Abstract(s)
Nas últimas décadas, os fenómenos naturais têm aumentado significativamente, originando cenários de desastre que afetam pessoas em diversas partes do mundo. Uma das consequências mais imediatas e visíveis destes eventos é a destruição parcial ou total das habitações, deixando milhares de pessoas desalojadas e em situação de vulnerabilidade extrema. As situações de crise resultantes de fluxos migratórios, guerras e outros fatores, têm igualmente desencadeado situações de emergência e carência de soluções de alojamento. Nestas circunstâncias, o alojamento temporário assume-se como uma das respostas para garantir abrigo, proteção e dignidade, funcionando como elemento estruturante para a recuperação do quotidiano das populações afetadas.
Apesar da sua importância, os alojamentos temporários têm revelado varias limitações. Muitas das soluções implementadas baseiam-se em estruturas estandardizadas e de produção em massa, concebidas com lógicas militarizadas. Este tipo de abordagem, embora eficiente na resposta imediata, ignora fatores culturais, sociais e ambientais, resultando em espaços desumanizados, pouco adaptáveis e frequentemente rejeitados pelas comunidades. Além disso a ausência de planeamento para o seu destino final contribuem para o desperdício de recursos e para impactos ambientais significativos.
A presente dissertação analisa de forma crítica estes desafios, identificando os principais problemas associados às soluções de alojamento temporário habitualmente adotadas e ilustrando as suas consequências na vida das populações deslocadas. Paralelamente, explora alternativas que privilegiam a sustentabilidade, a eficiência de recursos e a integração cultural, apresentando estratégias que incluem a reutilização, a reconversão e a aplicação de princípios de economia circular. Estas abordagens permitem não apenas responder à emergência, mas também criar soluções mais duradouras, que podem ser integradas nos processos de reconstrução e desenvolvimento comunitário.
In recent decades, natural phenomena have increased significantly, giving rise to disaster scenarios that affect people in different parts of the world. One of the most immediate and visible consequences of these events is the partial or total destruction of housing, leaving thousands of people displaced and in situations of extreme vulnerability. Crises resulting from migratory flows, wars, and other factors have likewise triggered emergencies and acute shortages of adequate housing solutions. In such circumstances, temporary housing emerges as one of the key responses to ensure shelter, protection, and dignity, serving as a structuring element for the recovery of daily life among affected populations. Despite its importance, temporary housing has revealed several limitations. Many of the solutions implemented are based on standardized, mass-produced structures, often designed under militarized logics. While this approach may be efficient in providing an immediate response, it overlooks cultural, social, and environmental factors, resulting in dehumanized spaces that are poorly adaptable and frequently rejected by communities. Furthermore, the absence of planning for their final destination contributes to resource wastage and significant environmental impacts. This dissertation critically examines these challenges, identifying the main problems associated with the temporary housing solutions commonly adopted and illustrating their consequences in the lives of displaced populations. At the same time, it explores alternatives that prioritize sustainability, resource efficiency, and cultural integration, presenting strategies that include reuse, reconversion, and the application of circular economy principles. These approaches not only address emergency needs but also create more lasting solutions that can be integrated into reconstruction processes and community development.
