This study examines the influence of residents' trust in government and organizing committee on their impact perceptions and support for a mega-event, namely 2014 FIFA World Cup. Findings suggest significant relationships between impact perceptions and support. While trust in government is found to be a significant determinant of impact perceptions, findings indicate no significant relationship between trust in government and support, which suggest that the relationship is mediated by impact perceptions. While a positive relationship between trust in organizing committee and positive impact perceptions is found, findings suggest no significant relationship between trust in organizing committee and negative impact perceptions. Trust in organizing committee is also found to have significant positive impact on support.
Resumo: O objetivo do estudo é discutir e problematizar o tema da epistemologia aplicada ao turismo. O artigo aborda a definição do termo epistemologia, o problema da construção do conhecimento em turismo, as escolas teóricas existentes e propõe a teoria crítica aos estudos turísticos. O avanço na produção científica do conhecimento em turismo, apesar de seu crescimento nos últimos anos, continua sendo um tema menosprezado. É considerado tema complexo, devido à necessidade de uma sólida reflexão filosófica e porque parece ter pouca aplicação prática, sendo extremamente teórico. O procedimento seguido é uma revisão crítica do termo epistemologia, com o propósito de analisar sua posição cientificista. Busca reconhecer as escolas que marcam a tendência analítica e a que se contrapõe a ela, a tendência histórica. A proposta aponta para o desenvolvimento de fundamentos críticos reflexivos, apresentando a teoria crítica como uma opção de construção transformadora da realidade e do conhecimento do turismo.Palavras-chave: Epistemologia; Teoria crítica; Teoria do turismo; Conhecimento turístico.
