Abstract(s)
O turismo na cidade do Porto tem crescido principalmente na última década, tendo
sido acompanhado de um aumento das dormidas. Para fazer face a crescente procura,
foi necessária a criação de novos estabelecimentos hoteleiros e de alojamento local.
Estes últimos têm gerado controvérsia no meio dos residentes, assistindo-se mesmo a
um clima de tensão relativamente a habitação no centro histórico da cidade do Porto.
Vários foram os casos onde os habitantes desta zona da cidade afirmam ter sido
aliciados ou até mesmo ameaçados para deixarem as suas habitações para que se
possa dar lugar a mais um alojamento turístico em zonas privilegiadas, o que tem
contribuído para uma crescente reabilitação deste espaço.
Os principais atores envolvidos nesta atividade turística são os turistas e os residentes,
cuja relação deve ser estudada de forma a conseguir-se um equilíbrio entre os dois
para se evitar o conflito. Nesta decorrência, o presente estudo tem por objetivos avaliar
o impacto social do turismo no centro histórico do Porto e no abandono habitacional,
bem como os impactos económicos e ambientais. Para entender de que forma o
turismo impacta os residentes, após a revisão da literatura, seguiu-se uma metodologia
mista, de forma a perceber o lado dos residentes e das entidades reguladoras do
turismo na cidade. Para tal, procedeu-se a elaboração de um inquérito distribuído
eletronicamente, o possível durante uma pandemia, e ainda a realização de duas
entrevistas. Ao inquérito obteve-se 66 respostas válidas e duas entidades mostraram-
se disponíveis para mostrarem os seus pontos de vista do problema.
Os resultados obtidos sugerem que os impactos sociais e ambientais do turismo são
percecionados como negativos pelos residentes do centro histórico do Porto e apenas
estes conseguem explicar o abandono residencial.
Tourism in Porto has grown mainly in the last decade, accompanied by an increase in overnight stays. To follow the growing demand, it has been necessary to create new tourism developments and local accommodation, which, this last one have generated so much controversy, have even be seen a climate of tension regarding housing in the historic city centre of Porto. There have been several cases Where the inhabitants of this part of the city claim to have been lured or even threatened to leave their homes in order to give way to another tourist development in privileged areas, which has contributed to an increasing rehabilitation of this areas. The main actors involved in this tourist activity are the tourists and the residents, whose relationship must be studied in order to achieve a balance between the two to avoid conflict. As a result, this study aims to evaluate the social impact of tourism in the historical centre of Porto and in housing abandonment, and also the economic and environmental impacts. To understand how tourism impacts residents, after the literature review, a mixed methodology was followed, in order to understand the residents' side and the city's tourism regulators. To this end, an electronically distributed survey, as far as possible during a pandemic, was carried out, as well as two interviews. The survey received 66 valid answers and two entities were available to show their views on the problem. The results obtained suggest that the social and environmental impacts of tourism are perceived as negative by the residents of the historic centre of Porto and only they can explain residential abandonment.
