Resumo(s)
O envelhecimento e os efeitos daí decorrentes como o isolamento e a dependência, conjugados com a ausência de apoio familiar e a insuficiência de recursos económicos, despertam o interesse da comunidade nas instituições de solidariedade social, atendendo à função de apoio social que desempenham, particularmente aos grupos mais vulneráveis, designadamente à população idosa. Daí que, pela relevância que assumem estas instituições no contexto da proteção social em Portugal, importa que as mesmas sejam sustentáveis.
Neste contexto, desenvolvemos o presente estudo com o objetivo de identificar os fatores que condicionam a sustentabilidade social, cultural e económica e financeira das instituições de solidariedade social e analisar de que forma estas instituições poderão otimizar os recursos de que dispõem, de modo a satisfazer as necessidades emergentes da população idosa, circunscrevendo-se às instituições particulares de solidariedade social (IPSS) do concelho de Vila Velha de Ródão.
Da análise da informação recolhida, constatámos que as instituições de solidariedade social desenvolvem, em boa medida, práticas sustentáveis enquadradas na literatura da especialidade, mas, no que respeita à captação de recursos financeiros, tal prática está prejudicada pela debilidade da economia local, o que, conjugado com as características do território, é suposto que a sustentabilidade das instituições dependa do apoio do público.
Ageing and its consequences, such as isolation and dependence, together with a lack of family support or insufficient financial resources, stimulate the community's interest in social solidarity institutions, in light of the social support they provide, particularly for the most vulnerable groups, including the elderly. The significant role played by these institutions in social protection in Portugal means, therefore, that it is important for them to be sustainable. In this context, this study aims to identify the factors that affect the social, cultural, and economic and financial sustainability of social solidarity institutions and examine how they can make the best use of the resources they have available so as to satisfy the emerging needs of the elderly population. The study was limited to private social solidarity institutions (IPSS) in the municipality of Vila Velha de Ródão. The analysis of the information gathered revealed that social solidarity institutions largely use sustainable practices defined in specialist literature. However, their ability to raise funds is harmed by the fragile situation of the local economy. This, and the characteristics of the area, means that the institutions' sustainability relies on public support.
