Cadernos de Geografia https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia <p>The journal <em>Cadernos de Geografia</em> is published by the Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra.This journal was created in 1983 and is the outcome of what had been planned for some time, for a journal that can cover all the topics that geography encompasses.The first issue was dedicated to Professor Alfredo Fernandes Martins, a distinguished Geographer from Coimbra’s Geography group, who also dreamed of the Institute launching a publication. Works of great historical interest and geographical interest by this author were published in that issue.The <em>Cadernos de Geografia</em> has been published in three series, which are easily distinguished by their appearance. The second series also has four special issues, the first is a tribute to Professor J. M. Pereira de Oliveira while the others contain the works that were presented at the first three <em>Colóquios de Geografia de Coimbra</em>, since the communications from the subsequent issues were included in the issue of the relevant year.</p> en-US <p>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a&nbsp;<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_new">Creative Commons Attribution License</a>&nbsp;that allows sharing the work with recognition of authorship and initial publication in Antropologia Portuguesa journal.</p> adelia.nunes@fl.uc.pt (Adélia Nobre Nunes) rute.david@uc.pt (Rute David) Mon, 09 Jun 2025 11:10:53 +0100 OJS 3.2.1.1 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 A geografia portuguesa do tempo democrático [1974-2010] https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/17054 <p>Trata-se de um esboço histórico evocativo dos primeiros 35 anos da geografia e dos geógrafos do Portugal democrático, que foi apresentado na conferência da sessão de abertura do XII Colóquio Ibérico de Geografia, Porto, (2010). Neste texto pretendemos apontar as principais referências que marcam a evolução desta particular comunidade do conhecimento no período correspondente à implantação do regime democrático em Portugal. Isto é, desde 25 de Abril de 1974 até então, incluindo algumas das referências matriciais antecedentes, que nos ajudam a compreender melhor o contexto da sua afirmação. Através, sobretudo, da revisão dos principais textos analíticos, expressão de autoconsciência das referências e memórias dos seus protagonistas, sobretudo, académicos e professores, não pretendendo mais do que deixar as nossas impressões reflexivas, o nosso testemunho relativo à interação dos seus estratos geracionais, da eterna dialética entre os “clássicos” e os “novos”; característico de todas as épocas; dos elementos que revelam a profissionalização da área do conhecimento; enfim, de alguns dos marcadores identitários, que são um contributo para a sua compreensão.</p> Marisa Henriques; Miguel Bandeira Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/17054 A Urgência de um Seguro Paramétrico contra Desastres Naturais em Moçambique https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/17045 <p><strong>RESUMO </strong></p> <p>Este trabalho de pesquisa aborda sobre “A urgência de um seguro paramétrico contra desastres em Moçambique”. O problema que se coloca na pesquisa é a incapacidade financeira do Governo moçambicano em responder aos impactos decorrentes de eventos climáticos como ciclones e cheias num contexto de&nbsp;conhecimento em relação ao ciclo de ocorrência dos mesmos. O objectivo geral é avaliar o grau de urgência da operacionalização de um seguro paramétrico contra desastres naturais em Moçambique. Para tal fez-se a aplicação do Método de Urgência e Importância “GUT”, bem como a análise de informações usando o método indutivo onde ocorre a generalização dos factos, ou seja, construção de um conhecimento particular para o universal através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. O estudo conclui que devido a tendência de aumento das necessidades financeiras para responder aos impactos decorrentes de eventos climáticos no país, é extremamente urgente operacionalizar o seguro paramétrico contra desastres em Moçambique, contudo, este seguro deve tomar como prioridade eventos climáticos de natureza meteorológica (ciclones), e sugere-se o modelo de seguro da Capacidade Africana de Risco (ARC), especialmente criado para lidar com os desastres naturais no contexto africano.</p> <p>Palavras-chave: &nbsp;Seguro Paramétrico, Desastres Naturais, Incapacidade Financeira, Método GUT.&nbsp;</p> Bernardino José Bernardo, Samuel Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/17045 Circular economy application in regenerative tourism development: A case study of the Central Coast Region, Vietnam https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/16973 <p>Recently, the tourism business has grown significantly, but this development has sometimes resulted in unsustainable results that harm the local population as well as the surroundings. Growing environmental concerns and mounting pressure on natural resources have made the idea of ​​regenerative tourism, integrated with circular economy ideas, more popular. This is a feasible way to achieve long-term sustainability in tourism growth. The objective of this study is to investigate how circular economy ideas might be used to promote regenerative tourism in Vietnam’s Central Coast. By means of qualitative research, including literature review and field research spanning May to December 2023. The study results reveal that although the tourism of the area has greatly boosted the local economy, it has also brought about several social and environmental problems. Maintaining tourism in the area clearly depends on a shift to regenerative tourism backed by circular economy policies, including waste reduction, resource optimization, and ecosystem restoration. Stronger government policies, cross-sector cooperation, and more awareness and education among companies and tourists all depend on the results of the research in key ways.</p> Tuyen Tran Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/16973 Proposta de Planeamento Urbano e Salvaguarda do Património no Cantão de Santo Domingo, Heredia, Costa Rica https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/16602 <p>The work deals with the relationship and challenges of Heritage management in the Land Management Plans in Costa Rica, Regulatory Plans. The work is based on the experience of elaboration of the Regulatory plan of the canton of Santo Domingo de Heredia. The authors of the document participated in the process of elaboration of the regulatory plan, as part of the ProDUS-Universidad de Costa Rica team. The methodology was based on a mixed analysis (qualitative-quantitative), which included an inventory of patrimonial infrastructures of the canton, declared or not, finding a total of 6 declared and 285 undeclared. Legal analysis of the possibilities of intervention of the elements related to the Landscape in the Regulatory Plans, finding that very little can be regulated with respect to the protection of infrastructures with patrimonial potential, requiring legal changes to safeguard these infrastructures. At the Landscape level and neighborhood complexes or urban centers, the Regulatory Plan can regulate some elements such as heights, coverage, withdrawals, parking. The Urban Planning Law establishes the possibility of naming centers of historical interest, however there are no associated management tools in the law or its regulations, the real scope of the tool is unclear.</p> Felix Zumbado Morales, Sindy León Sequeira, Bernadette Esquivel Morales Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/16602 Socio-environmental vulnerability in Nova Iguaçu, Brazil, during extreme heatwave events. https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/16526 <p>Cities have the capacity to generate their own climate as a result of the transformations of their surface in line with their geoecological attributes. In this context, the aim of this study is to analyse whether the urbanisation process, associated with changes in land use and occupation patterns, is related to socio-economic conditions, such as income and colour, for the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, located in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. To do this, we used Landsat 9 thermal images (day and night), in heatwave conditions, and data from the IBGE's urban census units for colour and income in 2022. The results show that the hottest areas were well defined in the morning and afternoon periods, as well as the spatial mobility between day and night. In addition, it was found that at night, strong socio-environmental vulnerability reached 54.5 per cent, while during the day it was 29.8 per cent and moderate vulnerability. There was also a spatial correlation between black and brown skin colour, low income and higher surface temperature.</p> EDSON SOARES FIALHO, Larissa Galvão Fontes dos Santos, Aline Svarça Magalhães Magalhães Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/cadernosgeografia/article/view/16526
