- 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.
- Editorial 48Publication . Gato, Maria Assunção; Cruz, Ana RitaThe thematic dossier in this issue 48 holds special significance for the journal CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios (CITIES, Communities and Territories). It pays a modest tribute to one of its founders, Vítor Matias Ferreira, who passed away a year ago. The dossier includes a collection of testimonies from people who closely followed part of his research journey in urban studies, as well as from the person who helped him establish and strengthen this journal, which we value deeply. A limited number of testimonies will inevitably fall short of capturing the full impact of someone who was actively involved in civic and intellectual life throughout his career, influencing multiple generations. However, as preserving collective memories becomes increasingly crucial in our fast-paced, information-overloaded era that often fosters social apathy, we hope this dossier will spark interest in Vítor Matias Ferreira’s work among younger generations. This would be one of the greatest tributes we can offer him.
- Development of a maturity assessment model for sustainable tourismPublication . Franz, Hannah Carolin; Cruz, Ana RitaSustainability has become one of the most pressing worldwide concerns for the tourism sector. Destination managers face the challenge of developing strategies and assessing their success in pursuing sustainable development. However, the concept of sustainability is still vague, and existing measurement frameworks are complex and fail to sufficiently include relevant factors such as digitalisation. This article adopts a design science research (DSR) approach to address these issues, creating a conceptual solution for assessing sustainability in tourism destinations and providing directions for destinations’ future development based on a maturity model concept. Objectives for this conceptual solution are developed by critically reviewing relevant literature and existing assessment models for sustainable tourism and operationalised by designing a maturity assessment model for sustainable tourism. To validate this model, interviews with tourism experts and stakeholders are conducted in the Algarve region, Portugal. The study concludes by acknowledging limitations and offering directions for further research.
