QUECANO CONDORI, Percy  and  DOMINGUEZ PILLACA, Danny. Citizen participation for social development in municipal management. Revista InveCom [online]. 2025, vol.5, n.2, e502025.  Epub Feb 15, 2025. ISSN 2739-0063.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13137288.

The research focused on the participation of citizens who promote significant transparency in the action of the authorities, demonstrating the commitment of the population and fostering a dialogue that seeks to bring the municipal government closer to civil society. The aim of the study was to analyse how citizen participation in municipal government is developed through a systematic review following the declarative requirements of PRISMA 2020. A systematic review of indexed articles from 2019 to 2024 was carried out, in the following repositories: Scopus, SciElo, Latindex, Redalyc and ProQuest, using the descriptors: "municipal management" "citizen development" "citizen participation" "local government" and "democratic participation", selecting 26 original articles of a quantitative nature that revealed a low level of citizen participation, attributed in part to lack of knowledge, distrust in authority and lack of interest due to poor municipal management. The findings highlight the lack of will of the authority in power to strengthen the relationship with the citizenry. In the cases where there was greater participation, access to information through social networks was observed in the interaction. The municipalities submitted to the study are very committed to some initiatives to strengthen and empower citizens that have had a favorable influence on the performance of local management.

Keywords : urban development; citizen participation; local government policies.
