Portuguese Students' Perceptions of Soil Ecosystem Services and Their Willingness to Change Behaviour for the Future of Soil
Soil is one of the most important non‐renewable natural resources, playing a vital role in sustaining humanity. Studies exploring how students perceive soil ecosystem services are considerably scarcer. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are: (i) to understand Portuguese students' perceptions of the importance of different soil ecosystem services; and (ii) to determine the students' willingness to change behaviours to support the future …
How students perceive natural and human‐made risks on the island of Madeira (Portugal)
In this study the spatial perceptions of students about the likelihood of natural and environmental risks were examined, considering both mainland Portugal and island of Madeira. It intends to understand how students perceived the risks, taking into account the causal attributions, future tendency, and the support from public entities, as well as the willingness of attitudinal changes with respect to mitigating and reducing risks. The results sug…
Exploring the Spatial Perception of Risk in Portugal by Students of Geography
This study set out to assess the ability of year nine students to identify and classify the most likely natural and mixed risks, both on a national scale and within the Metropolitan Area of Porto (AMP). We also sought to assess the respective spatial perception of different risks at regional level. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied and the results show that the students classified the risk of forest fire as the most likely to occur, b…
Exploring flash flood risk perception using PCA analysis
São Vicente Island is in the Republic of Cape Verde. It lies within the Sahelian zone and faces several natural risks, one of which is flash flooding. Based on a questionnaire entitled Flash Flood Risk Perception in Cape Verde, applied to 203 subjects, influence the behavioural decision making adopted by people when confronted with this natural hazard. A multivariate technique was conducted on the main dimensions (categorical principal components…
The 2014 volcanic eruption in Fogo and the reterritorialization process
The population of Fogo Island, in Cape Verde, shows a peculiar relationship with the living territory, given that the eminence of volcanic risk is a reality they face every day. The 1951 and 1995 eruptions were particularly scarring in this insular geography, leaving in several generations of Cape Verdeans, the mark of a creation‐destruction‐restart cycle, as well as an attitude of symbiosis with nature. This article is intended to present and di…
