Abstract(s)
O turismo é uma atividade com relevância social por permitir, a par do repouso e do lazer, a ligação com diferentes culturas, pelo que deverá abranger toda a população, incluindo cidadãos com limitações. A promoção de uma política de turismo orientada neste sentido deve considerar a inclusão social e desenvolver estratégias que garantam a acessibilidade de todos os indivíduos. Em Portugal, embora se tenha verificado o desenvolvimento destas estratégias, os esforços parecem focar-se maioritariamente na pessoa com deficiência física, havendo escassez de medidas desenhadas para pessoas com outras limitações, nomeadamente os viajantes com Perturbação do Espectro do Autismo (PEA). O presente trabalho pretendeu alavancar o estudo da viabilidade da criação de um projeto de turismo inclusivo, desenhado especificamente para famílias com crianças com PEA. Para tal, procedeu-se à construção de um questionário que permitisse avaliar as intenções dos cuidadores de crianças com PEA, com foco nas suas motivações, preocupações e preferências relativamente a viagens de turismo e lazer, tendo como destino alvo a Região Autónoma dos Açores. A construção do questionário teve por base a Teoria do Comportamento Planeado, a qual equaciona comportamento humano como sendo guiado pela interação entre crenças sobre prováveis consequências do comportamento, crenças sobre expetativas normativas dos outros e crenças sobre a presença de fatores que podem facilitar ou impedir o desempenho do comportamento. Neste trabalho dá-se conta do racional subjacente ao processo de construção do questionário.
ABSTRACT: Tourism is an activity with social relevance as it allows, in addition to rest an leisure, the connection with different cultures, so it should insure the participation of the entire population, including citizens with limitations. The promotion of a tourism policy oriented in this sense must consider social inclusion and develop strategies that guarantee the accessibility of all individuals. In Portugal, although these strategies have been developed, efforts seem to focus mainly on people with physical disabilites, with a scarcity of measures designed for people with other limitations, namely travellers with Autism Scpetrum Disorder (ASD). The present work intended to study the feasibility of creating an inclusive tourism project, designed specifically for families with children with ASD. To this end, a questionnaire was built to assess the intentions of caregivers of children with ASD, focusing on their motivations, concerns and preferences regarding tourism and leisure trips, targeting, as a destination, the Autonomous region of the Azores. The construction of the questionnaire was based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, according to wich human behaviour is guided by the interaction between beliefs about probable consequences of behaviour, beliefs about normative expectations of others, and beliefs about the presence of factors that can facilitate or impede the behaviour´s performance. In this work, the rationale underlying the questionnaire construction process is presented.
