RPER - Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais: acesso irrestrito aos textos publicados

Caros(as) Colegas, 

Tenho o gosto de vos informar que, desde esta data, a RPER - Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais tem os seus textos integralmente em acesso eletrónico irrestrito. 

Este passo foi decidido na Assembleia Geral da APDR, a entidade proprietária da RPER, recentemente realizada na EEG/UMinho. Por esta via, visa-se dar maior visibilidade à investigação divulgada pela revista e levar os investigadores e técnicos da área da Ciência Regional a dar ainda mais preferência à publicação na nossa revista. 

O próximo número da revista estará disponível dentro de poucos dias. A partir do número seguinte, o signatário desta mensagem assumirá as funções de diretor (editor) da revista e serão realizadas outras mudanças no corpo editorial, com a incorporação de novos membros, nacionais e estrangeiros. Será também redobrada a ênfase na publicação em inglês (e noutras línguas, para além do português), para projetar a visiblidade geral da revista e a citação dos respetivos artigos. 

Neste projeto, continuaremos a contar com a colaboração e saber adquirido pelo diretor que trouxe a revista até ao presente, o Professor Pedro Ramos, a quem deixo uma especial saudação e agradecimento pelo trabalho realizado em prol do sucesso da revista e da afirmação da comunidade portuguesa da Ciência Regional.

“Portuguese Publication in the Aim of Regional Science: a Study of the Articles Published in RPER from 2003 to 2015”

"This paper is a study of the full content of the articles published by RPER, the Portuguese Review of Regional Studies, since its launching, in 2003, until the first quarter of 2015. RPER is the journal edited by the Portuguese section of European Regional Science Association, which was established in the first half of the eighties of the 20th century. The Association (APDR) and the Journal are the result of the contribution of researchers and technicians from different scientific fields, going from Economics to Geography, Sociology, Engineering and Architecture, mainly, who take as their main focus the territory, that is, the socio-economic life as it involves in concrete sites, conditioned by their resources and capabilities, historical and cultural heritage and institutions. Content analysis was undertaken in order to identify the main subjects chosen along the total period under analysis, the nature of the articles published (more theoretical or empirical) and the main analytical framework used. The analysis takes also sub-periods in order to investigate major trends found in terms of subjects chosen and analytical methods, questioning the rationale behind that. The paper concludes with a few notes regarding the social echo that the research got and with the identification of the main limitations of the research performed. In a first part of the article, to serve as a basis for the empirical approach developed, a summary review of the genesis and evolution of Regional Science at international level is undertaken."

"Perfil dos visitantes e perceções do destino Guimarães antes e após a CEC 2012"

"As Capitais Europeias da Cultura (CEC) são o projeto cultural colaborativo mais ambicioso, em termos de dimensão e escala, que se realiza na Europa. Em 2012, pela primeira vez em Portugal, uma cidade média recebeu o título de Capital Europeia da Cultura. Guimarães foi a cidade eleita. Três anos após a realização da CEC 2012, importa aferir o que mudou em termos do perfil do visitante e perceção deste dos atributos da cidade. A essa luz, a presente investigação tem como principais objetivos aferir a evolução da perceção dos visitantes do destino Guimarães, tentando identificar as principais alterações ocorridas na sua imagem entre 2010/2011 (antes do megaevento) e 2015 (depois do megaevento), e contribuir para a identificação do posicionamento atual do destino, na perspetiva do visitante. Optou-se por usar fontes primárias, alicerçadas na realização de inquéritos aos visitantes de Guimarães. Em matéria de tratamento analítico, fez-se uso de técnicas que permitam evidenciar a semelhança ou diferença em termos estatísticos dos perfis dos visitantes e percepções dos atributos do destino mantidas no horizonte temporal tratado. Em termos de principais resultados, constatou-se uma alteração do perfil do visitante do destino Guimarães (maior equilíbrio em termos de homens e mulheres, descida dos inquiridos com idade compreendida entre os 0 e os 25 anos e um aumento dos inquiridos entre os 46 e os 65 anos, e aumento dos visitantes com habilitações literárias mais baixas) e uma evolução notória dos atributos percebidos da cidade. Crê-se que os resultados empíricos a que se chegou são informação a ter em devida conta pelos operadores turísticos e, sobretudo, pelos responsáveis pelo planeamento e gestão turística da cidade."

"Destination attributes and tourist`s satisfaction in a cultural destination"

«Cultural tourism is one of the leading growing segments of the tourism industry. Many tourists who visit heritage sites seek a value-added and authentic experience, when compared with the traditional products or mass destinations. Considering the importance of tourist`s satisfaction in what regards the revisit intentions and word-of-mouth referrals, which in turn influence the economic development of the tourist destination, this study attempts to investigate the relationship between cultural/heritage destination attributes and tourist`s satisfaction. The study area for this paper is the city of Guimarães, in the northwest of Portugal. This city is a place of strong symbolic and cultural significance and was deemed a world heritage site (UNESCO) in the year 2001. In 2012, Guimarães was one of the cities that hosted the European Capital of Culture (ECOC). All this enhanced its tourism potential and increased the amounts of visitors. The methodology consists of quantitative research based on a self-administered survey applied to tourists who visited Guimarães in the first half of 2015. Based upon the empirical results of this study, several recommendations can be made to increase tourists’ satisfaction vis-à-vis to Guimarães, regarding tourists’ needs, attributes valorization and cultural/heritage sustainability.»

“Mega cultural events: does attendance affect residents’ perceptions of a city’s identity?”

«Abstract Events are frequently planned with a goal of attracting tourists to a destination. However, studies about the impact of a mega cultural event on residents’ identity are scarce. This research is based on the premise that hosting a mega cultural event can, to a significant degree, change a few of the attributes of the city’s identity as it is perceived by its residents. Specifically, the objective of the study is to identify the attributes of the city and compare the differences found between different groups of residents (attendees vs. non-attendees) before and after a mega cultural event. For this purpose, we focus our attention on Guimarães the ECOC 2012 (2012 European Capital of Culture) and the perceptions of the residents of this city. Several significant findings are reported and their implications for event managers and public policy administrators presented, along with the limitations of the study. 

Keywords: city’s identity; residents’ perceptions of effects; mega cultural event; event-induced tourism; Guimarães, Portugal.»

"Social Entrepreneurship: Does Institutional Environment Make a Difference?"

"Social entrepreneurship has been recognized as a helpful instrument of social and economic policy. The European Commission, namely, has recognized very early the importance of social organizations on economic growth and social innovation, through their contribution for the development of societies endowed with better levels of democracy, activism and social cohesion. Having that in mind, the purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the link between social entrepreneurship and institutional environment in Portugal. A quantitative approach is used in the study, and primary data were collected through an online survey. A questionnaire was emailed to, both, Portuguese Non-Governmental Organizations and projects available on the Portuguese Social Stock Exchange. In the analysis of the data we used descriptive statistics, factorial analysis and t-student tests to validate (or not) the research hypotheses. The results show that a favorable institutional environment (social, institutional) seems to have a low influence on the decision-making process related to the creation of new social entrepreneurial initiatives. Conversely, the sense individuals hold about the skills required to develop the new venture and the previous knowledge that their action will produce a desirable outcome have a significant weight on their decision. This conclusion supports the idea that many social entrepreneurs can emerge even in developing regions where the institutional environment is weak. Therefore, social entrepreneurship could be an instrument of regional development and contribute to attenuate the social and economic differences among Portuguese regions."
