  • Evaluation of stakeholder perspectives on the management of the stalked barnacles (Pollicipes pollicipes) resource in the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina, Portugal
    Publication . Stewart, Akilah Tehresa Makini; Icely, John David
    The Stalked barnacle, Pollicipes pollicipes (perceve) is a shellfish resource which has been traditionally harvested by coastal communities of Portugal since ancient times. In the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vincentina, (PNSACV), South-western coast of Portugal, considerable harvesting of this resource occurs, but in recent years there have been concerns about overharvesting. It has attracted increased harvesting pressure due to its high market value. To address the overexploitation of this resource, legislation was formulated but with limited consensus from all respective stakeholders. Sustainable resource use and management must begin by assessing socio-economic and cultural issues surrounding its harvest. This thesis aims to identify and to assess the perspectives of shelf fisher, community, restaurant and freguesia president stakeholders through the use of questionnaire surveys and interviews. The majority of stakeholders believed that the resource was overharvested and that they should be included in legislation formulation. They were divided on the level of enforcement, the licence distribution process and how restrictive the park management was. Two desirable recommendations from the stakeholders themselves are the re-establishment of Vila do Bispo ‘Perceve’ Market and that the Stalked barnacle should only be sold within the PNSACV. Other recommendations include that the temporal closure period, September 15th - December 15th should be reconsidered. Also the documentation of the Stalked barnacles’ fisheries landings, for monitoring of the resource for conservation purposes, should be improved. In the future, defining stakeholder issues could make possible the use of KerDST Deliberation Tool of the SPICOSA Framework to facilitate achieving stakeholder consensus.

  • As origens e desenvolvimento do ensino em Faro
    Publication . Mesquita, José Carlos Vilhena
    São intrinsecamente religiosas as origens do ensino em Portugal. E se nos primeiros tempos cabia aos Dominicanos, Beneditinos, Agostinianos a missão de educar, a partir de meados do século XVI o ensino tornara-se praticamente monopólio dos inacianos. A reforma Pombalina do ensino constitui a pedra basilar do nosso sistema educativo. Essa reforma atribuía a todas as cidades e vilas do reino uma escola de «aprender a ler, escrever e contar». Em 1836, Manuel da Silva Passos, procedeu ao reordenamento educativo, criando os Liceus Nacionais, as Escolas Médico-Cirúgicas, as Escolas Politécnica de Lisboa e do Porto, o Conservatório de Arte Dramática, as Academias de Belas Artes de Lisboa e do Porto, a Escola do Exército, etc. Nunca se tinha ido tão longe numa reforma educativa. Em 1849 abriu portas o Liceu de Faro. Daí por diante, assiste-se à fundação das escolas de Desenho Industrial Pedro Nunes, a Escola Primária Superior, a Escola Normal Superior, a Escola Comercial e Industrial Tomás Cabreira, o Magistério Primário, a Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo, o Instituto Politécnico e a Universidade do Algarve.
