Description
Abstract
Desde el punto de vista del sector turístico, el conocimiento científico de las alteraciones pro-
ducidas en el clima y de los impactos sectoriales derivados se configura como un aspecto clave
para el desarrollo de las políticas de adaptación y mitigación del cambio climático. Sin embargo,
todo ello resulta insuficiente si no va acompañado del conocimiento de las actitudes públicas,
creencias y percepciones del riesgo que muestran los diferentes actores interesados. Apoyándose
en una metodología mixta que incluye el enfoque cuantitativo y el cualitativo, este artículo
explora la percepción del riesgo asociado al cambio climático que presentan actores clave del
turismo rural. La aproximación planteada ha permitido conocer cómo se perciben los impactos
del cambio climático, sus posibles repercusiones en los negocios de turismo rural y las respues-
tas locales de adaptación desarrolladas hasta el momento. La investigación también ha permitido
detectar barreras subjetivas a las acciones de adaptación que podrían dificultar la lucha frente
al fenómeno. Desde el punto de vista geográfico, la investigación se acota al Alt Empordà, una
comarca catalana situada en el extremo nororiental de la conocida marca turística Costa Brava.
ABSTRACT From the point of view of tourism, scientific knowledge of the alterations in climate and consequent sector impacts is set up as a key issue for the development of policies for adap- tation and mitigation of climate change. However, all this is insufficient unless it is accom- panied by the knowledge of public attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of risk showing the different stakeholders. This paper explores, based on a mixed methodology that it includes quantitative and qualitative approach, the perception of risk associated with climate change that present key actors in rural tourism. The proposed approach has allowed knowing how the impacts of climate change, its potential impacts on rural tourism businesses and local adaptation responses developed so far are perceived. Research has also enabled to detect subjective barriers to the adaptation actions that could hinder the fight against the phenome- non. From a geographical point of view, research is focused in Alt Empordà, a Catalan small region located in the northeast of the well-known Costa Brava tourism brand.
