The text shows through a case study the qualitative approach in a democratic view of the performance of the Municipal Health Council - Conselho Municipal de Saúde do Recife ICMS - Recife. It aims mainly at identifying the conditions under which representative consensus about the health needs of the population can be obtained. Starting from a conceptual understanding of the triad 'democracy, decentralization and participation', the text describes the processes that leads to the definition - in the constitution of 1988 - of the Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS (The Single Health System), and also to the formal institution of the Council in the municipality concerned. It highlights the possibility and pertinence of the application of the theory of the communicative action put forward by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas at the point where it establishes the link between the identification of the health needs and the definition of organization models of sector practices through the municipal councils. From this point of view together with the resource of the hermeutic dialectic method, the dissertation investigates the material obtained in the bibliographical and documentary research, in the interviews and by the applied observation technique used in the meetings of the Council from August 1993 on. It reveals, for the present, its distance in relation to the concept of 'the ideal practical set up', and at the same time due to gains it justifies its valorization as an instrument for democratic construction and citizenship consolidation.
