Esta tese investiga o impacto do FEADER nas empresas
vitivinícolas do Alentejo e da Península de Setúbal (2007–
2020), analisando como o financiamento público, em
interação com o acesso à informação, influencia a criação
de emprego, a fixação da população e a diversificação da
atividade. Em termos metodológicos, adota uma
abordagem mista: qualitativa (entrevistas e análise
documental) e quantitativa (inquérito por questionário
aplicado à população total de 268 empresas), seguido de
segmentação empírica em três grupos via Two-Step Cluster
(103, 94 e 56 unidades). Os resultados indicam efeitos
positivos do FEADER, embora territorialmente
diferenciados: no Alentejo, observam-se contributos mais
claros para emprego e diversificação, com o enoturismo
como vetor estruturante; na Península de Setúbal, os efeitos
são mais contidos, condicionados por pressões periurbanas
e restrições de elegibilidade. A validação empírica mostra
um desempenho superior nas empresas beneficiárias e
informadas (Clusters 2–3), corroborando o papel moderador
do acesso à informação sobre o financiamento, enquanto
perfis sem apoio/informação não replicam esses ganhos. As
implicações práticas incluem integrar financiamento com
mentoria e assistência técnica, calibrar medidas ao contexto
territorial, priorizar a diversificação (enoturismo, canais
diretos e digitais), simplificar procedimentos e reforçar
instrumentos de cofinanciamento e qualificação. Conclui-se
que políticas sensíveis ao território e à informação
maximizam o impacto dos fundos, recomendando-se
monitorização orientada a resultados para retroalimentar o
desenho das medidas.
This thesis investigates the impact of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) on wine-sector companies in the Alentejo and the Setúbal Peninsula (2007–2020), analysing how public funding, in interaction with access to information, influences job creation, population retention, and business diversification. Methodologically, it adopts a mixed-methods approach: qualitative (interviews and documentary analysis) and quantitative (a questionnaire survey applied to the entire population of 268 firms), followed by empirical segmentation into three groups using the Two-Step Cluster algorithm (103, 94, and 56 units). The results indicate positive effects of the EAFRD, although territorially differentiated: in Alentejo, clearer contributions are observed in employment and diversification, with wine tourism emerging as a structuring vector; in the Setúbal Peninsula, the effects are more limited, constrained by periurban pressures and eligibility restrictions. The empirical validation shows superior performance among beneficiary and well-informed firms (Clusters 2–3), corroborating the moderating role of information access over funding, whereas profiles without support or information do not replicate these gains. Practical implications include integrating financial support with mentoring and technical assistance, tailoring measures to territorial contexts, prioritising diversification (wine tourism, direct and digital channels), simplifying administrative procedures, and strengthening co-financing and qualification instruments. It concludes that policies sensitive to territory and information maximise fund impact, and a results-oriented monitoring framework is recommended to inform policy redesign.
