This work discusses the combination of public and private efforts from a municipal perspective. The objective is to recognize the process of integration of heterogeneous agents on the perceptions about plural participation and about limits, challenges and potentialities of joint actions. Hence, this work analyzes two projects related to the Strategic Plan of Juiz de Fora, MG. Elements based on negotiated order theory and on the debate about social construction of reality are part of the theoretical reference of this work. The results showed that the quality of the process of interaction among many agents interferes with the perceptions when it provides common meanings, limits to individual autonomy and rules that can coordinate the universe of relations. These parameters act aligning efforts to common purposes, balancing expectations, making a consensus viable, breaking patterns and conferring credibility to decisions.
