SPATIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A PRODUCTIVITY INDEX OF MARITIME PINE IN PORTUGAL. Forestry plays an important role in the Portuguese regional economy. With this in mind, it is clear that robust and consistent modelling techniques are required so that all decisions can be scientifically based. This work aims to calculate maps illustrating the spatial distribution of the productivity index of maritime pine in Portuguese forests, using geostatistical algorithms of stochastic simulation in association with GIS and spatial analysis functions. These geostatistical algorithms enable this productivity index to be inferred for the locations where this species occurs, but without sampling observations. In this particular case study, data were provided by the third National Forest Inventory of the State Forest Administration. Based on measurements collected in sampling plots, of the height and age of dominant trees, a productivity index was calculated, summarizing the growth gradient level per year. Experimental variograms showed that the productivity index treated as a categorical variable with five classes does not reveal any spatial continuity. On the other hand, the two components of the index – height and age of the trees – present a spatial structure displayed by long-range variograms. Hence, instead of dealing with the productivity index, the decision was made to characterize the spatial distribution of these two factors and to compose the index as the final step. Thus, a methodology is used for the joint spatial characterization of the height and age of maritime pine prior to the calculation of a productivity index. One of the main advantages of stochastic simulation methodologies is the ability to assess the local uncertainty (related to sampling density, location of the nearest samples and local variability), as well as to map the probability of occurrence of extreme scenarios (in this case study, for instance, excellent or unproductive areas). These methodologies are major tools for the sustainable planning and management of natural resources, making it possible to delimit areas of greater and lesser suitability for each type of forest and to understand better the influence of factors that really affect tree development and growth.

GIS IN ROAD TRANSPORT PLANNING IN EXTREMADURA (SPAIN). Increasingly more importance is given to the role played by infrastructures as an element that shapes the landscape. New highways modify conditions of access, which consequently influences potential regional development. In this sense, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are suitable tools for the calculation of accessibility levels and the implementation of cartographical outputs and results. In the light of these premises, this work is aimed at designing a GIS transportation model in the Regional Community of Extremadura in order to make an inventory and to plan and analyse regional infrastructures from economic and social perspectives. It is also our aim to evaluate the effects derived from infrastructure changes on the landscape by considering the highway transportation systems.In this sense, the calculation of shorter pathways is of great importance in order to achieve realistic accessibility GIS models. These models need calculations of the distance between couples of objects. By means of the calculation of the shortest pathways, distances can be precisely measured through the network that monitors the movements instead of using straight-line distances. By using GIS, models can be created that allow us to predict future trends. In order to study the potential of the designed model, different indicators have been determined showing the communication levels in different areas of Extremadura. Indicators calculated for the different population centres and areas are accessibility in absolute and relative terms, times of minimum access and the gravitational pull in comparison with the most significant populated areas. Maps are then generated with the results obtained from each of the indicators.
Metodologia SIG para a avaliação da contaminação de solos em ambiente urbano-industrial
Authors: Brito Maria Graça

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT USING GIS AT URBAN INDUSTRIAL SITES. The aim of this paper is to present a practical experience that uses GIS methodology for environmental impact assessment on industrial activity in Portugal. A conceptual environmental model was used to evaluate and rank areas of risk, taking into account the source of contamination (industrial sites), the biophysical receptors (contamination transmitter) and the anthropological receptors (target). Due to lack of information related to industrial sites, it was necessary to define simple environmental criteria to be used as a primary environmental guide for further investigation phases.Each site (source) is characterized by environmental criteria and categorized by an index that summarises potential contamination impact as a pollutant source. Identically, biophysical media and anthropological receptors are classified and categorized by index values to account for the susceptibility of the receptors.In order to identify priority investigation sites, a GIS model (Arcview 3.2) was developed that integrates environmental parameters in two stages: 1st stage – corresponds to the individual evaluation of each environmental attribute (sources, biophysical receptor and anthropological receptors) by the weighted integration of respective criteria. Output results give the environmental status on (i) site potential contamination, (ii) site biophysical susceptibility and (iii) evaluation of local risk, if contamination occurs.2nd stage – corresponds to the evaluation of priority risk areas by the integration and weighting of the individual 1st stage results. Depending on weighting factors, each output is a scenario of the site environmental status, where the highest index values indicate sites where further investigation is a priority. The final result is a diagnosis environmental map, which is the decision basis for future site investigation and remediation development. This methodology was applied to the first case study in Portugal - Seixal Municipality, a suburban of Lisbon and one of the most industrialized and polluted areas
Map similarity measurement and its application to the Sado estuary
Authors: Caeiro Sandra , Sousa Sandra , Painho Marco
Published: November 2016

In the past thirty years GIS technology has progressed from computer mapping to spatial database management, and more recently, to quantitative map analysis and modeling. However, most applications still rely on visual analysis for determining similarity within and among maps. The aim of this study is to compare maps of homogenous areas computed from estuarine sediment characterization indicators, using different approaches. These maps were defined using three different interpolation methods. Different Kappa statistics, visual map overlays or components of agreement and disagreement due to chance, quantity and location were used for single cell and/or neighborhood (hard and soft) map comparison. Although the three methods were computed with different statistical techniques, their results are similar, supporting the choice of any of the methods as equivalent and thus of equal value to be used as management units of the estuary. Hence the significance of choosing one of the methods is reduced.

SETTING UP AND EXPLORING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURES IN EAST TIMOR. This paper presents a report on the production and usage of Geographic Information applied in a co-operation project with Timor Leste. The project was funded by the Portuguese Government, developed by technical teams of the Technical University of Lisbon and coordinated by the group GERTiL. The work in the project resorted extensively to geographical information. The article describes the global implementation strategy, namely the definition of a co-ordinate system, the installation of a GPS permanent base-station, field surveys, remote sensing and data gathering. Different projects made use of the built infrastructure, namely a strategic development plan, the “school mapping” project, the border demarcation and other smaller projects.

Inundações na Cidade de Lisboa durante o Século XX e os seus factores agraventes
Authors: Oliveira Pedro Elias , Ramos Catarina
Published: November 2016

INUNDATIONS IN LISBON DURING THE 20TH CENTURY AND THEIR URBANAND PHYSICAL CAUSES. Lisbon often suffers inundations, which must be classified as urban inundations, because the flooded areas involved are impermeable due to urban development. These inundations are not related to the overflow of watercourses, but can be classified as flash inundations because of the speed with which they form and spread. The present study covers a time period from 1918/19 to 1997/98, during which 420 occurrences were recorded in two leading daily newspapers, «O Século» and «Diário de Notícias». The research based on these newspapers takes into account daily rainfalls above 10 l/m2 recorded by the Instituto Geofísico Infante D. Luís, as well as daily rainfall below this level but that have also caused inundations. The analysis of the frequency and evolution of these inundations has showed that they occur more often during the autumn (specially in November) and that from the seventies onwards, they have decreased considerably, while at the same time the total rainfall volume has increased, as well as the maximum hourly rainfall that bring them about. Fieldwork was very important in the definition of flooded sites. Research was carried out to specify the physical factors (relief and drainage basins) and urban network (squares and streets). The relationship between these urban factors and the old drainage network was also taken into account in order to distinguish increasing inundation factors. Apart from the description of the physical characteristics of these sites, they were also typified through factor analysis. A hazard factor was attributed to each site based on inundation frequency. The most endangered areas and sites are located mainly in the «Frente Ribeirinha» (along the river bank) built upon the terminal sectors of the natural watercourses, which consists of the receptor streets and receptor squares of the flow. These streets and squares lie perpendicular to the ancient watercourses, and in places where artificial barriers and micro depressions exist. The latter result from the artificial surface of the riverside embankment. Other critical sites exist throughout the town mainly because of obstruction problems or deficient drainage systems, often aggravated, by newly built up impervious areas.
Desinvestimento industrial e as regiões portuguesas. Reflexos da mudança no espaço económico internacional

INDUSTRIAL DIVESTMENT AND PORTUGUESE REGIONS WITHIN THE CHANGES IN THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC SPACE. The spatial impacts of capital mobility, especially foreign capital, are becoming increasingly complex and are extent, divestment is, in essence, another strategic option of firms and it may not be necessarily negative for regions. Still, the impacts are not identical to investment. In economic analysis, divestment in certain activities is seen as necessary to achieve regional economic restructuring. However, the time gap between the creation and destruction of activities frequently causes social and economic problems in regions. Starting with a conceptual framework of divestment, we then analyse the recent evolution of industrial employment and product in order to provide a macro-economic framework for the analysis of employment creation and destruction flows that follows. This analysis has a sectorial and regional perspective aimed at identifying different paths by regions. Finally, specific cases of foreign divestment, which have recently occurred in Portugal, are discussed, illustrating not only a micro-economic perspective of divestment but also the changes in the global value chains that point to a (re)positioning of the country in the international division of labour.
O ambiente nas políticas públicas em Portugal

ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC POLICIES IN PORTUGAL – Despite almost thirty years of environmental activities with the first ‘environmental’ steps taken in Portugal in the early 1970s, it was only in the mid 1980s with Portugal’s joining the European Community that policy guidelines for environmental action were drawn up and established and later consolidated in the 1990s. In accordance with the general European trend, the Portuguese environmental policy was aimed atpreventive measures, at least in some areas. Portugal reflected on the issues over a period of time and defined environmental priorities in practically all areas of economic and social life. In terms of the state’s financial projects (central and local administration), strategy for environmental policies put the emphasis on undertakings that required heavy investment in infrastructures. This article describes the development of the government’s environmental policy in Portugal as reflected in the financial support given to environmental projects, according to industrial or geographical criteria, from the state budget. This process is addressed along with the development of the central administration and respective organisation of public services that handle environmental problems and such like. In this aspect, examination of the development of the environmental services structure and its concomitant duties demonstrates the importance given to environmental issues in public policies.
Novos desafios e orientações das políticas culturais: tendências nas democracias desenvolvidas e especifidades do caso português

NEW CHALLENGES AND TENDENCIES IN CULTURAL POLICIES: TRENDS INDEVELOPED DEMOCRACIES AND PORTUGUESE SPECIFICITIES – In the last twenty years of the 20th century, a vast range of interrelated changes took place in the most developed democratic societies, and their effects were felt in the economic as well as in the societal and political areas. One of the most successful theoretical frameworks used since then to interpret and explain all these changes has been the French regulationist school theory. This paper addresses a neglected issue in recent political, sociologicaland geographical studies on the post-Fordist transition in the more developed democratic societies: changes in cultural policies. After identifying the main changes in this area, this paper examines whether the changes that have occurred in cultural policies since mid-80s agree with what could be the cultural logic of a supposedly post-Fordist state, as the French regulationist theory sustains. Lastly, Portuguese specificities in this domain are explored and interpreted in the light of the semi-peripheral condition of the country.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN SOCIAL POLICIES. THE CASE OF THEPARISHES IN THE LISBON METROPOLITAN AREA – Capitalist development is currently characterised by an administrative centralisation with the Nation-State losing power to supranational authorities. However, some functions have been decentralised, specially the ones of a social character, to local levels of Public Administration, as can be seen by the increase of parish activities, which develop their own plans, act in partnership or subsidise public and private institutions at a local level. The social policies that the parishes adopt are influenced by several factors, among which we detect the structure of the territory and the dominating political party within the local government council.

he coastal vegetation of the portuguese divisory sector: dunes, cliffs and low scrub communities
Authors: Costa et al José Carlos
Published: November 2016

The Portuguese Divisory Sector is an original biogeographical unit within the Gaditano-Onubo-Algarvish Province of the Mediterranean chorological region. There are four superdistricts along its coastal area: "Olissiponense", "Sintrano", "Costeiro Português" (Portuguese Coastal) and "Berlenguense". The portuguese Coastal superdistric has not been sufficiently studied; it is the largest and its transitional biogeographical character lies between those of the Mediterranean and Eurosiberian regions due to its paleo-ecological history and joint position in relation to Atlantic and Mediterranean floristic migratory pathways. Due to these multiple influences a wealth of original taxa and syntaxa are found there which make large areas of the region suited for biodiversity conservation. In this work we characterise briefly 27 plant associations of dunes and sea-cliffs. Endemic or protected taxa and communities are cited. We also propose four new syntaxes.

A COMPARASION OF CARTOGRAPHIC CONFIGURATIONS THROUGH BIDIMENSIONAL REGRESSION - Information given in ancient maps give rise to interesting problems about methodology that are not always easy to solve. Bidimensional regression, which was developed in the 1970's by W. Tobler, is a methodology that allows a comparasion to be drawn between cartographic configurations of different periods of time and permits them to be grouped or compared with current maps or even to detect any plagiarism. The exemple we present is an 18th-century nautical chart of Lisbon area compared with a current map and we examine the main methodological problems.

Published: November 2016

CULTURAL INDUSTRIES IN THE LISBON METROPOLITAN AREA: LOCATION FEATURES AND IMPLICATIONS ON URBAN POLICIES - This paper aims to examine the current situation and the recent development of cultural industries in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area in view of the increasing international interest in this area.Two main conclusions emerged from the analysis. Firstly, we concluded that cultural industries are steadily increasing, showing rates above the Lisbon Metropolitan Area avarage in other industries. Secondly, a high degree of concentration of activities and jobs could also be observed mainly within the city of Lisbon. However one of the most important trends of the sector in recent years has been the deconcentration of activities with the development of different specialisations in the peripheral areas. The implications of this on urban policies are analysed in the last section of this paper.

LOW-COST DATA LOGGERS FOR AIR, SOIL AND ROCK TEMPERATURE MONITORING -Tiny Talk II data loggers were adapted in the laboratory of the Centro de Estudos Geográficos for air, soil and rock temperature monitoring. The loggers are single-channel 8 bit devices with a 2K EEPROM memory that allows the registration of 1,800 temperature records at user-defined intervals. Temperatures are measured by NTC100 thermistors separated by the authors from the data logger for more accurate measurements. Data is transfered from the loggers into a portable computer using a RS-232 cable. It is a low-cost system very appropriate for use in rough environmental conditions, particularly in mountain areas. It is successfully tested by the authors in the Antartic, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada and Serra da Estrela.The detailed procedures for the construction of three measuring systems are described. The air temperature apparatus is constructed using PVC tubing and protecting cases and is designed for the measurement of air temperatures at 130cm above the ground. The soil temperature monitoring apparatus measures temperatures at 1, 5, 10 and 20cm depth and is based in 4 data loggers protected from moisture and dust in an IP68 case. The rock temperature measuring system is similar to the latter but the sensors are installed in the interior of the rock and isolated using silicon glue.

Variabilidade da precipitação em Portugal e relações com o sitema oceano-atmosfera no Atlântico Norte
Authors: Gomes Pedro Tilde
Published: November 2016

RAINFALL VARIABILITY IN PORTUGAL AND SOME RELATIONS WITH THE OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE SYSTEM IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC - The scope of this study is to analyse rainfall variability in the Portuguese rainy season (Nov-Mar) during the 20th century, and examine some relations with the sea surface temperatures (SST) and geopotencial heights at 850 hPa (Z850) in the North Atlantic region. To build the Portuguese rainfall index (PRI), a principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on a matrix containing seven Portuguese stations with secular records (variables) and the years 1900 to 1993 (observations). This index is the first principal component (PC), which explains always over 60% of the total variance and all the seven stations used in the PCA have positive correlationswith the first component. Therefore we can assume that the first PC describes the rainfall variability in Portugal and the PCA has detectedonly one coherent area in Portuguese territory. The analysis of cycles reveals a variability that might be linked with the North Atlantic ocean atmosphere system. Very significant cycles of 3/4 or 7/8 years were found either in the PRI or in the first PC of SST time-series. In order to search the causes of the rainfall variability in Portugal, several correlations and composites analysis were made. Correlations between the PRI and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index are always negative for all rainy season months (Nov-Mar). The correlation between the PRI and the SST in North Atlantic shows a central area with significant negative coefficients (west of Portuguese coastline). Positive correlations above 50ºN and below 30ºN. The correlation between the PRI and Z850 field shows a North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) pattern: positive correlations in the north and negative correlations in the south of North Atlantic region. In additon, a compositive analysis was made for wet and dry years to test the reaction of the SST field. A distinct pattern was found in the SST field for wet and dry years

Some remarks on the texts by foreigners on Japan up to the end of the Nineteenth Century how they changed the image of Japan abroad and the impact they had on the landscape sensibilities of the japanese
Authors: Takeuchi Keiichi
Published: November 2016

In this paper, the author outlines the accounts, including pictures and photographs, of foreigners in Japan to point out some problems regarding the image of Japan as perceived by foreigners, especially westerners. During the isolationist policy of the seventeenth to the middle of the nineteenth century, a certain amount of information on Japan trickled from time to time into the Western world through the Dutch, but these accounts did not present the orientalist and "masculine" image of the geisha, an image that came to the popularized in Western orientalist literature only in the second half of the nineteenth century. The volume on Japan by Élisée Reclus represents the highest achievement of the systematization of geographical knowledge in the 1880s. It was the texts penned by foreign residents in Japan that to some extent helped to transform the landscape sensibility of the Japanese people.
Los relatos de mujeres viajeras ¿Una mirada crítica sobre el colonialismo? Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904)
Authors: Garcia-Ramon Maria Dolors , Mas Abel Albet
Published: November 2016

WOMEN'S TRAVEL NARRATIVES. A CRITICAL GAZE ON COLONIALISM? iSABELLE EBERHARDT (1877-1904) - The aim of this paper is to analyse the life and works of a woman travel writer, Isabelle Eberhardt and to set it within the context of the recent scholarship related to travel narrative, orientalism and gender. In effect, in his important work on orientalism, Said argued that the Orient is an European construct serving an image of the Other that not only defines the Other but also identifies the self as Western. Nevertheless, Said's contribution neglects the heterogenity of colonial discourse and conceals the roles played by women in the colonization process as well as in its representation. On the contrary, recent feminist scholarship focus on the role of European women as cultural agents in the formation of imperial relations and explores women's complicity with colonialism as well as their resistance to it. But most of the research on women travellers has been carried out by English-speaking authors on english-speaking women travellers. This paper, then, tries to contribute to this field by recovering a marginal voice coming from a different place:Isabelle Eberhardt was born in Geneva (although she was of Russian origin), travelled to Tunisia and Algeria and wrote in french. The complex dynamics of complicity and resistance in Western women is very clear in the case of Isabelle. On one hand, she has the reputation of being "an enemy of France" but, on the other, she is central to the colonial encounter. Isabelle transgresses European norms of gender and civilization by dressing as an Arab and embracing Islam, but her self-exploration was made possible by French colonial power, and in the end, she became a player in French imperial politics. The ambivalence towards colonialism that we can observe in Isabelle's life and works (as in many other women travellers) openly questions the notion of simple Otherness as presented in Said's work. The intersection of colonial and gender discourses involves a shifting subject positioning, whereby Western women can simultaneously constitute center and periphery, identity and alterity. Therefore, this paper hopefully shows that for the study of colonialism it is important to focus on narratives coming from the margins as they provide new perspectives which can destabilize established conceptions on the colonial relationship.
Substate nation-building and geographical representations of the "other" in Galicia, Spain (1860-1936)
Authors: García-Álvarez Jacobo
Published: November 2016

The "social construction" of otherness and, broadly speaking, the ideological-political use of "external" socio-spatial referents have become important topics in contemporary studies on territorial identities, nationalisms and nation-building processes, geography included. After some brief, introductory theoretical reflections, this paper examines the contribution of geographical discourses, arguments and images, "sensu lato", in the definition of the external socio-spatial identity referents of Galician nationalism in Spain, during the period 1860-1936. In this discourse Castile was typically represented as "the other" (the negative, opposition referent), against which Galician identity was mobilised, whereas Portugal, on the one hand, together with Ireland and the so-called "Atlantic-Celtic naionalities", on the other hand, were positively constructed as integrative and emulation referents.

THE PLACE OF CULTURAL POLICY ABROAD IN THE CIRCULATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL IDEAS: THE CASE OF THE CAREER OF PIERRE DEFFONTAINES (1894-1978). Between the two world wars, France reinforced its cultural policy abroad. Many French Institutes were founded, particularly in the coutries of the "Petit Entente" and in Latin America. These institutes were located near foreign universities which helped French Scholars travel abroad. Pierre Deffontaines (1894-1978) is significant in this respect, as most of his carrer took place abroad. Thanks to the two main successive positions which he held - one in France at the Catholic Faculties of Lille (1924-1939), the other in Spain as the director of the French Institute of Barcelona (1939-1964) - he travelled extensively abroad, particularly in the Americas: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Québec. He may have been the French geographer who was the best known abroad and who promoted the largest number of geography departments and associations in various places. As a disciple of Jean Brunhes, he succeeded in associating the promotion of French culture to the promotion of geography.

Innovation, Territory and industrial development in Portugal
Authors: Fonseca Maria Lucinda , Gaspar Jorge , Vale Mário
Published: November 2016

Innovation holds an important role in the economic development process. The competitive potential of national and regional economies is based on the ability to manage the changing technological process. Economic competition does no longer exclusively depend on the factor costs, which vary geographicaly, because technology can now eliminate the territory disadvantages. Productivity is the crucial element in the competitive capacity of any economy. Productivity, as can easily be proved, is deeply dependent on technological development; this is only possible if there is constant innovation. This paper starts with a brief discussion on the theoretical issues regarding innovation in relation to regional economies. In the second section the Portuguese R&D system is analised in terms of finance and human resources. Particular attention is paid to the entrepreneurial R&D effort, namely in manufacturing activity. Finally, some limitations of the innovation policy in the EU are pointed out, together with its consequences for the least favoured regions.

Published: November 2016

NEEDLE ICE EROSION IN THE SERRA DO GERÊS (NW PORTUGAL)- After a short review of the studies on needle ice in the world, its morphogenetic significance in the Serra do Gerês is discussed. Several needle ice induced morphological features were identified in the field. Nevertheless, cryogenic features are in most cases ephemeral, being destroyed by the action of processes with higher morphogenetic capacity (i.e. runoff). Needle ice acts mostly as a disruptive agent, causing the desagregation of weathered granite or other non-choesive deposits. The resultant material is easily transported by other processes, like runoff or wind. The more prone areas to needle ice formation are also discussed.

In the valley of Barcarena, a few kilometres westward from Lisbon, it was possible to detect the intermittent flow of the cold air drainage during two calm clear nights. We came to the conclusion that the cold air lakes are formed in situ by the irradiation process and also by the accumulation of the cold air drained along the valley slopes. The rugosity of the surface and the slow down of the cold air along the slope could be responsible for the oscillations of the cold air lakes thickness

La promocion de nueva actividad terciaria en la ciudad de Barcelona
Authors: Benach Nuria
Published: November 2016

THE PROMOTION OF NEW TERTIARY ACTIVITIES IN BARCELONA - The profound extent of the recent transformation of cities can be analysed through the changes shown in urban patterns and urban functions, as well as through their relationship with new ways of urban planning. This article begins by evaluating the extent of the tertiary sector in Barcelona through the development of several macroeconomical indicators. Then we study the centralising tendency in the location of certain tertiary activities, especially those involved in decision and management, and those of the recently growing producer services. Afterwards we look at tertiary activities relevance as an instrument of urban politics in general, and in the case of Barcelona, in particular. Finally, we foresee the situation of certain branches with major potencial growth such as tourism, health or financial services.
