Local Governance of Education Policy in Portugal
Portuguese Education Policy has witnessed several changes towards an increasing decentralization of power to the Local Government. Local education policy and planning instruments, such as the Educational Charter and the Strategic Educational Plan, have steadily improved, representing important steps in decentralization. While exploring the various dimensions that characterize contemporary educational policy in Portugal, particularly those highlig…
Overcoming the barriers
Cross-border cooperation is a major instrument of European policy to overcome the barriers posed by national borders and correcting regional imbalances. But the question of whether it is leading to the convergence of cross-border regions (CBRs) is still open for debate, given the significant heterogeneity of borders and the localized and spatially bound nature of many border effects. This article analyses the beta and sigma convergences in GDP pe…
Operationalizing spatial justice in urban planning
This research explores the challenges of using spatial justice as a basis for public policy and urban planning. Philosophical principles of justice are useful for systematic reasoning but lack objective criteria for evaluating spatial justice. We propose a framework based on criteria from social psychology – strict equality, need, merit, and entitlement – to a territorial perspective to determine the most appropriate distribution of amenities. We…
On sustainable improvements of agricultural practices in the Bairrada region (Portugal)
The objective of this paper is to develop a framework to overcome problems of soil nutrient legacies and poor quality of water bodies raised by agricultural practices. A multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach is proposed to evaluate different alternatives to help to define sustainable vineyard agricultural solutions. The methodology developed was applied to a basin in the north-central part of Portugal, the São Lourenço basin. The land c…

Participatory methodology guidelines to promote citizens participation in decision-making
Citizens' role evolved to become active agents in decision-making. However, existing policy definition procedures are still not tailored to engage citizens and the participation of specific groups. Moreover, it is vital to understand citizens' interests and motivations to set the methods and build democratic methodologies that make them feel comfortable and willing to participate. In this context, this paper explores how policymakers view the rol…
How to assess spatial injustice
Regions often exhibit disparities in socio-economic conditions, leading to unequal access to resources and opportunities. This study focuses on the territorial aspect of justice and presents a methodology for identifying regions where individuals lack proper socio-economic conditions for upward mobility. We first provide an overview of spatial justice and establish a theoretical framework to support the model to assess spatial justice. We utilize…
Territorial cohesion
The European Union’s Cohesion Policy aims at strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion to correct imbalances between countries and regions. However, European Union policy was expressed unevenly, and asymmetries grew at different scales. Therefore, it has raised discussions on territorial cohesion, which looks much different on the ground than in its theoretical design. This paper confronts this conceptual rationale with the percepti…
A survey of organizational structure and operational practices of elite youth football academies and national federations from around the world
AimMedical and performance units are integral components of player development programmes in elite football academies. Nevertheless, the nature of the operational processes implemented by practitioners within clubs and national federations remains unexplored. The aim of the present study, therefore, was to survey elite youth professional football academies from around the world regarding the operational processes adopted by their medical and perf…
O Desafio Do Georreferenciamento De Cartas Antigas Em Escala Cadastral Em Apoio À Estruturação De Uma Base De Dados Geoespaciais - Estudo De Caso Para O Município Do Rio De Janeiro
Com a forte evolução tecnológica, a Cartografia apresentou significativas mudanças tanto em nível de aquisição, como em nível de produção e disponibilização de dados. Muitas destas mudanças justificam a investigação de soluções metodológicas para a recuperação de mapas antigos. É o caso das informações referentes às áreas de patrimônio da União, definidas de forma legal através de instruções normativas, que representam documentos oficiais. O muni…

Steps towards Public Engagement with Archaeological Heritage — Some Portuguese Examples
In the 1990s, with the discovery of rock engravings in the Côa valley, archaeology entered the public debate in Portugal, widely raising society's awareness about the impacts of public works on archaeological heritage. This coincided with the implementation of the Valleta Convention in Europe, which resulted in the creation of important legal mechanisms and the development of preventive archaeology and monitoring in Portugal. Since then, the prom…
Teoria da mente e pensamento contrafactual em crianças de baixo nível socioeconómico
O nosso trabalho propõe explorar a compreensão das crianças de baixo nível socioeconómico acerca das razões que os outros têm para as acções, ou seja, pretendemos explorar o efeito do conhecimento sobre as razões para as acções, aquando de raciocínios contrafactuais e de falsas crenças, ampliando-o ao desenvolvimento das crianças. Trabalhos anteriores mostraram que as pessoas tendem a pensar sobre as acções de forma diferente quando têm conhecime…
Counterfactual thinking
In two different studies we examined the focus effect of a scenario (i.e., the fact that a given character is the protagonist of a story) on two interconnected domains: the generation of counterfactual thoughts and the ascription of blame. It was hypothesised that being the focal agent of a story would not only lead to more counterfactuals centred on him or her, but also to greater ascriptions of blame as it would be easier to imagine how that ac…
