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.engCernache do BonjardimResilient CommunitiesTerritoryHeritagePortugalbook part
