Abstract(s)
O presente estudo incide sobre o Aeroporto Municipal de Cascais enquanto estratégia
de desenvolvimento, analisando o seu papel no progresso económico, social e
urbanístico da região, num contexto marcado por desafios históricos de planeamento,
tensões com as comunidades vizinhas e exigências crescentes de sustentabilidade
ambiental. A relevância desta investigação reside na necessidade de compreender de
que forma uma infraestrutura aeroportuária pode ser integrada de modo equilibrado e
sustentável no tecido urbano consolidado, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento
regional sem comprometer a qualidade de vida das populações locais nem o meio
ambiente. Oferecendo, assim, uma perspetiva informada para a tomada de decisões
futuras sobre o modelo de gestão e expansão do aeroporto.
O presente estudo tem por objetivos a caracterização das condições atuais e a
sustentabilidade do Aeroporto Municipal de Cascais, avaliar o balanço entre vantagens
e desvantagens da sua existência, otimizar a eficiência operacional, analisar o
enquadramento económico-financeiro, identificar impactos ambientais e urbanísticos,
e explorar cenários estratégicos de desenvolvimento futuro.
A metodologia adotada neste estudo é de natureza qualitativa, baseada na realização
de entrevistas semiestruturadas a diferentes intervenientes relevantes para o tema.
Os resultados evidenciam que o AMC tem desempenhado um papel relevante no
desenvolvimento económico e social da região, sobretudo ao especializar-se nos
segmentos de aviação executiva, geral e formação aeronáutica. No entanto, persistem
desafios significativos, nomeadamente a necessidade de equilibrar o crescimento do
aeroporto com a qualidade de vida das comunidades vizinhas. O estudo destaca ainda a
importância de uma integração sustentável do aeroporto no tecido urbano, sublinhando
que o sucesso futuro desta infraestrutura depende da capacidade de conciliar o seu
interesse num contexto de espaço físico limitado e de forte pressão urbanística.
This study focuses on Cascais Municipal Airport as a development strategy, analysing its role in the region’s economic, social, and urban progress within a context marked by historical planning challenges, tensions with neighbouring communities, and increasing demands for environmental sustainability. The relevance of this research lies in the need to understand how an airport infrastructure can be integrated in a balanced and sustainable manner into the consolidated urban fabric, contributing to regional development without compromising the quality of life of local populations or the environment. In doing so, it provides an informed perspective for future decision-making regarding the management and expansion model of the airport. The objectives of this study are to characterise the current conditions and sustainability of Cascais Municipal Airport, assess the balance between the advantages and disadvantages of its existence, optimise operational efficiency, analyse the economic and financial framework, identify environmental and urban impacts, and explore strategic scenarios for future development. The methodology adopted in this study is qualitative in nature, based on conducting semistructured interviews with various stakeholders relevant to the topic. The results demonstrate that the airport has played a significant role in the economic and social development of the region, particularly through its specialisation in executive, general, and training aviation. However, significant challenges remain, namely the need to balance the airport’s growth with the quality of life of neighbouring communities. The study also highlights the importance of the airport’s sustainable integration into the urban fabric, emphasising that the future success of this infrastructure depends on its ability to reconcile its interests within a context of limited physical space and strong urban development pressures.
