Resumo(s)
Os sítios de arte rupestre do Vale do Côa situam-se ao longo das margens do rio Côa,
sobretudo no município de Vila Nova de Foz Côa, estendendo-se por uma área de 20
mil hectares que abrange os municípios vizinhos de Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo,
Meda e Pinhel, no distrito da Guarda. A arte rupestre do Côa, inscrita na lista do
Património Mundial da UNESCO desde 1998, foi uma das mais importantes
descobertas arqueológicas do Paleolítico Superior, em finais do século XX, em toda
a Europa. Esta descoberta, aquando da construção da barragem na foz do rio Côa, no
ano 1994, veio pôr em causa o conhecimento existente, uma vez que se julgava que
a Arte Paleolítica era exclusiva de cavernas. Este santuário arcaico ganhou
rapidamente notoriedade e com o empenho da sociedade civil e cientifica foi possível
suspender a construção da barragem dando lugar à criação do Parque Arqueológico
Vale do Coa, no ano de 1996. Em 1998, o Comité do Património Mundial da
UNESCO, inscreveu a arte paleolítica do Vale do Côa na lista Património Mundial
da Humanidade. Em 2010, foi criado o Museu do Côa, um equipamento
indispensável à promoção do turismo e do lazer de atividades culturais, dando mais
notoriedade ao território e captando novos turistas.
Volvidas duas décadas, com este estudo, pretendeu-se conhecer qual o impacto da
atribuição pela UNESCO do galardão de Património Mundial ao Vale do Côa, na
perceção dos residentes.
Para isso, foram inquiridos os residentes e os comerciantes de dois municípios para
se aferir a existência dos diferentes tipos de impactos, nomeadamente económicos,
socioculturais e ambientais.
Observou-se que, em relação aos residentes, há claras diferenças na perceção dos
impactos associados à atribuição do galardão e até na perceção dos investimentos feitos
na região para atrair visitantes, verificando-se que os inquiridos de Pinhel atribuem um
maior impacto do que os de Vila Nova de Foz Côa na maioria dos indicadores
considerados.
The rock art sites of the Côa Valley lie along the banks of the Côa River, above all in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, extending over an area of 20,000 hectares that covers the neighbouring municipalities of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Meda and Pinhel, in the Guarda district. Côa rock art, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1998, was one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the Upper Palaeolithic at the end of the 20th century throughout Europe. This discovery, when the dam was built at the mouth of the Côa River in 1994, questioned the existing knowledge, since it was believed that Paleolithic Art was restricted to caves. This archaic shrine quickly gained notoriety and with the commitment of civil and scientific society it was possible to suspend the construction of the dam, leading to the creation of the Côa Valley Archaeological Park in 1996. In 1998, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, inscribed the Palaeolithic art of the Côa Valley in the list World Heritage of Humanity. In 2010, the Côa Museum was inaugurated, an indispensable infrastructure for the promotion of tourism and leisure of cultural activities, allowing the territory to have more visibility and to attract new tourists. Two decades later, with this study, it is intended to know the impact of the UNESCO World Heritage award to the Côa Valley, in the residents’ perception. To this end, residents and merchants from two municipalities were surveyed to ascertain the existence of different types of impacts, namely economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts. It was observed that, in relation to the residents, there are clear differences in the perception of the impacts associated with the attribution of the award and even in the perception of the investments made in the region to attract visitors, and it is verified that the respondents of Pinhel attribute a greater impact than the ones from Vila Nova de Foz Côa in most of the considered indicators.
