Abstract(s)
Um elevado crescimento do setor do turismo tem associado um conjunto diversificado e complexo de impactos económicos, socioculturais e ambientais, capazes de afetar a qualidade de vida dos residentes de um destino turístico. Neste contexto, as políticas de desenvolvimento dos territórios devem atender e privilegiar a sustentabilidade do turismo. Os residentes influenciam a perceção do perfil e da qualidade da oferta turística e, inevitavelmente, constituem variável a considerar no processo de desenvolvimento dos destinos turísticos. Assim, compreender as suas perspetivas e atitudes em relação ao desenvolvimento do turismo revela-se fundamental para a sustentabilidade da indústria deste setor. O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise de variáveis que influenciam o apoio dos residentes no distrito do Porto ao desenvolvimento do turismo. Através da adoção de uma abordagem não forçada na medição dos impactos económicos, socioculturais e ambientais percebidos, pretende-se avaliar a sua influência no apoio dos residentes ao desenvolvimento do turismo. Adicionalmente, introduz-se tanto a imagem do local como a ligação ao local como variáveis precedentes do apoio dos residentes ao desenvolvimento do turismo. Deste modo, a intenção é identificar a relação, quer entre a imagem do local, quer entre a ligação ao local, e o apoio dos residentes ao desenvolvimento do turismo e, igualmente, a relação com os impactos percebidos. Assim, posteriormente a uma revisão de literatura sobre temáticas do turismo e do desenvolvimento sustentável, perceções e atitudes dos residentes, impactos do turismo, imagem do local e ligação ao local, foi realizado um estudo empírico, suportado na aplicação de um questionário a uma amostra de residentes do distrito do Porto. Os resultados alcançados permitiram reforçar a ideia que existe uma relação entre os impactos percebidos do turismo e o apoio dos residentes ao desenvolvimento do mesmo. Os resultados revelam ainda a importância da imagem do local na formação da perceção dos residentes sobre os impactos do turismo bem como no seu nível de apoio. Por último, foram validadas as relações entre a ligação dos residentes ao local e os impactos económicos e socioculturais percebidos do turismo.
A high growth in the tourism sector is associated with a diverse and complex set of economic, sociocultural and environmental impacts, capable of affecting residents’ quality of life of a tourist destination. In this context, the development policies of the territories must meet and privilege the sustainability of tourism. Residents influence the perception of the profile and quality of the tourist offer and, inevitably, are a variable to consider in the development process of tourist destinations. Thus, understanding their perspectives and attitudes towards tourism development is fundamental to the sustainability of the industry in this sector. The present study aims to develop an analysis of variables that influence residents’ support for tourism development, in the Porto district. By adopting a non-forced approach in measuring the perceived economic, sociocultural and environmental impacts, it is intended to assess its influence on residents' support for tourism development. In addition, both place image and place attachment are introduced as preceding variables of residents' support for tourism development. Thus, the aim will be to identify the relationship between both place image and place attachment with the residents’ support for tourism development and, also, with the perceived impacts. After a literature review on topics such as tourism and sustainable development, residents’ perceptions and attitudes, tourism impacts, place image and place attachment, an empirical study was conducted. The results achieved through the implementation of a questionnaire to the residents of Porto district, allowed to reinforce the idea that there is a relationship between the perceived impacts of tourism and the support of residents to its development. The results also reveal the significance of place image in shaping residents' perception of xi tourism impacts as well as their level of support. Finally, the relationship between place attachment and the perceived economic and sociocultural impacts of tourism were also validated.
