  • Geotechnical Characterization in Lisbon and Surrounding Counties for Earthquake Engineering Proposes
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 2288 GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION IN LISBON AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES FOR EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING PROPOSES Paula TEVES-COSTA1, 2 and Isabel M. ALMEIDA2, 3 SUMMARY The geotechnical soil characterization of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area and Adjacent Counties was based on the analysis of data obtained from geotechnical boreholes, geophysical methods, and laboratory analysis. In order to characterize their seismic behaviour, the soils in this area were classified in 4 different classes. Linear modelling was performed for all soil types, and non-linear modelling for the most vulnerable soil type. The most vulnerable situations were identified, corresponding, in practice, to an increase of 1 or 2 degrees in the observed seismic intensity. INTRODUCTION Through its history, Portugal mainland has experienced the effects of various moderate to strong earthquakes, thus presenting a moderate seismic risk, more important in the Lisbon and Lower Tagus Valley, and Algarve regions. In consequence, the National Civil Protection Service promoted a study of the seismic risk in the Lisbon metropolitan area and adjacent counties, involving technicians and researchers from various institutions. In the adopted methodology, the parish was considered as the analysis unit, and the location of the Parish Board representative of the total parish. The geotechnical soil characterization is of the utmost importance for seismic risk assessment, being used, in particular, for site effect assessment. Those effects may be defined as phenomena originating significant changes in the seismic movement in a given location, increasing the seismic intensity observed by 1 or 2 degrees.

  • Setembro De 2015 PREFÁCIO
    Setembro de 2015 PREFÁCIO O Diagnóstico Social do Parque das Nações é a resposta técnica e política para os desafios presentes e futuros da mais jovem freguesia do País. Esta iniciativa faz parte da matriz de princípios e objetivos traçados no Programa de Desenvolvimento e Progresso para o Par- que das Nações, numa visão 2020. É um compromisso político que se cumpre, não por imperativo de qualquer calendário, mas porque desde o início foi identificada a necessidade de conhecer melhor para agir melhor, em benefício dos cidadãos. O Parque das Nações foi desde a sua génese um território dividido por dois concelhos. Durante anos teve tutelas repartidas entre a Parque Expo, a Câmara de Loures e a Câmara de Lisboa. Esta situação atípica causou com frequência sobreposições e conflitos de informação e de competências entre as várias entidades. A criação da nova Junta de Freguesia do Parque das Nações, sufragada nas urnas nas últimas eleições autárquicas, obedeceu a um desenho do território que junta parcelas que anteriormente se encontravam dispersas sob a gestão de três freguesias e dois concelhos. Era por isso fundamental ter um conhecimento mais detalhado da malha socioeconómica da nova fregue sia. Porque só desta forma é possível planear a prazo as respostas, que vão ao encontro das expectativas dos cidadãos que vivem e residem no Parque das Nações. A caracterização da freguesia permitirá ainda trabalhar uma matriz identitária capaz de unir a comunidade e reforçar o valor cultural económico e simbólico de um espaço, que é parte importante de uma cidade compe titiva no ranking internacional.

  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.

  • The Working-Class Houses and Its Insertion in Urban Areas
    THE WORKING-CLASS HOUSES AND ITS INSERTION IN URBAN AREAS THE 33 MUNICIPAL CASE STUDIES OF THE CITY OF LISBON _________________________________________________________________________________ José Miguel Moreira Correia ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the insertion of 33 municipality working-class houses of in the urban fabric of the city of Lisbon. The methodology adopted was based on the Spatial Syntax theory by using the measurements of choice and integration in a Geographic Information Systems environment. The first step was the analysis of 33 cases studies with normalized angular measures of integration and choice, from the global scale to the local scale with radii of 400 m, 800 m, 1200 m and 2000 m respectively. The second step was a detailed analysis based on the adjacency of the spaces from the public street to the dwellings for a subset of 4 working-class houses, selected due to their type-morphological diversity. From the first analysis (the 33 study cases), it was possible to conclude that the patios and the workers' villages have high insertion values in the neighborhood, highlighting the idea that this type of construction intended to promote the proximity of the dwellings to the factories. At the global level the insertion value is weaker, however with a positive growth trend in the period analyzed (1871 - 2005). For all study cases it was verified that the courtyard acts as an aggregating element of the collective space, although it can be accessed in very different ways, which in translates into a proper identity for each patio/village worker. Keywords: Workforce housing Space Syntax analysis Urban morphology Housing GIS November 2018 INTRODUCTION This work is part of a protocol established between the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) – CERIS research center and the Municipality of Lisbon to study the 33 municipal working-class houses.

  • International Literary Program
    PROGRAM & GUIDE International Literary Program LISBON June 29 July 11 2014 ORGANIZATION SPONSORS SUPPORT GRÉMIO LITERÁRIO Bem-Vindo and Welcome to the fourth annual DISQUIET International Literary Program! We’re thrilled you’re joining us this summer and eagerly await meeting you in the inimitable city of Lisbon – known locally as Lisboa. As you’ll soon see, Lisboa is a city of tremendous vitality and energy, full of stunning, surprising vistas and labyrinthine cobblestone streets. You wander the city much like you wander the unexpected narrative pathways in Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, the program’s namesake. In other words, the city itself is not unlike its greatest writer’s most beguiling text. Thanks to our many partners and sponsors, traveling to Lisbon as part of the DISQUIET program gives participants unique access to Lisboa’s cultural life: from private talks on the history of Fado (aka The Portuguese Blues) in the Fado museum to numerous opportunities to meet with both the leading and up-and- coming Portuguese authors. The year’s program is shaping up to be one of our best yet. Among many other offerings we’ll host a Playwriting workshop for the first time; we have a special panel dedicated to the Three Marias, the celebrated trio of women who collaborated on one of the most subversive books in Portuguese history; and we welcome National Book Award-winner Denis Johnson as this year’s guest writer. Our hope is it all adds up to a singular experience that elevates your writing and affects you in profound and meaningful ways.

Until the end of the year we will still be seeing the publication of very positive figures but which for the most part, in the case of used premises, relate to deals concluded in 2018 and, in the case of new buildings purchased “off-plan”, to deals concluded in some case more than 18 months ago. It is the case of the results published by the INE (National Statistics Institute of Portugal) or the base of Confidencial Imobiliário SIR (Residential Information System) which relate to the information of the Inland Revenue or pre-emption rights of the CML (Lisbon City Hall), when the deed is signed. On the other hand the database of the SIR-RU (Residential-Urban Renewal Information System) relates to sales at the time of closure of the deal and so, if there is an inflection in the market, it will be in this one where it will be felt soonest. Having made this caveat for interpreting the results, we would nevertheless emphasise that the statistics on local prices recently disclosed by the INE (25 July) allow the following conclusions to be drawn: In the period of 12 months ending on 31 March 2019, all Portuguese cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants (those covered in this study) presented positive change in the median for €/m2 compared with the previous period (31.3.2017 to 31.3.2018).
