Abstract(s)
Nas últimas décadas, o processo de globalização tem intensificado as disparidades económicas regionais, representando uma séria ameaça ao progresso económico, à coesão social e à estabilidade política. Os processos e políticas de mercado, anteriormente vistos como motores de prosperidade e oportunidades, já não se mostram suficientemente eficazes para enfrentar esses desafios. Nesse contexto, o desenvolvimento regional é fortemente impulsionado pela eficiência logística, que facilita o fluxo de bens, reduz custos operacionais e promove a competitividade das empresas locais, contribuindo para o crescimento económico sustentável das comunidades.
Este estudo tem como objetivo geral a compreensão da relação entre o desenvolvimento regional e a logística, lacuna identificada na literatura, tendo como principal fonte de dados, num primeiro momento a literatura existente, relacionando a contribuição da logística para o desenvolvimento socioeconómico. Reconhecendo a importância do desenvolvimento regional no contexto económico e social, este estudo tem como objetivos específicos: (1) analisar a contribuição das atividades logísticas para o desenvolvimento económico e social a nível regional; (2) perceber a importância da logística no desenvolvimento regional através de um estudo de caso aplicado à região do Tâmega e Sousa; e (3) propor um modelo conceptual que permita avaliar as interações entre logística e desenvolvimento regional, que possa servir como referência para outras regiões.
Utilizando uma metodologia baseada em revisão da literatura, análise de indicadores logísticos e validação com especialistas, o estudo identifica fatores críticos para melhorar a eficiência e a competitividade logística. Destaca a relevância de infraestruturas adequadas e de um modelo de avaliação robusto para monitorizar o impacto logístico e sugere que as melhorias neste sector podem aumentar a atratividade da região, impulsionando o crescimento económico e a criação de emprego.
In recent decades, the process of globalisation has intensified regional economic disparities, posing a serious threat to economic progress, social cohesion and political stability. Market processes and policies, previously seen as engines of prosperity and opportunity, are no longer proving effective enough to meet these challenges. In this context, regional development is strongly driven by logistical efficiency, which facilitates the flow of goods, reduces operating costs and promotes the competitiveness of local companies, contributing to the sustainable economic growth of communities. The general aim of this study is to understand the relationship between regional development and logistics, a gap identified in the literature, with the main source of data initially being the existing literature, relating the contribution of logistics to socio-economic development. Recognising the importance of regional development in the economic and social context, this study has the following specific objectives: (1) to analyse the contribution of logistics activities to economic and social development at a regional level; (2) understand the importance of logistics in regional development through a case study applied to the Tâmega e Sousa region; and (3) to propose a conceptual model that allows the interactions between logistics and regional development to be assessed, which can serve as a reference for other regions. Using a methodology based on a literature review, analysis of logistics indicators and validation with experts, the study identifies critical factors for improving logistics efficiency and competitiveness. It highlights the relevance of adequate infrastructure and a robust evaluation model to monitor logistics impact and suggests that improvements in this sector could increase the region's attractiveness, boosting economic growth and job creation.
