How Should We Interpret Silence in Qualitative Communication Studies
Through an interdisciplinary literature review, based on empirical evidence, this research approaches different ways of interpreting silence(s) in three qualitative research methods-ethnography, focus groups and interviews-which, by their nature, are conducive to practices that resort to silence as units of meaning. The findings presented in this paper demonstrate how, in different data collection techniques, it is possible to rethink not only th…

The process of integrating sustainability into education based on curricula assessment has been explained using adoption of innovations; and has the potential to explain the process of developing compet…

A questão que colocamos neste estudo é a de compreender o processo de participação em programas de hortas urbanas de carácter comunitário e relacionar essa mesma participação com a promoção da sustentabilidade local.

Disclosure of corporate social responsibility in the forestry sector of the Congo Basin
How Does Tourism Planning Contribute to Sustainable Development
Perhaps like few other industries, tourism depends and is built on environmental, physical and cultural local resources. In this sense, and as suggested by the scientific community and international agencies, sustainability should be a driver for tourism sector development. For this purpose, three main issues are relevant: the interpretation of the meaning of sustainability reflected in the vision of the destination for the sector; stakeholders' …
