Outdoor Thermal Comfort of Older People in Vulnerable Urban Areas in a Warming World
Amid growing concerns over global warming, ensuring the outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) of public urban spaces is crucial for creating liveable and resilient cities. This study focused on the intensification of the urban heat island (UHI) effect and the heat stress experienced by the vulnerable older population. Evidence was found through the case study in a highly vulnerable area of Porto, with a high ageing ratio. The primary aim was to assess th…
Health Benefits of Cycling as a Form of Active Travel
Integrating physical activity into daily routines through walking and cycling supports health while promoting sustainable mobility. This assumption aligns with SDGs 3, 5 and 11. This study assessed the feasibility and health impacts of cycling within a university setting. As part of the UCicletas program at Coimbra University, sixteen participants (8 males, 8 females) used conventional or pedal-assist bicycles for eight weeks. Descriptive analyse…
Co-Creating Accessibility-Centred Mobility Strategies in Low-Density Suburban Contexts
Promoting and increasing sustainable mobility has become more of a focus in transport and mobility policies and plans. However, challenges remain in its implementation in low-density urban areas, which are usually highly dependent on private motorised transport. This study investigates how local actors and citizens in a low-density suburban area perceive the main mobility challenges and opportunities, contributing empirical evidence on how collab…
Participatory Methods to Support Climate Adaptation for Older Adults Living in Vulnerable Urban Areas
Urban environments and climate-related challenges impact older adults' health and well-being. To address these challenges, climate adaptation strategies and urban design guidelines should be tailored to older adults' needs. Ethnographic studies can help identify these needs by involving them directly in the research process. This study uses ethnographic research to explore older adults' perceptions and behaviours regarding climate change risks an…
