Resumo: The rural area has undergone many transformations in terms of functionality and identity resulting in an attempt to grow tourism to improve environmental, economic, social and cultural promotion, preservation and revitalization of these areas when compared to urban spaces that are much more developed. In this way, tourism in rural areas (TER) in Portugal is seen as a driving force for the community development and its entire surrounding. Over the years, technologies have been constantly evolving. This has been reflected in people’s decision-making process and, consequently, how they purchase their products and services. Tourists increasingly use online reviews made by other users in their travel planning, which contain descriptive comments and/or a rating system, named as electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). In this way, this study intends to understand the evolution of the eWOM in rural tourism, by studying the main characteristics that influence consumers’ satisfaction. To that end, the content of the comments and quantitative classification of Schist Villages lodgings on the platforms of TripAdvisor and Facebook were studied, using extraction, polarity and frequency techniques as well as the SPSS program for the analysis.

Deste modo, o turismo em espaço rural (TER) em Portugal é visto como impulsor da comunidade e de toda a sua envolvência. O facto de as tecnologias terem-se desenvolvido constantemente ao longo dos anos, refletiu-se no modo como as pessoas realizam o seu processo de decisão e, consequentemente, a compra dos seus produtos e serviços. Os turistas utilizam cada vez mais as revisões "online" feitas por outros usuários no planeamento da sua viagem, que contêm comentários descritivos e sistema de classificação por escala, chamado "word-of-mouth" eletrónico (eWOM). Desta forma, este estudo pretende analisar a evolução do eWOM no turismo rural, estudando os principais atributos que influenciam a satisfação dos consumidores. Para tal, o conteúdo dos comentários e a classificação quantitativa dos alojamentos das Aldeias do Xisto nas plataformas "TripAdvisor" e "Facebook" foram estudados, utilizando técnicas de extração, polaridade e frequência, e ainda o programa SPSS para a sua análise.2018-05-07T16:46:17Z2021-05-07T00:00:00Z2017-11-25T00:00:00Z2017-11-252017-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/15761TID:201761157engSantos, Marta Isabel Henriques Parente dosinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:55:50Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/15761Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:28:32.021983Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
