Sustentabilidade nos sistemas turísticos como paradigma investigativo: dimensões e inter-relações. 2021. 206f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Turismo) - Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2021.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/47593The present study aims to analyze sustainability in tourism systems as an investigative paradigm, starting from the hypothesis that this paradigm observes the perspective of mutability that constitutes the phenomenon of tourism. It considers the context and markers of applicability of the research, as there is a rupture in the global dynamics of tourism (Covid-19). This implies the ability to measure a new dynamic, which forces the destinations to "reconfigurations" - OMT (2020). Given these implications, the sustainable "decade of action" marker by the 2030- UN Agenda (2020). With this, it is problematized: How the dimensions and interrelations of sustainability in tourism systems are configured as investigative paradigms. This is a qualitative research, submitted to the hermeneutic method (Gadamer, 1998), which is limited by aligning the corpus markers of knowledge in tourism (sustainability) and emergence of tourism systems between 1960 and 2020. The empirical field consists of primary data originated from the indexing and codification of the investigated systems through their sustainability facets and secondary data. Extracted by the collection of annual observatory of the OMT (2020), resulting in the corpus of eighty-five documents - general communications and sustainability actions. As for the technical procedures adopted, documentary analysis and discourse analysis - current French Pêcheux procedures (1997), supported by the Software Iramuteq version 0.7. Results: in relation to the organization and scope of the facets of sustainability, except for the Cuervo system (1967) the investigated systems are based on the facets: economic, social, environmental and cultural. Thus, sustainability in tourism systems is characterized by the transcendence of these facets between systems. By analyzing this characterization by the evolution of the discussion of sustainability in the delimited knowledge platforms, we conclude the unfolding of these facets evolving in part of the systems. Moreover, when verifying this evolution with the demands of sustainability, there are other limitations in the scope of these systems. As for the social and/or technological facets, it is specified the unfolding of this facet by the Cuervo system (1967) in relation to human rights - international jurisdiction. With this, we observe the demand for the "new international code to provide greater legal protection for tourists" OMT (2020). Other indicators of the social facet, in relation to the human dimension, this scope was incorporated by Molina (1991) in the phenomenological perspective and in 2017 by the Beni ecosystem (complexity theory). This social unfolding - raises the expectation for the multiple indicators raised in this study, corroborates with the perspective of tourism as a social practice, in the direction "of sustainable tourism in its restart" (OMT,2020). In this direction, the System of Sessa (1988) by intertwining the economic facet with the social facet, opportunistics the perspective of the transfer of income flow reflecting regional development, job creation and rebalancing. This is in line with sustainability indicators. It should also be emphasized the cultural facet of the Cuervo system (1967) that unfolds for - tourism as a promoter of communication, in this sense, tourism as a platform of the culture of sustainability OMT (2020). It is concluded the partial applicability of these systems in the face of the marker- decade sustainable action 2020 - 2030. This research contributes to the survey of predictive indicators in the direction of tourism as a sustainable socioeconomic practice.Acesso AbertoTurismoSustentabilidadeEpistemologia sistêmicaSistemas turísticosParadigma investigativomasterThesis
