- Behavioural mapping of urban green spaces users: methodological procedures applied to Corujeira Garden (Porto, Portugal)Publication . Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Fernandes, Cláudia; Patoilo Teixeira, Catarina; Dias, Ricardo; Seixas, Paulo Castro; Barros, Nelson; Vilaça, Helena; Maia, Rui LeandroCurrent evidence states that urban green spaces (UGS) increase the quality of urban settings, enhance local resilience and promote sustainable lifestyles, being recognized as an effective nature-based-solution. The socioecological research, by combining social and ecological variables, is useful to fully explore Humans-Nature interactions. The direct observation of behaviours is a mobilized technique in socioecological research. However, two particular aspects of this technique should be further explored: the relationship of individuals with the UGS and the mapping of the behaviours that configure this relationship. The present work describes the methodological steps of the Behavioural Mapping (BM) application in a public garden located in the city of Porto regarding users’ behaviours. Preliminary findings identified that the poor quality of both urban furniture and maintenance of natural elements in the garden strongly discouraged a full enjoyment of the UGS. Also, warm areas with trees are usually preferred by users. The absence of well-maintained natural elements does not allow full fruition of the UGS. Based on these findings, BM can be useful for both socioecological research and supporting people-centred and place-based public policies. BM can support landscape planners and decision-makers with empirical evidence on the relationship between space design and its uses.
- Bioethical Reflections on the UN 2030 Agenda and its Repercussions for Teachers' HealthPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaThe goal of this study was to identify connections between bioethical principles, the goals set by the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the foundations for health promotion (HP), particularly when applied to university professors. In its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3—“to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”—the 2030 Agenda allows for a reflection on the connections between bioethics and HP. Bioethics and HP both value the interactions between and focus on individuals and, in this approach, the drawing of connections between these topics and the 2030 Agenda presents itself represents a way to stimulate and develop useful measures involving health, well-being, quality of life, and happiness. The results suggest that concepts such as respect for personal dignity, care, protection, sustainable actions, prosperity, peace, partnership, and solidarity were reported by professors surveyed on these topics, with impact on seeking health-related measures able to promote individual and collective well-being, quality of life, inclusion and social justice, principle which are related to bioethics and HP, and the foundations of which are clearly correlated with the 2030 Agenda.
- Building Bridges Between Bioethics and Ecological Models of Health Promotion in Higher EducationPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaUniversities are essential institutions for health promotion (HP). Bioethics, as a transversal discipline, seeks to analyze and systematize these values in an ethical way, strengthening the synergy between health and health care. The ecological models are a possibility to develop health actions in a holistic, sustainable and salutogenic way, stimulating positive aspects related to ethics, well-being, quality of life and happiness. Research with exploratory-descriptive methodology and quantitative-qualitative approach. Sample: University teachers from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, random sample, probabilistic for convenience, CI= 95%, n = 1400 persons. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Hospital de Clínicas of Porto Alegre (HCPA), Brazil, Ethics Committee of the University Fernando Pessoa (UFP), Porto, Portugal. Universities act as places for research and learning to strengthen the activities of HP. Bioethics and ecological models aim at building qualified actions in health, defending and promoting well-being, cohesion, inclusion, sustainability and social justice, with due conceptual clarity.
- Building bridges between indigenous peoples and geotourism activity: the case of the raposa ethnoregion in Roraima, BrazilPublication . Saldanha Veras, Ana Sibelonia; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Barros, Nelson; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaThe state of Roraima in Brazil registers a significant number of Indigenous People (IP), distributed throughout a diversity of ethnoregions. Among them, the municipalities of Amajari, located near the region of the riverbed of Baixo Cotingo, and in the upper Ajarani River, stand out. These IP include the ethnic groups of Macuxi, Ingaricó, Taurepang and Wapixanas, which together aggregate a culturally well-developed contingent. In the municipality of Mucajaí lives another IP community, the Yanomami, recognized as the most isolated IP from South America. These communities live in two regions with potential for geotourism activity: the Extreme North Tourist Region of Brazil, covering an environment which is extremely rich in diversity of landforms, such as hills, plateaus, and valleys, and the Roraima Tourist Region in the Amazon Savanna forests. The objective of this research is to present the Macuxi and Yanomami communities in the region, which are engaged with ethnic tourism activities, highlighting their skills in promoting sustainable tourism management, namely geotourism. The methodology is qualitative exploratory, based on literature and document research in the division of ecotourism in the Mucajaí State Department for Planning. This review work was carried out from June to August 2021. Among the distinct realities relating to the environment, the results indicate that the IP from the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land feel the need for training to better understand how to welcome the tourist, and, thus, attend the requirements of the Normative Instruction n. 03/2015, which establishes norms and guidelines regarding visitation activities for tourism purposes in indigenous lands (IL). The Yanomami indigenous community also seeks partnership with institutions, either under the form of events, workshops or meetings to conceptualize and carry out strategies allowing to structure the geotourism activity. Accordingly, tourism workshops were implemented, aiming to attend the planning and development of indigenous community tourism to offer a unique tourist experience, thus contributing to build bridges between the indigenous communities and the geotourism activity, in a broader context of the concept of sustainable development.

- Carvões portugueses: A revalorização moderna possível de um recurso geológico. O caso-de-estudo da Bacia Carbonífera do DouroPublication . Lemos de Sousa, M. J.; Rodrigues, Cristina; Diogo, Miguel Tato; Pinto de Jesus, A.; Mouraz Miranda, A.; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Oliveira, Gisela; Chaminé, H.I.; Dinis da Gama, C.; Arrais, C.M.Na sequência de uma síntese sobre as formações datadas do Carbonífero presentes na Bacia Carbonífera do Douro e seu enquadramento geológico, os autores descrevem os estudos modernos, nomeadamente no domínio da estratigrafia efectuados na bacia. Após o fecho das minas de metantracites da bacia (1972 na área do Couto Mineiro de São Pedro da Cova e 1994 na área do Couto Mineiro do Pejão) desenvolveram-se outros importantes estudos, designadamente na área do Couto Mineiro do Pejão, relacionados com o fim da actividade mineira, nomeadamente nos domínios de subsidência mineira e afluxos de água e seus aspectos geológicos e hidrogeomecânicos, estudos estes de que se dá igualmente relato no presente trabalho. Por fim, apresenta-se o essencial do Projecto-Piloto COSEQ elaborado com vista a definir a possível revalorização, em termos modernos, das metantracites da Bacia Carbonífera do Douro como potencial meio de sequestração geológica de CO2. Com efeito, os carvões durienses constituem, hoje, um recurso geológico abandonado do ponto de vista mineiro tradicional.

- A cidade das crianças. Benefícios e oportunidades dos parques e jardins urbanosPublication . Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Dias, Ricardo Cunha; Seixas, Paulo CastroA grande questão, ou desafio, que se coloca no desenho de cidades inclusivas e sustentáveis é: até que ponto estes espaços têm em consideração as expetativas das crianças e se, quando planeados, mesmo em pequenas intervenções, contemplam os benefícios cientificamente comprovados na promoção do bem-estar físico e mental das mesmas. O texto apresenta uma breve incursão sobre as oportunidades e benefícios dos espaços verdes urbanos, além de elencar as inúmeras iniciativas e projetos que têm procurado trazer as crianças para o planeamento urbano.
- Climate change and gender-based violence: outcomes, challenges and future perspectivesPublication . Caridade, Sónia; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaClimate change (CC) is one of the most vehemently contested environmental debate of our time, but also a complex human problem with societal implications on several domains of life, being visible through extreme climate events such as drought and desertification, floods, forest fires and cyclones. These events frequently result in undeniable social, economic and environmental consequences, impacting more significantly on the most vulnerable populations. Gender is a differentiating variable within social vulnerability, addressed in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)5. The experiences of women and men during and after times of climate crisis are different, considering cultural norms and practices, work functions and access to security and protection resources. Women have experienced conditions of vulnerability in multiple spheres (e.g., monetary poverty, hunger, unemployment, under-education) and are also more vulnerable to extreme weather events, to their impacts, therefore triggering situations of violence. This chapter aims to review the relevant literature to better understand and demonstrate how the emerging CC around the world can contribute to promote gender-based violence (GBV) and, more specifically, how to address women vulnerability to violence within this specific scope. A cross-cutting gender approach aligned with resilience-building programmes is necessary, as well as the adoption of sustainable policies and practices to promote CC. It is essential that policymakers may consider the knowledge and experience of women in decision-making and in empowering women, favouring an intersectionality approach to obtain more effective interventions.
