Abstract(s)
O produto turístico de sol e mar é, hoje em dia, um dos principais atrativos de turistas
domésticos e estrangeiros em Portugal. A sua capital, Lisboa contempla extensas praias e zonas
costeiras que todos os anos albergam elevados milhares de pessoas e, assim sendo, torna-se
necessário monitorizar esta mobilidade em massa, que ultimamente resulta em impactos
ambientalmente nocivos, no geral, para o ambiente e em particular para as áreas protegidas que
representam em si um maior interesse turístico.
O conceito de capacidade de carga encerra em si um ponto de partida para minimizar estes
impactos, promovendo a sustentabilidade ambiental e estabelecendo um limite de visitantes que
uma determinada atração, região ou área, consegue suportar em diferentes níveis. O objetivo
deste estudo passa, por isso, pela definição de um limite de capacidade de carga turística para
a praia de Carcavelos, em Lisboa, que ali permita o desenvolvimento do turismo de uma forma
sustentável, tendo em atenção a sua fama e especial preferência junto dos turistas.
Numa ótica de integrar a evolução do estudo do conceito de capacidade de carga turística, esta
investigação relaciona o mesmo com a emergência das cidades inteligentes (smart cities), que
cada vez mais reúne significativos avanços no que diz respeito à pluralidade de estudos
científicos. A noção de inserção de novas tecnologias de informação surge como facilitador da
melhoria da precisão da definição de capacidade de carga, conjugando e processando grandes
quantidades de dados informativos ao nível da fixação humana nas zonas costeiras.
The sun and sea touristic product is nowadays one of the main attractions of domestic and foreign tourists in Portugal. Its capital, Lisbon, has many extensive beaches and coastal areas that embrace many thousands of people every year, and therefore it is necessary to monitor this mass mobility, which ultimately results in environmentally damaging impacts in general, and particularly for protected areas which are of greater tourist interest. The concept of carrying capacity represents a starting point on which to minimize these impacts, promoting environmental sustainability by establishing a limit of the number of visitors that a certain attraction, region, or area, can withstand at different levels. The main objective of this study is therefore to define a limit of touristic carrying capacity for Carcavelos beach, in Lisbon, so it can allow the development of tourism in a more sustainable way, considering its prestige and tourist’s special preference. Envisioning the study of the touristic carrying capacity’s evolution, this research links it with the emergence and empowerment of smart cities, which is increasingly bringing together significant improvements in the scientific studies field. The insertion of new information technologies emerges as a facilitator for improving carrying capacity’s definition accuracy, by combining and processing large amounts of informational data on human settlement in coastal areas.
