| Resumo: | The study consists in an analysis of researches with tourism issues, in Master s and Doctoral
level, investigating their epistemological trends, regarding the type of study that is being
produced and the methods used. It is characterized as exploratory, documental and
bibliographical, having undertaken a cross-sectional study which covers the period from 2007 to
2011. It analyzes the context of academically production in tourism, the nature of these
researches, the methodological aspects adopted in these theses and dissertations, the
philosophical inclinations and the coherence and contribution of the same. This research uses, the
Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the secretariats of the Academic Centers
of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) as means to collect data. It employs
the technique of sampling by judgment and undertakes the research in various Academic Centers
in UFRN, using the method of content analysis. It shows that, from the 643 studies analyzed, 43
of them have themes related to tourism, which characterized this study sample. This study
realizes that PPGA is the largest producer of researches on tourism issues, ahead of PPGTur,
which ranks the third position, in this aspect. Also realizes that all surveys analyzed are crosssectional
and the theme further investigated, with 21% of the sample, is related to the marketing
aspects of tourism, with the theme Directors of Hotels and Restaurants (DHR) . This research
demonstrates that all sample surveys make use of interviews, and these are, mostly, structured.
Also realizes that most of these studies, with 21% of the sample, employ the method of content
analysis. The references in Portuguese are surveyed about five times more than the ones in other
languages. It estimates that more than half of the sample is characterized as positivist, associated
with aspects of functionalism. A minority of 21% of these researches seeks to identify and
recommend solutions to the tourism issues, or even represent part of them. This research
concludes that the studies in tourism are mostly unifocal, being driven by issues related to the
touristic trade. PPGTur produces a number still unrepresentative of studies. The theses and
dissertations of the sample are limited and/or unable to analyze the changes of the phenomenon
caused by the time. The studies from the sample present criteria and make use of other methods
and techniques to associate with the interviews and content analysis to obtain more solid and
reliable data and results. They use a low number of references in languages other than
Portuguese. Most of these studies, characterized as positivist-functionalist, investigate the
functioning, planning, coordination and expectations in organizations, leaving aside other issues,
also relevant for tourism. The number of studies aimed at identifying solutions to the problems of
tourism, or that even represents part of them, is not expressive |
