- A antecipação da velhice na meia-idade: uma perspetiva de géneroPublication . Janssens-Theunis, Alyssa; São José, JoséEste artigo reporta os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que procurou compreender, a partir de uma perspetiva de género, como é que os indivíduos na meia-idade antecipam a sua própria velhice. Detetou-se uma grande diversidade de modos de antecipação da própria velhice, bem como marcas de género relativamente à opinião de alguns entrevistados (maioritariamente mulheres) sobre o modo como os homens e as mulheres antecipam a própria velhice e sobre a idade em que eles e elas entram na velhice. Outros entrevistados (maioritariamente homens) acham que as eventuais diferenças entre sexos no que respeita a estes dois temas não têm a ver com o género. São discutidas as implicações destes resultados para o conhecimento sociológico e para as políticas públicas.
- Coagglomeration patterns in portuguese labour-intensive industries: complementarity and specialisation dynamicsPublication . Cesário, MarisaThe aim of this paper is to analyse the patterns of industrial agglomeration in Portugal in order to understand their underlying dynamics. Industries tend to be concentrated geographically, rather than due to random causes, natural advantages or Marshallian forces. Empirically, industry pairwise coagglomeration is measured using the Ellison and Glaeser (1997) metric, with the goal of understanding the complementarity versus specialisation dynamics behind the industrial geographic concentration in Portugal. It is concluded that the most prominent industrial clusters in Portugal are as follows: textiles and clothing, footwear and transport, each one having a different agglomeration dynamic. While some sectors tend to benefit more from the interdependencies along the value chain (meaning vertical industrial relationships, related to complementary dynamics), others are more vulnerable to labour pooling (more to do with horizontal industrial relationships and specialisation dynamics), and others to both. For policymakers, for instance, it is of great use to know exactly the right triggers as the success of any programme results from the suitability of the initiatives being financially supported.
- “E-migrantes” y las redes sociales digitales en la construcción de un espacio transnacional: el caso de los peruanos en PortugalPublication . Marques, João Filipe; Calla Jesús de Sousa, YeseniaEste artículo busca comprender la influencia de las redes sociales digitales (RSD) en la vida cotidiana de los inmigrantes. Se pretende entender de qué manera estas prácticas contribuyen a la construcción de un espacio transnacional, considerando que esta expresión se refiere al mantenimiento de lazos entre los inmigrantes y su país de origen, así como a la formación de vínculos con sus compatriotas que también viven en el extranjero. El artículo recurre al concepto de “e-migrantes” para designar a aquellos que, mediante el uso de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), permanecen conectados entre sí y con su país de origen. Como caso empírico, se estudia a los inmigrantes peruanos residentes en Portugal. La pregunta de investigación fue la siguiente: ¿de qué forma la comunidad peruana que vive en Portugal utiliza las RSD? El artículo se centra en las prácticas que emergen de la apropiación de las plataformas digitales — en particular, la construcción de “comunidades virtuales” — a través de una metodología mixta que incluye el análisis de un conjunto de entrevistas semiestructuradas, una encuesta en línea y datos estadísticos sobre el uso de las RSD.
- Economic reconversion and the creation of new trajectories in peripheral mining regions: proposing a theoretical frameworkPublication . Belisario, Helen; Pinto, Hugo; Guimarães, Liliane de OliveiraSeveral regions around the world face the challenge of renewing their economies when the usual growth trajectory begins to weaken. In territories where a particular economic activity predominates - a lock-in, as in the case of mining regions it is considered essential to define new trajectories that allow for economic diversification following the closure of extraction activities. These regions are at a critical juncture to plan for future diversification. This article seeks, based on the literature of evolutionary economic geography (EEG), to expand the understanding of the relationship between mining in peripheral areas and regional diversification, highlighting the role of regional actors in creating new trajectories, whether related to mining or not. The search for a path creation model that considers social, environmental, and economic aspects is becoming increasingly important, both for civil society and for initiatives from national, international, and regulatory bodies. As such, the discussion about path development has gained significant prominence in political agendas and civil dialogues. The article presents a theoretical framework that cyclically integrates the creation of new trajectories, influenced by the actions of local agents, who also contribute to strengthening territorial resilience.
- Editorial 49Publication . Baião Gato, Maria Assunção; Cruz, Ana RitaIssue 49 of CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios (CITIES, Communities and Territories) features a thematic dossier titled “Between the digital and the urban: readings of the changing space” coordinated by Isabel Carvalho, Sílvia Leiria Viegas, Adriana Nascimento, and Tamara Egler. Digital media are increasingly reshaping how urban life is experienced, represented, and studied. This dossier offers a glimpse into these transformations through 6 articles, 2 essays, and 3 additional contributions exploring the relationship between technology, art and politics. Overall, the authors reflect on how technopower and polarization dynamics take place, namely with reference to a few case studies, while discussing how urban resistance and reconfiguration can be organized around collective initiatives and social movements. These contributions underscore how digital media can enable new forms of knowledge production and civic engagement, inviting researchers to reconsider the boundaries between analysis, intervention, and collaboration in contemporary urban studies.
- Exploração das percepções sobre o emprego na hotelaria no Algarve durante a COVIDPublication . Castela, Guilherme; Henriques, Cláudia Helena; Lampreia Carvalho, Fatima; Afonso, CarlosThe Travel and Tourism (T&T) industry is highly sensitive to extreme events like pandemics (Price et al., 2022; OECD, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the sector, leading to mobility restrictions and closures (Chowdhury and Jomo, 2020). However, it also presented opportunities for innovation (Price et al., 2022). The economic impact on Portugal's GDP was significant, with T&T's contribution dropping from 17.1% in 2019 to 8.7% in 2020 and recovering in subsequent years (WTTC, 2022). Given the Algarve's dependence on tourism, this study highlights the need for new strategies to overcome challenges (EURES, 2022). This research aims to analyse how Algarve's (South of Portugal) hospitality (hotels and restaurants) employers and employees perceived the Portuguese government's measures to address the COVID-19 crisis via a Three-Way Data Analysis multivariate statistical procedure, namely the COSTATIS method, which can be considered a more advanced or specialized version of STATIS, offering more flexibility and refinement in handling complex data relationships. The statistical procedure supports the assessment of 27 varieties of perceptions of the pandemic crisis that were collected from respondents distributed in four hospitality professional categories (restaurant and hotel managers and employees). The conclusions identify that association with a professional category in the hospitality industry tends to affect ideas regarding the potential for coping and resilience associated with organizational challenges. Members of the diverse professional categories think of the crisis in different ways due to their status and hierarchic position in business organisations. More attention should be given to what those professionals with lower status have to say about the organisational climate in the event of future crises.
- Exploring the use of data envelopment analysis for formative evaluation of senior high schools in ghanaPublication . Aikins, Emmanuel; Pereira dos Santos, Sérgio; Amado, CarlaThis study explores the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the formative evaluation of senior high schools (SHS) in Ghana and investigates how the DEA results can help improve their performance. By assessing the relative performance of 215 public SHS across five regions (Greater Accra Region, Ashanti Region, Central Region, Upper West Region, and Upper East Region), the study contributes to the broader discourse on knowledge-based economies by demonstrating how data-driven insights can optimize resource allocation and improve human capital development. The schools are classified into groups A, B, and C based on students’ entrance examination scores, and a hierarchical categorization DEA procedure is applied to assess them across three dimensions: resource efficiency, resource effectiveness, and effectiveness. This study highlights the crucial role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application in education management by fostering deep engagement with decision-makers, ensuring the acceptance of DEA results, and promoting continuous improvement in institutional performance. The findings reveal significant disparities in school efficiency and effectiveness, underscoring the need for structured knowledge-sharing mechanisms. To support sustained performance improvement and better resource utilization, we propose the establishment of an educational performance observatory. This initiative would function as a platform for knowledge diffusion, enabling underperforming schools to benchmark against high-performing institutions, thus reinforcing the foundational role of knowledge exchange in strengthening educational systems and, by extension, the knowledge economy.
- Factors influencing access to finance among jordanian SMEs: examining the role of P2P lending fintech, information asymmetry, transaction cost, and financial literacyPublication . Doumi, Ammar Fakhri; Begum, Halima; Doumi, Fakhri Bani; Alam, A. S. A. FerdousThe aim of this research is to examine the correlation between Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending financial technology (Fintech), information asymmetry, transaction cost, financial literacy, and access to finance among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. The study used Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data collected from a sample of 335 SMEs in Jordan. The study’s findings indicate that information asymmetry and transaction cost have a notable and adverse impact on access to finance. On the other hand, P2P lending Fintech has no direct effect on access to finance. Additionally, financial literacy significantly moderates the relationship between P2P lending and access to finance among SMEs. In conclusion, P2P lending Fintech has been proven to help Jordanian SMEs’ access financing when financial literacy interacts as a moderator. This study contributes to the extant literature on how financial literacy moderates the relationship between P2P lending and SMEs’ access to finance. Finally, the results of this research benefit SMEs’ owners/managers by providing them with empirically validated insights into the factors that affect their ability to access financing. Additional research should investigate many categories of Fintech tools, such as crowdfunding, blockchain, and other related technologies. Furthermore, it is necessary to examine additional factors that impact the ability to get financial resources, such as collateral and management risk, and it is important to assess the influence of financial management regulations on these factors.
- Integrated continued care as a space for collective action: the strategic actor game in the era of artificial intelligencePublication . Soares Pinheiro Vieira Pescada, Susana; Teixeira, Fernando José Calado e Silva NunesPurpose – This study aims to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape the governance and operations of the National Integrated Continued Care Network (NICCN) in Alentejo, Portugal. It addresses the dual challenge of population ageing and fragmented coordination between health and social care, assessing how AI-enabled solutions can foster more responsive, efficient and integrated care delivery. Design/methodology/approach – Using the Actors, Objectives, Power Relations Method (MACTOR), the research examines strategic influence and alignment among 27 institutional actors ranging from regional authorities and hospitals to primary care units and third-sector organisations. The study applies an AI-focused lens to assess its transformative role in organisational structures, professional responsibilities and decisionmaking processes within the NICCN. Findings – AI demonstrates clear potential to enhance patient monitoring, enable predictive planning and streamline administrative processes. Nonetheless, implementation is hindered by institutional silos and a high reliance on regional actors. Entities such as Private Social Solidarity Institutions and Continued Care Units are well placed to benefit from AI tools. However, effective deployment demands robust leadership to bridge digital skills gaps, manage workforce transitions and establish collaborative, technologysupported care pathways. Originality/value – By integrating strategic action theory with an AI-informed perspective, this study offers novel insights into the systemic transformation of integrated care governance. It provides practical recommendations for policymakers and health-care managers seeking to promote AI-enabled care models that are socially responsive and future-oriented.
- Measuring the effect of deprivation on primary health care performance using data envelopment analysis and Malmquist IndicesPublication . Merelie, Holly Bea; Amado, Carla; Pereira dos Santos, SérgioLife expectancy is typically shorter in areas with higher deprivation, highlighting the need for policymakers and health care managers to focus on reducing health inequalities through efficient and effective care. This study aims to assess the impact of deprivation on primary health care performance using data from the National Health Service (NHS) in England. Two methods are applied: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the performance of 188 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), whose duties were recently taken on by the new Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), and the Malmquist Index (MI) to assess deprivation’s effect on performance. The DEA results reveal significant variation among CCGs in equity, efficiency, and effectiveness, indicating substantial room for improvement. The MI results show that while CCGs in more deprived areas had more resources per capita and higher efficiency, they were generally less effective than those in less deprived areas. This emphasizes the need to enhance health and social policies to address persistent health inequalities due to deprivation, a critical challenge for the new ICSs. This study illustrates how DEA and the MI can support policymakers and managers in this effort.
