Resumo
O objecto de estudo definido para este trabalho é estruturado pelas relações
triangulares estabelecidas ao longo dos eixos do tempo e do espaço entre
desenvolvimento territorial, turismo e museus.
A problematização da geometria dessas relações levou ao estabelecimento de um
conjunto limitado de hipóteses de partida, as quais serviram de fio condutor ao
desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Duas hipóteses principais, embora de alcance
diferenciado, foram definidas:
a) Num plano mais geral - As orientações e as dinâmicas do desenvolvimento
territorial (nas suas vertentes económicas, políticas, sociais e culturais) têm
uma correspondência evidente nas transformações verificadas no âmbito do
turismo e dos museus, quer em termos conceptuais, quer ao nível das práticas.
b) Num plano mais específico - Os museus podem contribuir para a definição de
um novo modelo de desenvolvimento turístico com fortes implicações ao nível
da coesão territorial e social.
No sentido de melhor operacionalizar as hipóteses de partida, as mesmas foram
traduzidas num conjunto de questões que lhes estão intimamente associadas. Destas
salientamos: i) Quais as relações entre desenvolvimento, turismo e museus? No plano
teórico? Nas práticas? Ao longo do período analisado? Nas várias escalas de análise
consideradas? ii) Qual o papel específico dos museus no quadro de um novo modelo
de desenvolvimento turístico susceptível de promover o progresso e o bem-estar das
comunidades locais (o seu desenvolvimento) numa perspectiva integrada?
Neste quadro de referência, o trabalho foi organizado em três partes, a primeira,
incidindo sobre a discussão do triângulo turismo, museus e desenvolvimento
territorial em contextos teórico-conceptuais diferentes dos pontos de vista temporal e
espacial; a segunda, incidindo sobre o estudo de caso tendo em mente testar, ao nível
local e numa realidade concreta, a matriz teórica e conceptual entretanto estabelecidas; a terceira, incorporando uma junção das conclusões parciais obtidas
anteriormente e uma avaliação das hipóteses colocadas inicialmente.
Tendo por referência que o conceito de desenvolvimento tem experimentado
alterações de monta ao longo do tempo, desde uma dimensão inicial
fundamentalmente económica, até uma perspectiva holística de bem estar, que
engloba as vertente sociais e da justiça societária, a liberdade de acção e de
pensamento e a criatividade, definimos (...)
The object of the research underlying this thesis consists of the triangular relationships between territorial development, tourism and museums, as regarded from a both spatial and temporal perspective. The specific way in which the geometry of these relationships was conceptualised led to putting forth a limited set of provisional hypotheses, which in turn served as a road map in the subsequent development of the research. Two main hypotheses were thus laid out at two different levels: a) At a more general level - An obvious correspondence, both in conceptual terms and at the level of practices, can be found between the aims, dynamics and guidelines that drive and characterise territorial development (in its economic, political, social and cultural dimensions) and the changes that take place within the ambit of tourism and museums. b) At a more specific level - Museums can contribute significantly to the definition of a new model of tourism development, which has considerable implications in terms of social and territorial cohesion. In order to provide these research hypotheses with a workable operational content, they were then converted into a set of closely related research questions. Among these questions, it is especially important to highlight the following: (i) In what ways are development, tourism and museums related? Theoretically? At the level of practices? Throughout the period under analysis? At the various geographical scales considered herein? (ii) What specific roles do, and can, museums play in the context of a new model of tourism development that is better suited to promoting the progress and well-being of the local communities (i.e. their development) in an integrated perspective? In accordance with this framework, the research was divided into three different parts: the first one consisted of a discussion of the “tourism-museums-territorial development” triangle, as regarded from a both spatial and temporal perspective and in accordance with different theoretical-conceptual traditions; the second one relied on case-study methodology in order to test, at the local level and in a concrete context, the theoretical and conceptual framework previously put forth; and the third part consisted of an attempt to bring together the partial conclusions (...)
