Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a model to support governmental local managers in public budget optimization, based on an integration of methods. It was constructed to fill the gap related to weights definition in problematic, commonly performed subjective assessments. This model supports the decision making in budget distribution identifying the importance of sectors in local governments, captured by historical data. Design/methodology/approach The model was developed following three steps: the first step included the exploitation of the characteristics of local sectors represented by city departments and the data collection procedure using time series (TS). In the second one, the weights regarding the importance of each city department were calculated by the UTASTAR method and based on historical data from the first step. Finally, an objective function was formulated using linear programming and constraints based on law specifications, and as a result, an optimized projection for public budget distribution was performed. Findings The results demonstrated that the model can be more efficient to weights definition, considering the behavior of preferences by historical data and supporting local public resources optimization, also to comply with the legislation, being able to predict or project future values available on the budget. Research limitations/implications The theoretical and practical implications are related with a novelty in recognizing the weights for criteria by a historical behavior of preferences. It can be bringing important directions for budget distribution. The main limitation detected in this study was the difficulty to formulate an assessment involving an integrated opinion from local managers and the population. Practical implications First of all, with the correct allocation of resources, the government has a greater advantage to capture investments from the negotiation with development entities and banks. Second, an efficient local government management can promote compliance with legislation and more transparent public policies. Social implications The correct distribution of resources affects the life quality for citizens, since the government acts as a provider of essential services for the population like education, safety, health, particularly for citizens who depend exclusively on the services offered by the local government. Moreover, it can also affect the environment as resources for garbage collection, disposal services and sanitation and, finally, affect the city development such as infrastructure, taxes, etc. Originality/value It might be considered an original contribution mainly by the development of a procedure to capture values for weights by TS and meeting the manager’s requirements, based on analytical, statistical and mathematical tools integrated.

市政资源管理的决策模型

目的本文的目的是提出一种基于方法集成的模型，以支持政府本地经理进行公共预算优化。它旨在弥补有问题的，通常执行的主观评估中与权重定义有关的空白。该模型支持预算分配中的决策，以历史数据为基础来确定部门在地方政府中的重要性。设计/方法/方法该模型分三个步骤开发：第一步包括利用市政府部门代表的地方部门的特征以及使用时间序列（TS）进行数据收集程序。在第二个步骤中，通过UTASTAR方法并基于第一步的历史数据来计算每个城市部门重要性的权重。最后，使用线性规划和基于法律规范的约束条件制定了目标函数，结果对公共预算分配进行了优化的预测。结果结果表明，考虑历史数据的偏好行为并支持本地公共资源的优化，该模型在权重定义上可能更有效，同时也符合法规，能够预测或预测预算中可用的未来价值。研究的局限性/涵义理论和实践意义与通过偏好的历史行为来识别标准权重的新颖性有关。它可以为预算分配带来重要的指导。在这项研究中发现的主要局限性是难以制定涉及地方管理者和民众的综合意见的评估。实际意义首先，通过正确分配资源，政府在与开发实体和银行进行的谈判中获取投资方面具有更大的优势。第二，有效的地方政府管理可以促进对立法的遵守和更加透明的公共政策。社会影响资源的正确分配会影响公民的生活质量，因为政府是为人民提供基本服务的提供者，例如教育，安全，健康，特别是对于完全依赖地方政府提供服务的公民。此外，
