Abstract(s)
O objetivo fundamental deste estudo reside em perceber qual é o impacto que os
empreendimentos turísticos existentes numa dada região turística, neste caso específico a
cidade do Porto, acarretam na sustentabilidade dessa mesma região, sendo esta uma questão
muito pouco explorada em termos de literatura. Por esse motivo, esta problemática acaba
por ser um tema bastante desafiante de ser trabalhado, uma vez que irá acrescentar valor ao
pouco conhecimento existente sobre esta temática.
Para esta pesquisa foi escolhida a pesquisa quantitativa, mais concretamente a realização e
divulgação de um inquérito por questionário estruturado, já que permite uma resposta
prática, rápida, anónima e em grande número, sendo que o questionário foi respondido
apenas por residentes da cidade do Porto.
Os dados recolhidos pelo questionário provieram de uma amostra composta por 166
indivíduos e os resultados alcançados permitiram gerar algumas conclusões. Foi possível
perceber que os empreendimentos turísticos, através das suas receitas, podem contribuir para
o desenvolvimento de medidas mais sustentáveis que contribuem para a construção de um
destino mais sustentável. Observou-se, também, que a construção de empreendimentos
turísticos na cidade, aos olhos dos residentes, implica um uso excessivo do solo e dos
recursos do território, prejudicando o nível de sustentabilidade da cidade.
De um modo geral, os empreendimentos turísticos, devem ser construídos de forma
sustentada, sob a orientação de um bom plano de ordenamento de território e com a adoção
de medidas de funcionamento sustentáveis, de modo a minimizar os impactos negativos
causados no meio físico e cultural, aumentando os impactos positivos, contribuindo, dessa
forma, para a construção de um destino cada vez mais sustentável.
The main goal of this study is to understand the impact that tourism enterprises in a given region, in this case the city of Porto, have on the sustainability of that same region. This is an understated question in the literature. For this reason, this issue is an extremely challenging one to work and it will add value to the existing knowledge on this subject. A quantitative survey was chosen for this search. A structured questionnaire was produced and distributed, a method proven to be practical and fast while providing anonymity. This questionnaire was answered only by residents of the city of Porto. The data was collected from a sample of 166 individuals and the results achieved allowed the generation of conclusions. It was possible to realize that tourism enterprises, through their revenues, can contribute to the development of more sustainable measures, which turns the region into a more sustainable destination. It was also observed that the construction of tourism enterprises in the city, in the eyes of the residents, implies an excessive use of land and resources of the territory, damaging the level of sustainability. In general, the tourism enterprises should be built in a sustainable way, under the guidance of a good land-use plan and with the adoption of sustainable operating measures, in order to minimize their negative impacts on the physical and cultural environment, increasing the positive impacts, thus contributing to the construction of an increasingly sustainable destination.
