Resumo: Over the years, tourism has established itself as the most prominent global industry. Studies on the impact of tourism on the environment have aroused research interest due to the saturation of natural resources. The main objective of this dissertation is to study Ecotourism in the context of islands and understand if it is a plausible solution to mitigate the adverse effects of tourism. To support the thesis, hypotheses were elaborated, which, using a quantitative approach as the primary method, were analysed for their significance. The quantitative study was carried out with resources from the questionnaire, developed through the Conceptual Framework and adapted from the previous literature. The questionnaire was posted online on social media platforms. Through the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software, it was possible to test the hypotheses and conclude that Place Attachment, Environmental Sensitivity, has a significant effect on environmentally responsible behaviour instead of environmental knowledge that is not statistically significant.

Deste modo, o número de estudos com o propósito de estudar o impacto do turismo tem crescido devido à sobrecarga sobre os recursos naturais. O principal objetivo desta dissertação é estudar o Ecoturismo em contexto das ilhas e compreender se este, é uma solução plausível para mitigar os efeitos adversos do turismo. Neste estudo, a metodologia quantitativa foi a selecionada para analisar e estudar a significância estatística das hipóteses. A análise quantitativa, teve como suporte, questionários adaptados de literatura validada, tendo sido publicados em redes sociais. Por meio do software IBM SPSS Statistics 26, foi possível testar as hipóteses e concluir que apego ao local e a sensibilidade ambiental, possuem um efeito significativo no comportamento ambientalmente responsável, ao contrário do conhecimento ambiental que não é estatisticamente significativo.Rodrigues, Helena Maria Correia Neves CordeiroVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaFreitas, André Jardim de2022-08-03T13:26:35Z2022-01-252022-012022-01-25T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/38500TID:202965554enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:43:59Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/38500Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:31:26.471464Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
