Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify the dimensions and facets of cities' personality in the Brazilian context. For this, a survey was performed electronically with a sample of 402 respondents. Four cities were evaluated: Curitiba, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador. The results indicated four dimensions of cities' characterization: Empathy, Balance, Functionality and Charm, plus ten facets of personality: Amazing, Diplomatic, Full of Energy, Mystic, Prudent, Quiet, Determined, Pragmatics, Fascinating and Elegant, with highlights for specific city. The associations found in the study may indicate ways to explore the contents of the communication of these places, in order to offer strategic reinforcement regarding the favorable and consistent associations related for each destination.
