Rural depopulation and the decline of vernacular architecture
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…
Historic Buildings as Urban Sensors
Built heritage is increasingly affected by climate-driven processes, yet its capacity to inform broader understandings of urban environmental change remains insufficiently explored. Here, we synthesize the recent literature (2020–2024) on the application of the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach to the integrated management of cultural heritage under climate risk, reframing the historic built environment as a multi-scale diagnostic medium fo…
How much do users matter? An integrated method for building flood vulnerability and exposure assessment in Historic Urban Areas
The definition of sustainable strategies for risk mitigation in Urban Built Environments (UBEs) prone to flooding should be based on holistic yet quick approaches that comprise hazard, physical vulnerability, and user factors. In particular, the ways users occupy, live and behave in UBEs introduce significant spatiotemporal dynamics in the final risk due to their user exposure (how many?) and vulnerability (of which type?). These effects can be r…
Combining physical and social indicators in a multi-vulnerability framework for fire risk assessment
Over the years, global concern regarding fire prevention in historic urban areas has grown considerably. These areas possess significant cultural, urban, architectural, and social value, but also exhibit a range of intrinsic characteristics that render them highly prone to fire ignition and propagation, thereby posing significant challenges for fire control. Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best examples of this: its histor…
A novel methodology for assessing social vulnerability in depopulating rural communities
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)
Clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic characteristics of low-grade mammary carcinoma and malignant myoepithelioma in a female dog
Mammary neoplasms represent one of the most common tumor conditions in female dogs, particularly affecting older and unspayed females. Within this context, carcinoma and malignant myoepithelioma, considered rare in this species, exhibit aggressive clinical behavior even in low histological grade cases, consisting of both myoepithelial and epithelial components. Given its uncommon occurrence and the scarcity of reports, this case report aimed to h…
Wildland-Urban Interface fire exposure of rural settlements
Coexistence with wildfires has always been part of human life. However, the severity of these events has intensified due to the combined effects of climate change and interventions on the environment. Rural settlements, especially those with heritage values, are vulnerable, leaving their existence under constant threat. Montesinho Natural Park, characterised by many settlements with remarkable vernacular buildings, exemplifies this situation. In …
Assessing the spatiotemporal impact of users’ exposure and vulnerability to flood risk in urban built environments
Flood risk in an urban built environment depends on the combination of the hazard, the vulnerability of the built environment itself and its infrastructure (referred to as physical vulnerability), and the exposure and vulnerability of the people residing, working or visiting it (i.e., their human condition). However, factors affecting those people vary over space and time depending on the uses of the built environment. This research offers a meth…
Changing Conditions
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…
Características Produtivas E Estruturais De Cultivares De Panicum Maximum Em Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo
Conhecer as gramíneas que melhor se adaptam para cada região assim como o manejo adequado e produtividade da mesma é de suma importância para uma produção de bovinos com qualidade e menor custo. Objetivou-se com esse trabalho avaliar as características produtivas e estruturais de 9 cultivares de Panicum maximum (sin: Megathyrsus maximus)em Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo. O experimento foi realizado na cidade de Guaraí-TO, com implantação de 9 parcela…
Fire risk assessment of historic urban Aggregates
Building rehabilitation, sustainable development, and rural settlements
The quality of life in rural housing settlements is at the heart of territorial cohesion concerns across Europe and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. However, the gap between urban and rural developments remains substantial, stressing the need to adopt integrated approaches for rural territories. These approaches should include heritage preservation strategies as a priority. Vernacular constructions integrate rural built heritage…

Seismic vulnerability assessment of historical urban centres
The necessity of implementing seismic vulnerability assessment procedures to the Portuguese building stock has become urgent as recent predictions indicate the possibility of the occurrence of an earthquake similar to the well-known 1755 Lisbon earthquake within the next 50 years. Obviously, at first instance, large-scale procedures should be used rather than more extensive and accurate methodologies suited for individual buildings assessment. Mo…
