Geographic Information Systems and Historical Research
It is time to make a critical appraisal of the application of the Geographic Information System (GIS) to historical research. In this article I briefly review the promises and achievements of the use of this technology in history and I also consider some of its possible developments. Based on the experience of a project on the Iberian Peninsula, a special emphasis is put on transnational GIS. In the last section, the new avenues opened by GIS to …
Spatial inequalities in infant survival at an early stage of the longevity revolution
Spatial inequalities in human development are of great concern to international organisations and national governments. Demographic indicators like the infant mortality rate are important measures for determining these inequalities. Using demographic indic
The Evolution of Population Distribution on the Iberian Peninsula
Surpassing the national perspective usually adopted, the authors confirmed the existence of a pattern of population distribution common to the whole Iberian Peninsula in the long run. This pattern is clearly associated with geographical factors. These variables seem to have more weight in explaining changes between 1877/78 and 1940 than in the period from 1940 to 2001. The observation of the cross-border region has shown that proximity to the fro…
Caminhos de ferro, população e desigualdades territoriais em Portugal, 1801-1930
A historiografia sobre os caminhos de ferro em Portugal tem analisado o seu impacto no país como um todo, dando pouca atenção à sua influência na dinâmica populacional. Este artigo defende que os caminhos de ferro estimularam o crescimento da população nas áreas servidas por esta infraestrutura, contribuíram para o desenvolvimento urbano e incentivaram as migrações internas. Porém, os seus efeitos foram desiguais, pois a ferrovia beneficiou as zo…
Population and Railways in Portugal, 1801-1930
Portuguese historiography has mostly adopted a pessimistic view regarding the contribution of the railways to the development of country. Yet, railway access helped to increase population concentration and economic development, favoring migration into towns, the growth of pre-existing urban centers, and the emergence of new centers. But railways tended to be more beneficial to regions that were already prosperous and to aggravate the conditions u…
Em Prol da História Económica e Social
A morte de alguém com quem convivemos durante muito tempo interpela-nos sempre de forma violenta. O sentido da vida, as «certezas» que sobre ela temos, a importância relativa dos nossos pequenos/grandes projectos são nesse momento inelutavelmente questionados. Conheci a Sacuntala de Miranda há muitos anos, cerca de 1980, altura em que ela ingressou como docente na Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas para leccionar, no começo, a disciplina de …
