- Abstract
In recent years, municipal digitization has undergone accelerated evolution and development, accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic period. Thus, the public administration has sought to improve, digitally, channels of communication, transparency, and participation with citizens. This research article is based on 23 interviews with different professionals working in City Councils, aiming to analyze, through a qualitative methodology, the new digital spaces for communication and participation that are being developed, as well as forums for meeting and training that, at the local level, seek to promote citizen participation and establish the foundations of an increasingly solid, participatory, and supportive community. Similarly, it delves into aspects related to changes and initiatives in citizen service during the COVID-19 pandemic era, their current evolution and future prospects, as well as the positive and negative aspects of municipal digitization in relation to socioeducational development in municipal contexts and citizen participation. The main results highlight the importance of training in digital skills, generating more efficient channels for information and citizen participation, and the problems associated with the digital divide, especially among older people.
