Resumo(s)
This research intends to measure the quality of life (QoL) perception, from the perspective
of residents and tourists towards Coimbra, a city with an important World Heritage Site, as classified
by UNESCO. In these times, preserving tangible and intangible heritage is so important for future
memories. Identifying the QoL perceptions through the eyes of residents and tourists allows the
improvement of the community well-being of the destination for both stakeholders. Starting from
this assumption, this study aims to: (i) measure the tourists’ and residents’ perceptions on quality
of life (QoL); (ii) analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on QoL perceptions, both from the
tourists’ and residents’ perspective. To achieve these objectives, a questionnaire was disseminated to
residents and tourists in two different phases, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results
show that in general, residents and tourists exhibited, in both periods, medium and high perceptions
of QoL, with an exception made for the Urban Issues domain that decreased even more during the
pandemic. Furthermore, the results show, for residents and tourists, that the perception of Urban
Issues, Way of Life, Community Pride and Awareness, Economic Strength, and Recreation Amenities impact
significantly and positively their Community Well-Being perception. New paths for academics and for
practitioners are presented at the end, as well as limitations and evidence for future research.
