Abstract(s)
O presente projeto teve como principal foco a Agenda 21 Local, a qual deve ser adotada pelos municípios, com intuito de melhorar a qualidade de vida de cada cidadão, satisfazendo as suas necessidades sem comprometer as gerações vindouras.
A participação e o envolvimento da comunidade é a chave para alcançar o desenvolvimento sustentável. Por isso, é fundamental obter a colaboração ativa dos agentes dinamizadores da comunidade, para que contribuam e se envolvam na tomada de decisão local, de forma a criar estratégias a longo prazo.
O concelho de Alfândega da Fé está marcado, atualmente, por problemas de desertificação humana, com um índice de envelhecimento populacional elevado, dificuldade em fixar os jovens e com escassos recursos económicos. Porém, é também um concelho com um património natural e cultural interessante, com potencialidades para assegurar uma boa qualidade de vida a quem escolha ali viver. Estas características remetem para a necessidade de criação de novas estratégias, que inflitam as fragilidades reconhecidas e contribuam para um desenvolvimento sustentável e harmonioso, o que pode ser alcançado com a adoção dos parâmetros de uma Agenda 21 Local.
Foi com base nesta questão, essencialmente prática, que se desenvolveu este projeto, ao longo de dois semestres, no Município de Alfândega da Fé. Neste trabalho foram identificados as principais potencialidades e fragilidades do concelho, assim como as oportunidades e as ameaças que se lhe apresentam, e, com base nesses elementos, estabeleceu-se um primeiro Plano de Ação, o qual irá posteriormente ser colocado à discussão pública, antes de entrar em vigor. Para a sua concretização foram envolvidos os líderes políticos, a comunidade e os principais agentes locais.
Este projeto consistiu, assim, num processo dinâmico, que pretendeu alertar para a necessidade de existirem novas dinâmicas territoriais, que levem à adoção de um conjunto de estratégias promotoras da sustentabilidade local, a longo prazo.
Por fim, espera-se que estes resultados contribuam para o aperfeiçoamento teórico e metodológico de novos estudos, procurando disseminar a experiência e aumentar o número de Agenda 21 Local aprovadas e em execução.
