Abstract

The paper aims to show an exploratory research about the use of mobile applications by the State of Bahia and the Municipality of Salvador, Bahia's capital, Brazil. It seeks to identify how they are materially configured, their functionality, and structures. The results are subdivided into three main aspects: 1) An overview of services and functions; 2) Planning: how the applications are managed and understanding by the government and the city hall and 3) Monitoring: how the governments control the use of the mobile applications. At stake is an idea of a smart citizen, as an information provider to the public authorities.
