researched scenario. Bibliographical research, documentary research and participant observation were used as data collection tools. The results pointed to the need to create a heritage management system in the institution, which will be proposed through the development of an Educational Action Plan.
