Rural depopulation and the decline of vernacular architecture: An analysis of physical vulnerability in Bragança district, Portugal
Depopulation in rural areas poses significant threats to the preservation of vernacular architecture, a key representation of a region's cultural and historical heritage. Across many rural regions of Southern Europe, depopulation has led to significant demographic and cultural shifts. In Portugal, this trend is evident in various interior regions, including the Bragança district where the population has decreased by approximately 47.4% between 19…
A novel methodology for assessing social vulnerability in depopulating rural communities: Application to Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal
Novel rural Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) proposed. (Sections 1, 2.1.1) • Robust expert-weighted index ensures result reliability. (Sections 2.1.2, 4.2) • Household-level vulnerability mapping reveals local disparities. (Section 4) • Digital access and preparedness are key policy levers. (Sections 4.1, 4.2) • Transferable method for depopulating rural areas. (Section 4.2)
Numerical modeling of salt crystallization in masonry: A critical review of developed numerical models
A critical review of existing numerical models for simulation of salt crystallization of masonry structures. • Advantages and limitations of existing numerical models are highlighted. • Future investigations are proposed based on the conducted gap analysis. Salt decay is widely recognized as one of the most common mechanisms for the deterioration of building materials in monuments, sculptures, and civil structures. Understanding how salt crystall…
Changing Conditions: Global Warming-Related Hazards and Vulnerable Rural Populations in Mediterranean Europe
Human-induced climate change has profound effects on extreme events, particularly those linked to global warming, such as heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires. These events disrupt ecosystems, emphasizing the imperative to understand the interactions among them to gauge the risks faced by vulnerable communities. Vulnerability levels vary primarily based on a community’s resources. Rural areas, especially in the Mediterranean region of Europe, are e…
