- Resiliência de comunidades rurais: a freguesia de Cernache do Bonjardim, PortugalPublication . Marçal Gonçalves, Marta; Pérez Cano, María Teresa; Rosendahl, StefanA temática abordada neste artigo é a resiliência de uma comunidade rural, situada no interior de Portugal continental. O objectivo foi retratar a resiliência desta comunidade e elaborarem-se análises posteriores para percepção dos pontos positivos e negativos apresentados. Actualmente a resiliência de uma comunidade é bastante discutida, mas não foram encontrados em Portugal, estudos que quantificassem ou permitissem percepcionar a real resiliência de uma comunidade rural. Para se conseguir este objectivo, foram feitas pesquisas bibliográficas que ajudaram a compreender esta questão e foram elaborados inquéritos, com base no método utilizado, para se conseguir delinear a questão. O principal resultado foi a confirmação do que se intuía na prática, o que veio a confirmar-se à posteriori: que a freguesia em estudo tem uma resiliência inata, mas que esta corre o risco de desaparecer devido ao problema da desertificação.
- Heritage as a structuring factor of the territories' resiliencePublication . Marçal Gonçalves, Marta; Pérez Cano, María Teresa; Rosendahl, StefanThis work results from a doctoral thesis, being applied to the parish of Cernache do Bonjardim, Portugal, which proved to be a very rich source of study. It was proved what was intuited: the Cernachense (natural from Cernache’s parrish) have a great sense of place and identity. Despite all the setbacks, the one who prefers to stay, is naturally enterprising and multifaceted. The research that underlies this subject has proven to increase the concern to maintain the heritage and the valorisation of the parish, as a result of the intrinsic curiosity of these people, with the desire to perceive and to value what surrounds them, looking for suggestions to energize their land. Territorial and community resilience analysis were carried out, the latter being a pioneer in Portugal.
- A glimpse at impacts and resilience in the Parish of Cernache do Bonjardim, PortugalPublication . Marçal Gonçalves, Marta; Pérez Cano, María Teresa; Rosendahl, StefanThe object of study here is the parish of Cernache do Bonjardim in central Portugal and in accordance with the territorial boundaries in effect until 2013. The motivation for producing this article is that the results of the 2021 census are due for publication and may enable the building of relationships between these data and the resilience of the community in this parish. Based on the resilience of rural communities' concept, and through analysis of statistical data, we aim to understand how the variations in population and accommodation influence the different parameters of community resilience. The relevance of this work derives from its object of study and the actuality of the data. The starting data are those provided by the national institutions for the last three censuses. As there were administrative changes and impacts on the community in the last decade, there was the need to process the data to be able to analyse the studied parish in isolation. The findings demonstrate how the negative trends have continued over the last two decades, exacerbating the problems of desertification and population ageing. Therefore, the problems affecting the resilience of this community have also remained the same. As expected, the community of the parish studied proved to be resilient, despite all the setbacks and impacts suffered, as reflected in the various works developed both on this topic and on this community.
- Water, wells, wheels and wealthPublication . Marçal Gonçalves, Marta; Pérez Cano, María Teresa; Rosendahl, Stefan; Rogério Amoêda; Sérgio Lira; Cristina Pinheiro; J. M. S. Zaragoza; J. C. Serrano; F. G. CarrilloWater, essential to life, is also fundamental to the economy of the rural territories, originating innumerable vernacular heritage. Throughout the investigation carried out on the heritage of the parish of Cernache do Bonjardim, Portugal, it was verified that its water-related heritage was numerous and diversified, having a lot of potential in several ways. The paper’s scope is the description and dissemination of this type of vernacular heritage, recording this information so that it can be used for later actions. Often, the attitude of the inhabitants became proactive, as they didn’t wait for local power’s initiatives to carry out maintenance of some places, demonstrating pride and social responsibility. This paper also enables the knowing of this subject, making it an element of work for decision makers, allowing the improvement of several aspects of the Planning of this Territory.
