Resumo: The emerging number of digital nomads in recent years led to intense competition for rental accommodations between local populations and digital nomads in popular tourist destinations. This study investigates the effects of digital nomads on housing affordability for local populations in the Portuguese town Ericeira. Therefore, three focus group interviews with 17 participants divided into three interest groups (digital nomads, landlords and locals) were conducted from May to June 2022. The analysis with Leximancer software showed a semantic clustering with six important concepts that influenced housing affordability for local populations in Ericeira. The study identified that digital nomads increase the number of short-term rentals in Ericeira which makes landlords setting up higher prices benefiting from a digital nomad’s higher budget and their strong willingness to pay. As a result, digital nomads outplace local populations from the city Ericeira meaning they have a similar effect such as classic gentrification or touristification. Hence, this study contributes to ideas and concepts how to secure affordable housing options for local populations.

Este estudo investiga o efeito desse crescimento, na compra de imoveis na cidade da Ericeira em Portugal. Entre os meses de maio e junho de 2022 foram entrevistados 17 indivíduos, divididos em 3 focus group: nómadas digitais, proprietários e população local. O resultado das entrevistas realizado com o software Leximancer indicam seis fatores relevantes que influenciam a compra de imoveis. O estudo revelou que o aumento de nómadas digitais na Ericeira, fez aumentar o aluguer de curta duração bem como os preços. A explicação reside no maior rendimento que os nómadas digitais usufruem bem como a sua predisposição para pagar rendas mais elevadas. Os nomas digitais afastam os habitantes da cidade, causando um efeito semelhante a massificação clássica do turismo. Este estudo sugere que sejam criadas soluções que permitam que a população local tenha acesso a habitação a preços acessíveis.2023-11-08T00:00:00Z2022-11-08T00:00:00Z2022-11-082022-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/26490TID:203098714engGlaeser, Juliainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-03T01:18:02Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/26490Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:25:46.694873Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
