O sucessivo envelhecimento da populaĆ§Ć£o associado a um ritmo de vida acelerado e exigĆŖncias crescentes Ć s famĆlias, estas, cada vez mais frequentemente, nĆ£o tĆŖm possibilidades de responder Ć s necessidades dos idosos, conduzindo Ć sua institucionalizaĆ§Ć£o. Esse processo leva o idoso ao abandono do seu espaƧo conhecido e vivido, em que o individuo sinta algumas dificuldades muitas vezes agravadas pelo facto de as tradicionais instituiƧƵes de acolhimento, nĆ£o terem respostas tĆ©cnicas e sociais apropriadas Ć s diferentes necessidades e condiƧƵes de cada idoso, que os conduz Ć exclusĆ£o social. Nos dias de hoje existe uma preocupaĆ§Ć£o em relaĆ§Ć£o ao papel do idoso ativo e como um cidadĆ£o a quem Ć© necessĆ”rio garantir plenitude dos seus direitos e assegurar dignidade e qualidade de vida. Com a procura da qualidade de vida surgiram associaƧƵes e clubes recreativos, em que ajudam a manter o idoso ativo fisicamente e mentalmente. Em Portugal sĆ£o conhecidas algumas iniciativas direcionadas para o turismo sĆ©nior, mas desconhece-se a existĆŖncia de este tipo de serviƧo para idosos institucionalizados, com caracterĆsticas e necessidades mais especĆficas. Surge assim a ideia do projeto, direcionado Ć realizaĆ§Ć£o de turismo para idosos autĆ³nomos que residem em lares de terceira idade e frequentam os centros de dias para proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida e inclusĆ£o na sociedade. Escolheu-se o Distrito da Guarda como ponto de partida para este projeto, nĆ£o sĆ³ por conveniĆŖncia da investigadora mas sobretudo por pertencer a uma das regiƵes mais envelhecidas de Portugal.
O desenvolvimento do projeto passou por um conjunto de etapas, comeƧando pela identificaĆ§Ć£o dos problemas e diagnĆ³stico da situaĆ§Ć£o, em que se procurou ter uma visĆ£o mais abrangente e teĆ³rica do fenĆ³meno e conhecer a realidade concreta onde se quer atuar. Numa 2ĀŖ etapa procedeu-se Ć definiĆ§Ć£o dos objetivos. Numa 3ĀŖ etapa realizou-se a seleĆ§Ć£o de estratĆ©gias atravĆ©s da articulaĆ§Ć£o entre os objetivos, recursos e potencialidades do meio de intervenĆ§Ć£o. Como ultima etapa surge a programaĆ§Ć£o das atividades relacionadas com os objetivos. Apesar de o projeto ser apresentado com base no Distrito da Guarda, a ideia base pode (e deve) ser replicada a outros territĆ³rios, o que poderĆ” permitir o desenvolvimento de mais sinergias entre os diversos atores envolvidos.
The consequent aging population associated with an accelerated pace of life and increasing demands for families, they increasingly often are unable to meet the needs of the elderly, leading to their institutionalization. This process leads to the abandonment of its old space known and lived, in which the individual feels some difficulties often compounded by the fact that traditional institutional care, not having appropriate technical and social responses to the different needs and conditions of each elderly who the result in social exclusion. Nowadays there is a concern about the role of the elderly active and as a citizen who is required to ensure fulfillment of their rights and ensure dignity and quality of life. With the demand for quality of life and recreational clubs, associations, which help keep the elderly active physically and mentally. In Portugal are known for some initiatives directed senior tourism, but it is unknown whether the existence of such a service to institutionalized elderly, with more specific characteristics and needs. Thus arises the idea of the project, directed the implementation of tourism for autonomous seniors residing in nursing homes and attending day centers to provide a better quality of life and inclusion in society. Guarda district was chosen as the starting point for this project, not only for convenience but rather the researcher to belong to one of the most aged of Portugal. The project has gone through a series of steps, starting with problem identification and diagnosis of the situation, which sought to have a more comprehensive view of the phenomenon and theoretical knowledge and the practical reality where they want to act. In 2nd stage proceeded to define the objectives. In Step 3 held strategy selection by linking objectives, resources and capabilities through intervention. As a last step comes the planning of activities related to the objectives. Although the project is presented based in the District of Guarda, the basic idea can (and should) be replicated to other territories, which may allow the development of more synergies between the various actors involved.
