O objectivo do estudo está ligado à hipótese teórica
de Vala (1988,1990) que considera que a representação
do Poder é reconstruída em função de dois conjuntos
de variáveis: as Identidades Sociais e as variáveis
relativas à inserção objectiva na estrutura social.
Subjacentes aos dois conjuntos de variáveis encontram-
se os posicionamentos ou pertenças - objectivas
e subjectivas - a diferentes categorias sociais que
são tomadas como indicadores de vertentes/domínios
da esfera social com relevância para a representação
do Poder. Assim, este estudo exploratório pretende
averiguar se as posições sociais objectivas e as
posições sociais subjectivas (Identidades Sociais) se
relacionam diferentemente com as dimensões do
Poder.
Neste estudo foram considerados 270 sujeitos residentes
no Concelho de Cascais e que votaram nas ú1-
timas eleições autárquicas, tendo-lhes sido aplicado
um questionário constituído por uma questão aberta
sobre o Poder Municipal e três questões fechadas, duas
relativas as Identidades Sociais e uma relativa Bs características
socio-demográficas dos sujeitos.
Para responder ao problema, foram realizadas três
Análises Factoriais de Correspondências Múltiplas
referentes às dimensões da Identidade dos sujeitos:
política, religiosa e local e as categorias correspondentes
à representação do Poder Municipal.
Os resultados apresentam um conjunto de crenças
associadas a representação do Poder municipal: a) os
sujeitos atribuem grande importância às Competências
do Poder Municipal, isto é, aos Serviços Municipalizados
e aos Aspectos Físicos e Culturais do Conceiho;
c) os sujeitos não concordam com a forma como as
funções são executadas e as decisões são tomadas no
Município de Cascais.
ABSTRACT------The objective of this study is linked to the theore - tical hypothesis of Vala (1988,1990) who assert that the reconstruction of the power representation depends on two groups of variables: the Social Identities and the variables about the objective integration on the social structure. ünderlying this variables are the belongings or positions - objectives and subjectives -to differents social categories, which represent various spillings of social sphere with importance to the repre - sentation of power. This exploratory study pretends to estimate if the social objective positions and the social subjective 1 08 positions (Social Identities) are differently related with the dimensions of the Municipal Power. In this study were considered 270 subjects who live in the Municipality of Cascais and had voted in the last autarchy elections. They answered to a questionnaire with one open question about the Municipal Power and tree close questions, two of them about Social Identities and the other about the social demographic aspects of themselves. To face the problem of this study, there were executed tree Factorial Analyses of Multiple Correspondentes concerning the dimensions of the Social identity - political, religious and local - and the categories corresponding to the Municipal Power representation. The results show a group of believes associated to the representation of Municipal Power: a) the subjects consider very important the Competencies of Municipal Power, i.e., the Municipalized Services and the Physical and Cultural Aspects of the Municipality; b) the subjects have a negative believe about who represent the Municipal Power; c) the subjects do not agree with the way the functions are executed and the decisions are taken by the Municipal Power in Cascais.
