Abstract(s)
Este projeto de graduação analisa criticamente as Salas de Consumo Assistido (SCA) enquanto resposta de saúde pública em meio urbano e explora a sua articulação com a segurança urbana e com a perceção de (in)segurança por parte de residentes, utilizadores e atores institucionais. Partindo de uma revisão de literatura recente, clarificam-se conceitos como redução de riscos e minimização de danos, ambiente de risco e ordem pública, e sintetizam-se evidências sobre impactos das SCA na morbilidade e mortalidade associadas ao consumo, no recurso a serviços de emergência, no descarte de material e nas dinâmicas de espaço público. No plano nacional, enquadra-se o tema no quadro jurídico-político português e em orientações técnicas setoriais, realçando a necessidade de respostas territorializadas e intersetoriais.
Metodologicamente, propõe-se um desenho misto ancorado no Diagnóstico Local de Segurança (DLS), combinando indicadores objetivos (p. ex., ocorrências e registos administrativos relevantes, chamadas a serviços de emergência, padrões de uso do espaço) com indicadores subjetivos (p. ex., sentimento de segurança, experiências de vitimação, confiança institucional). O plano empírico integra análise documental e estatística descritiva, um inquérito de perceção aplicado à população residente/utilizadora da área de intervenção e entrevistas semiestruturadas a atores-chave (decisores, profissionais e representantes da comunidade). São definidos procedimentos éticos de consentimento informado, anonimização e proteção de dados, e uma estratégia de triangulação que permita cruzar resultados, identificar convergências e explicar discrepâncias. Delimitam-se ainda a área de estudo, os critérios de inclusão temporal e espacial e as limitações previsíveis do desenho.
Espera-se produzir uma matriz de indicadores e um quadro de resultados esperados que apoiem a monitorização local e a avaliação formativa de respostas, permitindo: (i) compreender padrões de (in)segurança associados à presença e funcionamento de SCA; (ii) identificar fatores contextuais que potenciam benefícios e mitigam efeitos indesejados; e (iii) formular recomendações operacionais para políticas públicas baseadas em evidência e para modelos de governança colaborativa. O contributo central do trabalho reside na integração entre criminologia, saúde pública e políticas urbanas, oferecendo um protocolo metodológico replicável que pode apoiar decisões informadas sobre a implementação ou ajuste de SCA em contextos urbanos específicos.
This graduation project offers a critical analysis of Drug Consumption Rooms (DCRs) as a public-health response in urban settings and examines how their implementation intersects with urban safety and with residents’, users’ and institutional actors’ perceptions of (in)security. Building on a recent literature review, it clarifies core concepts—harm reduction, the risk environment and public order—and synthesises evidence on DCR impacts on drug-related morbidity and mortality, emergency-service utilisation, the disposal of injecting equipment and public-space dynamics. In the Portuguese context, the project situates the topic within the relevant legal-policy framework and sectoral technical guidance, highlighting the need for territorialised, intersectoral responses. Methodologically, a mixed-methods design is proposed, anchored in the Local Safety Diagnosis (DLS) approach, combining objective indicators (e.g., relevant incident and administrative records, emergency call-outs, patterns of public-space use) with subjective indicators (e.g., perceived safety, victimisation experiences, institutional trust). The empirical plan comprises documentary analysis and descriptive statistics, a perception survey administered to residents/users in the intervention area, and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders (decision-makers, practitioners and community representatives). Ethical procedures cover informed consent, anonymisation and data protection, and a triangulation strategy is specified to cross-validate findings, identify convergences and explain discrepancies. The study area, temporal and spatial inclusion criteria, and expected limitations are explicitly defined. Expected outputs include a matrix of indicators and an anticipated-results framework to support local monitoring and formative evaluation, enabling: (i) an improved understanding of patterns of (in)security associated with the presence and operation of DCRs; (ii) the identification of contextual factors that enhance benefits and mitigate unintended effects; and (iii) the formulation of evidence-informed operational recommendations for public policy and collaborative governance models. The project’s central contribution lies in integrating criminology, public health and urban policy, delivering a replicable methodological protocol capable of informing decisions on the implementation or adjustment of DCRs in specific urban contexts.
