Demonstrating the relevance of municipal districts and the local communities, during the definitions of new development standards compromised to the transformation of the society, socia1ly and environmentally well-balanced world, it was also agreed on that places under the responsibilities of the municipal districts would promote their own local Agenda 21. We need to point out though that the government has the prerogative and the responsibly of facilitating the population participation process in the construction of national and local Agenda. This made it possible again, to plan the scheming process directly towards the insertion of population participation at the different levels, involving the entire local sectors while establishing a new local partnership through the local municipal government. Thus, we decide to verify the participation of the population in the construction of their local Agenda 21, choosing for the study case Parnamirim municipality from RN. The question which originated the objectives and analysis was formulated on the following terms: Up to which stage was the process of population participation effective in the elaboration of Parnamirims's local Agenda 21? Based on this uneasiness, it was defined as the general objective, the verification of population participation process during the elaboration of Parnamirims's local Agenda 21, aiming at its effectiveness as well as specific objectives; to identify the population representivity, the construction of the local AG 21 in order to identify on which level is the participation based, to verify the strategies used in order to promote the process participation, to identify the motives guiding those involved in the construction of the local Agenda 21. This case study at Parnamirim municipal district demonstrated that there was effective population participation as far as the local Agenda 21 is concerned / Um dos pactos assumidos na Confer?ncia das Na??es Unidas para o Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento, realizada no Rio de Janeiro em 1992, atrav?s da Agenda 21Global foi que os pa?ses signat?rios gerariam pol?ticas nacionais de desenvolvimento sustent?vel, por meio de suas Agendas 21 nacionais. Frente ? relev?ncia dos munic?pios e das comunidades locais, na defini??o de novos padr?es de desenvolvimento comprometido com a transforma??o da sociedade para um mundo mais equilibrado social e ambientalmente, tamb?m foi acordado que as localidades sob responsabilidades dos governos municipais promoveriam a constru??o de suas Agendas 21 Locais. Destacando que os governos t?m a prerrogativa e a responsabilidade de facilitar os processos participativos da popula??o na constru??o das Agendas nacionais e locais. O que se tornou poss?vel (re) pensar um planejamento voltado diretamente para a inser??o da participa??o da popula??o nos diferentes n?veis, envolvendo todos os setores sociais no estabelecimento de uma nova parceria local por meio do governo municipal. Assim sendo, resolvemos verificar a participa??o da popula??o na constru??o da Agenda 21Local, tendo como estudo de caso o munic?pio de Parnamirim, situado no RN. A quest?o que fundamentou os objetivos e a an?lise empreendida foi formulada nos seguintes termos: em que medida o processo de participa??o da popula??o foi efetivo na elabora??o da Agenda 21 Local de Parnamirim? A partir desta inquieta??o, foi definido como objetivo geral verificar o processo de participa??o da popula??o na elabora??o da AG21L de Parnamirim, visando sua efetividade e, como objetivos espec?ficos, identificar as representatividades que participaram da constru??o da AG21L; apreender o tipo de participa??o da popula??o na constru??o da AG21L, visando identificar em que n?vel se deu essa participa??o; verificar as estrat?gias de mobiliza??es utilizadas para promover o processo participativo da popula??o na constru??o da AG21L; identificar os motivos que nortearam os envolvidos a participarem na constru??o da AG21L e identificar a concep??o de DS compreendida para constru??o da AG21L. O estudo de caso, no munic?pio de Parnamirim, demonstrou que efetivamente ocorreu a participa??o da popula??o na constru??o da AG21L
