%X This study attempts to check the transparency level of information in public administration published in the homepages of 96 municipalities included among the 100 most populous in Brazil and what characteristics and socioeconomic indicators of the municipalities can contribute to explain the level of transparency observed. The level of transparency in public administration was established from a research model called Transparency Index Municipal Public Management (ITGP-M) constructed based on international codes of good governance and transparency, the Brazilian legislation and the experiences of previous studies of similar nature conducted in Brazil and abroad. The empirical evidence point to low levels of transparency, incompatible with the level of socioeconomic development of municipalities. Moreover, we can conclude that, overall, there is an association between the socioeconomic conditions of the municipalities and the levels of transparency in the disclosure of information about public administration observed in sites of large municipalities as in this study. Neste estudo buscou-se verificar o n¨ªvel de transpar¨ºncia das informa  es acerca da gest o p¨²blica divulgadas nos portais eletr nicos de 96 munic¨ªpios inclu¨ªdos entre os 100 mais populosos do Brasil e quais caracter¨ªsticas e indicadores socioecon micos dos munic¨ªpios podem contribuir para explicar o n¨ªvel de transpar¨ºncia observado. O n¨ªvel de transpar¨ºncia da gest o p¨²blica foi verificado a partir de um modelo de investiga  o denominado ¨ªndice de Transpar¨ºncia da Gest o P¨²blica Municipal (ITGP-M), constru¨ªdo com base em c¨®digos internacionais de boas pr¨¢ticas de transpar¨ºncia e governan a, na legisla  o brasileira aplic¨¢vel e nas experi¨ºncias de pesquisas anteriores de natureza semelhante realizadas no Brasil e no exterior. As evid¨ºncias emp¨ªricas apontam para baixos n¨ªveis de transpar¨ºncia, considerados incompat¨ªveis com o n¨ªvel de desenvolvimento socioecon mico dos munic¨ªpios. Al¨¦m disso, pode-se concluir que, no geral, existe associa  o entre as condi  es socioecon micas dos munic¨ªpios e os n¨ªveis de transpar¨ºncia na divulga  o de informa  es acerca da gest o p¨²blica observados nos sites dos grandes munic¨ªpios brasileiros que comp em a amostra desse estudo.
