Designing a knowledge transfer model for accelerating urban climate adaptation in Malaysia
The urgency of adapting urban areas to the increasing impacts of climate change has prompted the scientific community to seek new approaches in partnership with public entities and civil society organizations. In Malaysia, Penang Island has developed a nature-based urban climate adaptation program (PNBCAP) seeking to increase urban resilience, reduce urban heat and flooding, strengthening social resilience, and build institutional capacity. The p…
GeoCNES
Ensuring equitable access to healthcare facilities is crucial for urban well-being, but geographical barriers often impede this access. This paper introduces GeoCNES, an open-source tool developed in Python to address this challenge. GeoCNES establishes a connection to the Brazilian national healthcare establishments register and the census data, to process and geocoding them to automatically generate an interactive map that display the distribut…

Garantizar un acceso equitativo a las unidades de salud es crucial para el bienestar urbano, pero las barreras geográficas a menudo obstaculizan este acceso. Este artículo presenta GeoCNES, una herramienta de código abierto desarrollada en Python para abordar este desafío. GeoCNES se conecta al CNES y a los datos censales brasileños y aplica técnicas de geocodificación para generar automáticamente mapas interactivos que muestran la distribución d…
Action plans to combat sea level rise
The rise in sea levels associated with climate change may have consequences for coastal cities, which need to adapt to minimize their vulnerabilities. It is observed that in some locations, the rise of the oceans is already felt, so adaptation strategies are already being employed. Therefore, the objective of the research is to carry out a documentary review of the climate action plans of cities participating in C40 Cities that may face the conse…
Recreation and Alcohol Consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study provides new data on the recreational environment in Praia and can contribute to the development of local and national public health policies and interventions in line with several SDGs to reduce alcohol consumption, enhance healthy leisure/recreation practices, and promote better living conditions for its inhabitants
Sustainable Tourism Planning
This paper aims to explore the topic of sustainable tourism activity. The subject has emerged in the last two decades from discussions about the content of the report, Our Common Future. The decision to transform developing countries into new offerings for ecological and cultural tourism brings to the discussion the imprecise and conflicting definitions of the concept and the need to distinguish between the development of tourism, and sustainable…
The reuse of marble waste heaps in the estremoz anticlinal
Nowadays, the original image and structure of the territory have been permanently changed, by human action, due to the intense industrialization. The quarries represent the industrial activity that causes more transmutations in the landscape, modifying it in a more invasive manner. The present research describes a case study in Portugal where is located the highest concentration of marble quarries, flanked by escombreiras, large waste heaps. The …
Shaping energy transition at municipal scale
Wall-Up
Low potassium and high sodium intakes
A low potassium intake and a high sodium intake were found in Praia. Thus, efficient health education campaigns and health promotion are needed and should be tailored considering gender and urban areas
Sustainability through Art
One of the most prominent urban problems European cities face, is not only the physical degradation of its historic city centers, but also the degradation of their social, economic and environmental context. Moreover, common rehabilitation methods and strategies are often unsuccessful combatting such problem, and new ways and strategies must be researched, tested, and implemented under a new sustainable development policy. Creativity and artistic…

Determinants, Health Problems, and Food Insecurity in Urban Areas of the Largest City in Cape Verde
Urbanization processes are intertwined with nutritional transition because there is easier access to food of low nutritional quality at reduced prices, changing dietary patterns and leading to an increase of non-communicable chronic diseases. This study aims to understand the perceptions for high blood pressure, obesity, and alcoholism, describing some interactions of these dimensions in the problem of food security in the city of Praia. A qualit…
