Assessing community's wildfire risk awareness
Wildfires pose a huge risk to communities, particularly in wildland-urban interface areas, such as the entire Mafra municipality in Portugal. This study investigates wildfire risk perception among residents of different villages of the Mafra municipality. The perceived risk is compared with the calculated biophysical exposure, which serves as a proxy for risk. A field survey was conducted among 205 participants across eight villages, collecting d…
Fire-smart solutions for sustainable wildfire risk prevention
Fuel management for wildfire risk prevention generally lacks economic sustainability. In marginal areas of southern Europe, this limits fuel treatment programs from reaching the critical mass of required treated area to modify landscape flammability, the fire regime and its impacts. This study investigates key fuel management initiatives for wildfire risk prevention in southern EU countries. We compared local approaches through a bottom-up select…
Remains of traditional fire use in Portugal
Traditional, rural, native, or indigenous fire has coexisted with lightning-caused fire since the origin of Humanity. In Portugal, several uses of fire played an essential role in supporting communities from the settlement of the Portuguese territory within complex agrosilvo-pastoral systems. Previous studies approached traditional fire knowledge from different perspectives, but none comprehensively described the concept. Resorting to historical …
The Use of Vegetation Fire in Portugal
Fire has been a widely used tool in habitat and landscape management, mainly associated with land use dynamics of deforestation, pasture renewal, hunting and reclaiming new agriculture and rangeland areas. Ancient societies followed norms and rules regarding the used of fire. However, as these societies developed and land ownership changed, the conflicts generated by using fire triggered the need to regulate this practice by establishing the firs…
