Abstract

A distância ao principal centro das cidades tem sido, desde o contributo teórico de Alonso, a característica que é recorrentemente utilizada para explicar o preço de dada habitação. Estudos mais recentes vieram demonstrar que com o surgimento de cidades multipolares, com redes de transportes complexas e uma organização territorial socialmente diferenciada, outros fatores podem assumir-se como igualmente relevantes para a determinação do preço da habitação. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar-se se a distância ainda é um fator explicativo do preço das rendas na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa e quais outros fatores emergem como igualmente importantes. Adicionalmente, avalia-se a não linearidade desta relação através da aplicação da técnica econométrica proposta por Hansen. Através deste método concluímos que na área metropolitana de Lisboa existem segmentos de procura distintos e quando mais nos vamos afastando do centro mais o preço vai diminuindo de forma menos acentuada. Os resultados mostram que, tal como a distância, as características fisicas, a localização e outras características socio-económicos da freguesia interessam na definição do preço da habitação. Por fim, este trabalho discute como este método por ser melhorado e contribuir para a existência de melhores políticas públicas, em particular a aplicada à escala urbana.
