Even More Ours” Historical Notes on the Landscape of Ilha de Luanda, Angola (16th–20th Century)
Given the need to obtain reliable knowledge to contribute to further reflection on the anthropization of coastal zones, this article focuses on the colonial settlement of the Ilha de Luanda (Luanda Island), a sandspit off the coast of Luanda, the capital of Angola. Despite the strategic importance of the Ilha for the development of the city of Luanda, there are few studies on the relationship between the two elements. From the sixteenth to the ni…
Forest management in Mozambique from 1920 to 1974
This paper links issues of forestry and colonialism in Mozambique during Portuguese rule, from 1920 to 1974. It analyses the role of Portuguese foresters in building Mozambique’s Forest Services by looking at their concerns, priorities, application of technical knowledge, challenges and limitations. The article describes how these experts acted in remote areas to survey and catalogue the existing forest as well as introduce European forest manage…
An analysis of coastal sand dune management in Oregon (United States) from the 19th to the 21st century
The Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework was employed to understand the land use policies developed to manage coastal sand dunes and their consequences in Oregon, United States of America, during two contrasting periods: from the 19th to the late 20th century and from there to the early 21st century. A combination of historical data and scientific literature was used for this study. Dune destabilization became a socio-economi…
Patchy Anthropocoasts
In recent years, there has been increasing societal awareness of the crucial role that coastal dunes play in protecting against rising sea levels, mitigating climate change impacts, promoting biodiversity, and providing recreational opportunities. In some regions, dune management has been particularly focused on biodiversity and ecosystem restoration and the presence of alien species on dunes raises concerns about how these species become 'native…
Fixação e repovoamento florestal das dunas no Sudoeste da Península Ibérica, 1870-1930
As administrações florestais espanhola e portuguesa colaboraram, no final do século XIX, para produzir um conjunto pioneiro de projetos de plantações florestais em vários territórios dunares. A silvicultura das dunas ocupava um lugar privilegiado no pensamento administrativo e tinha características materiais passíveis de classificação padronizada. A análise destes projetos no Algarve e na Andaluzia revela claramente como as comunidades de peritos…
Coastal studies and society
Dune(s)
What connects the sci-fi book Dune with coastal dunes and geoengineering? The answer lies in humans and their world-making activities. This paper proposes an innovative approach to coastal dunes as hybrid environments by analyzing the dunes stabilization programs developed on the US Pacific Coast. It looks into the shifting sands of the Oregon coast and how they influenced Frank Herbert to write his novel, why local communities and federal author…
Managing Coastal Sand Drift in the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene, dunes act as a natural defence from sea-level rise and storm surges while providing 'ecosystem' services. This article uses scientific and historical data to examine the Manawatū-Whanganui dune field in New Zealand from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. Dunes that were destabilised due to European settlements and their activities were drifting inland causing social, economic and political problems. Attempts to preve…
Making a Case for an Environmental History of Dunes
The author discusses some of the challenges of developing the environmental history of the nonhuman, presenting the reasons for undertaking a history of dunes and stressing the role of the environmental humanities in enforcing action against inertia when facing the present global environmental crisis
Governance and Management of Coastal Zones. Algarve (Portugal)
The aim of this paper is to present an example of the contribution of environmental historical research as a tool base for policy-making and coastal management. Based on an analysis of the tourist phenomenon in the Algarve, and using the Spanish experience as a point of comparison, it presents a consideration of the complex political, economic and social processes that led to the support of a kind of tourism, which was, in part, responsible for t…
Effectiveness of a Combined Intervention on Psychological and Physical Capacities of Frail Older Adults
Older adults experience physical and psychological declines affecting independency. Adapted and structured combined interventions composed of cognitive stimulation and physical exercise contribute to comorbidities' reduction. Methods: Multicenter single-blinded two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial conducted to assess effectiveness of a combined intervention (CI), composed of a cognitive stimulation program (CSP) and a physical exercise pro…

Alterações Ambientais em Perspetiva Histórica
Este texto passa em revista a historiografia portuguesa sobre os movimentos camponeses desde o século XVIII e tipifica formas de conflito ambiental na agricultura comercial, na indústria mineira e nas pescas já identificadas desde a segunda metade do século XIX. Finalmente, procuram-se padrões na evolução dos conflitos ambientais e assinala-se a natureza da mudança na era da ecologia. = This text reviews the Portuguese historiography on peasant m…
A Historical View on Coastal Erosion
The village of Furadouro, on the north-western coast of Portugal, is emblematic of current problems of coastal management. The purpose of this article is to analyse the interaction between human communities and the coast in Furadouro, in order to understand how practices and arrangements have contributed to potentiate coastal erosion effects in the last century. The conceptual tools of 'socio-natural sites'; 'co-evolution'; and 'socio-natural sit…
Turismo de Massas versus Proteção da Orla Costeira no Algarve
Nenhum outro trecho da costa portuguesa reflete melhor as consequências da ocupação humana do litoral como o Algarve. O isolamento da região permitiu que mantivesse até ao século XX um conjunto de características naturais e modos de vida tradicionais já desaparecidos noutros locais. Entre 1960-80, o Algarve conheceu um desenvolvimento sem precedentes devido à afluência de turistas estrangeiros e portugueses, graças à melhoria das condições de vid…
