Abstract
The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss the relationship with the territorial dimension of
participatory democracy in the context of digital society, from ideas and thoughts that involve
two conceptual dimensions: technological and digital planning. For this, he parted from the
premise that democratic participation has always been directly linked to territorial perspective
and that it takes for it to happen whenever there is a reference territory. In the contemporary
moment, when many paradigms begin to be replaced and most of the links to be through
virtual environments of cyberspace, it is possible to think that traditional concepts need to
begin to be adapted. Based on this perspective, is that it proposes the concept of
ciberterritório, as being the product of relations obtained from the hybridity of the physical
spaces and virtual interface with digital technologies, which, while fostering an architecture of
participation, not seen at any other stage history, may be allowing the extension of democratic
participation, enhancing spaces of citizenship and increasing the possibility of political
articulation through cyberspace. This process is conceptualized here as cyberdemocracy. The
methodological approach was implemented from the case study of the World Social Forum
(WSF), through semi-structured interviews with participants of the WSF 2009 in Belem, Para,
theme of the WSF 2010, in Salvador, Bahia, and professionals in various field of knowledge,
with the intention to verify not only the participants' perception of the movement, but also
other members of society, about the contemporary democratic context, mediated by digital
information technologies.
