Os Açores são um arquipélago português, em que predomina a atividade agrícola, nomeadamente, a pecuária. O objetivo deste trabalho é definir o perfil dos 150 agricultores Terceirenses, pela disposição a pagar por terem uma melhoria na qualidade. Para tal recorre-se à análise cluster (método Ward) para identificar as principais caraterísticas diferenciadoras os grupos, de modo, a permitir apoiar a decisão dos agricultores. Obtiveram-se 4 clusters, em que as características usadas para a sua diferenciação. Numa primeira parte, faz-se a caraterização geral das características agrícolas dos agricultores da amostra, depois apresentam-se a metodologia e os principais resultados. O cluster 1 era composto por 73 agricultores (48,7% do total de agricultores inquiridos), dos quais a maior parte (97,3% tinha até ao terceiro ciclo de escolaridade, e 57,5% tinham idades entre os 26 e 45 anos de idade e 73 agricultores tinham mais do que 1500 € por mês. O cluster 2, composto por 5 agricultoras, que estavam dispostas a contribuir, em média, para a melhoria da qualidade de água 9,60 €, tinham idades entre os 26 e 45 anos; todas com mais do que o primeiro ciclo, em que 40% delas tinha o segundo ciclo. A dimensão média do agregado familiar era de 3,6 elementos e, e 80% delas auferiam mais do que 1500 € por mês. O cluster 3 era constituído por seis agricultoras, que estavam dispostas a pagar para terem uma água de melhor qualidade. Todas as agricultoras tinham idades no intervalo de 26 a 45 anos, e tinham um nível de escolaridade superior ao primeiro ciclo, a dimensão média do agregado familiar era de 2,5 elementos, todas as agriculturas auferia mais do que 2000 €. O cluster 4, constituído por 66 inquiridos, estavam dispostos a pagar pela melhoria da água 12,47€, eram exclusivamente agricultores, em que 84.8% (56) tinham idades entre os 26 e 45 anos, todos tinham mais do que o primeiro ciclo, e 34,8% tinham o ensino secundário. A maior parte destes agricultores (83.3%) auferiam por mês mais de 1500 € mensais. De um modo geral, constata-se uma visão utilitarista da água, pelos agricultores Terceirenses inquiridos.
ABSTRACT: The Azores Island are a Portuguese “archipelago”, in which the agricultural activity predominates, namely, the cattle raising. The objective of this work is to define the profile of the 150 Terceiran farmers, by the willingness to pay for having an improvement in quality. Cluster analysis (Ward method) is used to identify the main differentiating characteristics of the groups, in order to support farmers' decision. We obtained 4 clusters, in which the characteristics used for their differentiation. In a first part, the general characterization of the agricultural characteristics of the farmers of the sample is made, then the methodology and the main results are presented. Cluster 1 consisted of 73 farmers (48.7% of the total surveyed farmers), of which the majority (97.3% had completed the third cycle of schooling, and 57.5% were between 26 and 45 years of age and 73 farmers had more than € 1500 per month.The cluster 2, composed of 5 female farmers, who were willing to contribute, on average, to the improvement of water quality € 9.60, were aged between 26 and 45 years, all with more than the first cycle, with 40% of them having the second cycle.The average household size was 3.6, and 80% of them earned more than 1500 € per month. Cluster 3 consisted of six women farmers, who were willing to pay for improved water quality. All women farmers ranged in age from 26 to 45 years old, had a higher education level than the first cycle, average household was 2.5 elements, all the agriculture would earn more than The cluster 4, made up of 66 respondents, were willing to pay for the improvement of water € 12.47, were exclusively farmers, where 84.8% (56) were between the ages of 26 and 45, all had more than than the first cycle, and 34.8% had secondary education. Most of these farmers (83.3%) received more than € 1,500 per month per month. In general, there is a utilitarian view of water by the Terceirenses farmers surveyed.
