Democratização do acesso à justiça em Roraima: adoção do sistema LEO (Low Earth Orbit) no PID de Santa Maria do Boiaçu

Abstract

Access to justice is a fundamental right guaranteed by the 1988 Federal Constitution, but its effectiveness faces significant challenges, especially in a country with continental dimensions like Brazil. The complexity of the legal system, socioeconomic disparities, and geographic barriers hinder access to justice for a large portion of the population, particularly in remote and underserved regions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication system at the Digital Inclusion Point (PID) in Santa Maria do Boiaçu, seeking to overcome these barriers and promote digital inclusion and equitable access to justice. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods, to assess the technical, operational, and social impacts of LEO technology. The quantitative methodology allows for the measurement of indicators such as connection speed and network stability, while the qualitative approach captures the perceptions of users and system operators. The obtained results indicate that LEO technology can significantly improve connection stability and quality, facilitating virtual hearings, procedural consultations, and other digital judicial services. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of PIDs as tools for digital inclusion, enabling citizens in remote locations to access legal services without the need for on-site travel. It is established that the implementation of the LEO system in PIDs represents a significant advancement in justice access democratization, promoting digital inclusion and citizenship in historically underrepresented communities. The research also suggests that this technology can serve as a replicable model for other regions with similar challenges, contributing to the construction of a more inclusive and efficient legal system.
