Resumo: | A widely appraised solution for negative environmental and societal impacts caused by tourism is the concept of sustainable tourism development (STD). Tourism spots that could profit particularly from corresponding development are mass tourism destinations that have reached a matured developmental stage where the full spectrum of the potential adverse effects of tourism have surfaced and must be addressed. Two of the most important determinants for successful planning and implementation of STD in a destination are the knowledge about its residents' attitudes towards STD and their level of support for it. While previous research pointed towards the existence of direct relationships among latter dimensions, the present study aims at empirically establishing the factors affecting residents' attitudes and support in a matured tourist destination towards STD. Emphasis will be made on how these factors affect the reactions of the population in this specific destination type. Further, it is also intended to uncover statistically the possible correlation between the two factors. The matured destination selected as a study site for the survey was the Portuguese region of the Algarve. In the descriptive analysis, we can see that survey results showed that the Algarve residents exhibited strong positive attitudes towards STD particularly in terms of environmental concerns, and a strong tendency to support STD. The Pearson R analysis is utilized on the data obtained to ascertain if it could deliver clear evidence on the correlation of residents' attitudes and support towards STD. This will entail the confirmation of all eight hypotheses derived from the literature research. In conclusion, the current work presents a detailed discussion of the study's results and its potential theoretical and managerial implications based on previous researches on the topic. It also provides an assessment of the study's limitations and proposals for future research on the matter. |

Os pontos turísticos que poderiam lucrar particularmente com o desenvolvimento correspondente são os destinos de turismo de massa que atingiram um estágio de desenvolvimento maturado, onde todo o espectro dos potenciais efeitos adversos do turismo emergiu e deve ser tratado. Dois dos determinantes mais importantes para o planejamento e implementação bem-sucedidos de DTS em um destino são o conhecimento sobre as atitudes de seus residentes em relação a DTS e o nível de apoio à ele. Enquanto pesquisas anteriores apontavam para a existência de relações diretas entre as últimas dimensões, o presente estudo visa estabelecer empiricamente os fatores que afetam as atitudes e o apoio dos residentes em um destino turístico maturado em relação às DTS. Será dada ênfase à forma como esses fatores afetam as reações da população neste tipo específico de destino. Além disso, também se pretende descobrir estatisticamente a possível correlação entre os dois fatores. O destino maturado escolhido como local de estudo para o inquérito foi a região portuguesa do Algarve. Na análise descritiva, podemos verificar que os resultados do inquérito revelaram que os residentes no Algarve exibiam fortes atitudes positivas em relação às DTS, nomeadamente no que se refere às questões ambientais, e uma forte tendência para apoiar as DTS. A análise de Pearson R é usada nos dados obtidos para verificar se ela poderia fornecer evidências claras sobre a correlação das atitudes dos residentes e o apoio às DTS. Isso implicará na confirmação de todas as oito hipóteses derivadas da pesquisa bibliográfica. Em conclusão, o presente trabalho apresenta uma discussão detalhada dos resultados do estudo e suas potenciais implicações teóricas e gerenciais com base em pesquisas anteriores sobre o tema. Também fornece uma avaliação das limitações do estudo e propostas para pesquisas futuras sobre o assunto.Matos, NélsonLopes, IrisSapientiaNeuens-Pohlmann, Moritz2023-06-19T10:29:07Z2021-12-152021-12-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/19701TID:202944220enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-24T10:32:13Zoai:sapientia.ualg.pt:10400.1/19701Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:09:17.894235Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

A widely appraised solution for negative environmental and societal impacts caused by tourism is the concept of sustainable tourism development (STD). Tourism spots that could profit particularly from corresponding development are mass tourism destinations that have reached a matured developmental stage where the full spectrum of the potential adverse effects of tourism have surfaced and must be addressed. Two of the most important determinants for successful planning and implementation of STD in a destination are the knowledge about its residents' attitudes towards STD and their level of support for it. While previous research pointed towards the existence of direct relationships among latter dimensions, the present study aims at empirically establishing the factors affecting residents' attitudes and support in a matured tourist destination towards STD. Emphasis will be made on how these factors affect the reactions of the population in this specific destination type. Further, it is also intended to uncover statistically the possible correlation between the two factors. The matured destination selected as a study site for the survey was the Portuguese region of the Algarve. In the descriptive analysis, we can see that survey results showed that the Algarve residents exhibited strong positive attitudes towards STD particularly in terms of environmental concerns, and a strong tendency to support STD. The Pearson R analysis is utilized on the data obtained to ascertain if it could deliver clear evidence on the correlation of residents' attitudes and support towards STD.
