As moedas locais beneficiam as comunidades? : o caso do MOR

Abstract

A presente dissertação enquadra-se no âmbito das iniciativas de inovação social, que surgem no sentido de colmatar e/ou mitigar desequilíbrios económicos, sociais e ambientais, que emergem da expansão da racionalidade económica. Dos diversos instrumentos de inovação social, elegeu-se como objeto de estudo as moedas locais, em particular, a moeda MOR criada pela associação A.Mor no concelho de Montemor-o-Novo. Pretendeu-se averiguar se existiam, ou não, vantagens para o concelho de Montemor-o-Novo com a implementação desta moeda, assim como verificar se a sua utilização desencadeou algum processo de transformação social na comunidade onde circula. Caso tal se verificasse, almejava-se compreender em que moldes tal transformação se processa e contribuir para o conhecimento e divulgação da realidade das moedas locais em Portugal. Adotou-se, do ponto de vista metodológico, a abordagem de investigação qualitativa, utilizando-se como técnicas de recolha de dados a análise documental, a observação direta e a entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que as vantagens da moeda local MOR são, atualmente, pouco expressivas. Trata-se de uma iniciativa recente, com pouca adesão da população e com poucos recursos e meios de divulgação. A verificar-se a continuidade da iniciativa e o concomitante aumento da adesão da população, espera-se uma maior consciencialização para o consumo local, o aumento do comércio, economia e desenvolvimento locais e, ainda, a construção de uma rede de apoio mútuo local. Este estudo revela também que ainda não há efeitos visíveis da utilização desta moeda que permitam falar em transformação social.

This dissertation falls within the scope of social innovation initiatives, initiatives that arise to adjust and/or mitigate economic, social and environmental imbalances emerging from economic rationality. Of the several instruments of social innovation, the author chose, as the object of this study, the local currencies, in particular the MOR currency, created by the A.Mor association in the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo. The intention was to investigate the advantages of implementing the MOR to the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo, to determine if a transformation in the local community is taking place, and if so, to understand how it happens, and finally, to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of the reality of local currencies in Portugal. From a methodological point of view, a qualitative research approach was adopted, using, as data collection techniques, document analysis, direct observation, and semi-structured interviews. The results show that the advantages of the local currency MOR are currently not very expressive. It is a recent initiative, with little adhesion from the population and few resources and means of dissemination. If the initiative continues and the population adheres to it, it is expected to raise awareness of local consumption, increase local trade, economy, and development, and build a local network of mutual support. This study also reveals that there are still no visible effects of the use of this currency that allow us to talk about social transformation.
