Adaptação da Metodologia SBTool Geral para Edifícios de Turismo

A nível mundial, a população em geral preocupa-se cada vez mais com o ambiente e com os problemas graves que lhe surgem associados. De forma a reduzir os impactes, foram desenvolvidos métodos de avaliação no que concerne à sustentabilidade. O setor turístico é uma das atividades que causa elevados impactes ambientais e, por isso, é importante a aplicação destas metodologias de modo a diminuir ou mesmo eliminar as consequências nefastas para o ambiente. Atualmente, não só existem preocupações a nível ambiental como também a nível económico e sociocultural. Assim e pelo atrás exposto, surgiu a ideia de adaptar a metodologia SBTool, desenvolvendo-a para classificar os edifícios turísticos relativamente à sua sustentabilidade, utilizando o triângulo do desenvolvimento sustentável que consiste nas três vertentes já referidas. Esta metodologia pretende avaliar os hotéis urbanos com aproximadamente 4* durante a fase de operação. Nesta dissertação, pretende-se ter em conta essa avaliação tripartida, bem como sensibilizar os intervenientes do mercado da construção de edifícios turísticos em Portugal e ajudar a implementar políticas e soluções mais adequadas para a construção e utilização destes edifícios.

With little or no reflection on managerial communication inferred that subordinates should not absorb the message completely, a phenomenon that can not be responsible for the complete fulfillment thereof. Moreover, it was realized that the organization studied did not plan your communication, since, yet the views as a strategic tool to achieve your goals
