Abstract(s)
A investigação baseada na prática requer interdisciplinaridade entre os vários domínios
científicos e bi-direcionalidade na comunicação entre sociedade e ciência. A pesquisa com base
na ação participativa e no envolvimento das comunidades são atuais paradigmas da investigação.
Macau é uma região urbana densamente povoada. As áreas verdes são escassas, o contacto das
crianças e da população em geral com a natureza, com a agricultura e com a produção de alimentos,
é praticamente inexistente.
O presente trabalho seguiu uma metodologia de estudo de caso e foi realizado com base na
realidade da Escola Portuguesa de Macau, Região Administrativa Especial de Macau. De modo a
conhecer as motivações e ideias da comunidade escolar, relativamente a um potencial projeto de
agricultura urbana na escola, efetuou-se um questionário a 177 estudantes, com idades entre 6 e
15 anos, e a 23 professores.
Deste modo, a presente tese de mestrado com tema "Agricultura Urbana no contexto
educativo: a horta escolar na Escola Portuguesa de Macau" integra agricultura urbana, produção
de alimentos, educação e consciencialização ambiental.

Research based on participatory action and community involvement are today's paradigms of research. Macau is a densely populated urban region. Green areas are scarce, the contact of children and general population with nature, agriculture and food production is practically non-existent. The present work followed a methodology of case study and was carried out based on the reality of the Portuguese School of Macao, Special Administrative Region of Macao. To find out the motivations and ideas of the scholar community, in relation to a potential urban agriculture project in the school, a questionnaire was carried out to 177 students, with ages between 6 and 15 years, and 23 teachers. The present thesis "Urban Agriculture in educational context: school gardening in the Portuguese School of Macau" integrates urban agriculture, food production, education and environmental awareness.
