Trajetória sociotécnica da viticultura do pampa gaúcho: análise combinatória dos fatores multiníveis

Abstract

The present work aims to identify the combinations of the determining factors of the socio-technical trajectory of Pampa Gaúcho wines. Within this transition analysis will be used the theoretical approach Multilevel Perspective (PMN) to proceed with the understanding of the adoption of viticulture, based on the recent study by Santos (2019), which was identified factors conditioning the wine transition in Campaign Gaucha. With the purpose of advancing the knowledge generated by Geels (2002) and Santos (2019), the methodology was improved so that the factors and combinations that most favored the transition of the socio-technical regime of viticulture could be determined. In this sense, we used the Comparative Qualitative Analysis Method - QCA. After presenting the theoretical framework, two new factors were added according to the levels of the multilevel perspective, in order to add efforts to the theory already existing in transition studies. To meet the research objectives, data were collected through a structured questionnaire adapted from the study by Santos (2017). The interviews were applied to the viticulture actors of the Gaucho Campaign. The main causal conditions that contributed to the evolution of the viticulture phases in the region were identified. The factor that explains the difference between the stabilization phase compared to the experimentation phase in the trajectory of the Rio Grande do Sul wine region was that of immigration in the region of the Rio Grande do Sul campaign. In the comparative analysis between the resistance phase and the stabilization phase, the explanatory variables according to the research data were: Deep Cultural Patterns; Social values; Infrastructure - Logistics; Reconfiguration - Knowledge Transfer and Individual Barriers. Finally, it can be concluded that there is a lack of coordination of the actors of the network, because only one factor corresponds to the internal factors that determine the trajectory in viticulture in the Gaucho Campaign.
