In 13 the context of climate change adaptation strategies, a reliable and accurate assessment of the 14 physical vulnerability to SLR is crucial. This study is a contribution to the implementation of 15 flooding standards imposed by the European Directive 2007/60/EC, which requires each member 16 state to assess the risk associated to SLR and floods caused by extreme events. Therefore, coastal 17 hazard in the Continental Atlantic coast of Portugal Mainland was evaluated for 2025, 2050 and 18 2100 in the whole coastal extension with different sea level scenarios for different extreme event 19 return periods and due to SLR. A coastal flooding probabilistic map was produced based on the 20 developed methodology using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology.

  • A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment Due to Sea Level Rise: a Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’S Mainland
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 27 December 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201912.0366.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Water 2020, 12, 360; doi:10.3390/w12020360 Article A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment due to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’s Mainland Carolina Rocha 1, Carlos Antunes 1,2* and Cristina Catita 1,2 1 Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] 2 Instituto Dom Luiz, Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351 21 7500839 Abstract: The sea level rise, a consequence of climate change, is one of the biggest challenges that countries and regions with coastal lowland areas will face in the medium term. This study proposes a methodology for assessing the vulnerability to sea level rise (SLR) on the Atlantic coast of Portugal mainland. Some scenarios of extreme sea level for different return periods and extreme flooding events were estimated for 2050 and 2100, as proposed by the European Union Directive 2007/60/EC. A set of physical parameters are considered for the multi-attribute analysis technique implemented by the Analytic Hierarchy Process, in order to define a Physical Vulnerability Index fundamental to assess coastal vulnerability. For each SLR scenario, coastal vulnerability maps, with spatial resolution of 20 m, are produced at national scale to identify areas most at risk of SLR, constituting key documents for triggering adaptation plans for such vulnerable regions. For 2050 and 2100, it is estimated 903 km2 and 1146 km2 of vulnerable area, respectively, being the district of Lisbon the most vulnerable district in both scenarios.

  • Seismic Risk Assessment of Lisbon Metropolitan Area Under a Recurrence of the 1755 Earthquake with Tsunami Inundation
    Seismic Risk Assessment of Lisbon Metropolitan Area under a Recurrence of the 1755 Earthquake with Tsunami Inundation Y. Tang, Y. Yin, K. Hill, V. Katiyar, A. Nasseri & T. Lai AIR Worldwide Corporation, U.S.A. SUMMARY: The Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) has the largest population and property concentration in Portugal. Located near the Eurasia–Africa plate boundary and facing the Atlantic Ocean, the AML is prone to great offshore earthquakes that may trigger tsunami. In history, Lisbon was destroyed by earthquake and tsunami in 1531 and 1755, respectively. Given the growth and expansion of the exposure in last two centuries, a presumed recurrence of the 1755 earthquake would result in a totally different loss scenario in the AML, which is of interest to the disaster preparedness and emergency management. This paper studies the existing building stock in the AML, discusses the vulnerability of built environment to ground shake and tsunami, and conducts loss modelling for the AML subjected to simulated ground motion and tsunami wave of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Finally, the loss scenario will be discussed and inferred for disaster mitigation. Keywords: seismic risk, building vulnerability, tsunami, Lisbon 1. INTRODUCTION The Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) is a territorial zone in Portugal that includes 18 municipalities, nine from Lisbon District north of the Tagus River and the rest from Setúbal District south of the Tagus (see Fig.1.1(a)). The AML has an area of 2,957.4 km2 and a population of more than 2.8 million today. About one fourth of the Portuguese population lives in the AML.

  • Road Accidents and Their Costs: Case Study : IC19 Summary
    Road accidents and their costs: Case study : IC19 Summary It is estimated that road accidents are responsible for over 1.2 million fatalities every year, all over the world. In the countries that belong to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the death toll from these accidents rises up to 180.000. The data for 2007 points to 42 854 dead on European roads (EU 27), which represents a substantial reduction compared to 1997's 60 267 fatalities. In Portugal, road accidents alone represent the first cause of non natural deaths, with 776 fatalities in 2008, according to data from the Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária (ANSR). In view of these facts, government entities have implemented a set of measures and actions to prevent road accidents. The most important of these measures was the implementation of Operation Zero Tolerance, Maximum Security when António Guterres was in office as Prime-Minister (between 1999 and 2002), the implementation of the Plano Nacional de Prevenção Rodoviária (PNPR), in 2003, under the PSD/CDS PP coalition government led by Durão Barroso and the National Strategy for Road Safety's (ENSR) implementation in 2008. This strategy was implemented by the joint action of the National Authority for Road Safety (ANSR) and the ISCTE, during the term of office of José Sócrates as Prime - Minister of the socialist government. Governo PS Governo PSD/CDS Governo PS PP Figure 1 – Statistics of the number of accidents with injured, seriously injured and fatalities in Portugal– 1999-2007 The mainland Portugal's road accidents were analysed, between 1999 and 2007 and a significant reduction of all road accident indicators taken in account (number of accidents with victims, number of fatalities, injured and seriously injured) was verified.

  • The Rental Market Main Opportunities and Weaknesses Facing Owner-Occupied Housing Market
    The rental market Main Opportunities and Weaknesses facing Owner-occupied Housing Market Inês Quental e Melo Abstract The issue of housing has been very much discussed over the years. Housing Policies implemented were not always successful and accepted by all stakeholders. Current severe economic crisis throughout the world triggered a higher demand on rental dwellings. Despite the sharp fall of interest rates on mortgages, financial institutions do not see the credits in the same way and therefore housing rental market appear as a second option. In this sense it creates opportunities to boost the rental market making this a solution to inhabit part of the options of the population. This dissertation includes a literature review on housing policies of the past decades with emphasis on the role of the Public Administration in the rental market, particularly in the rents freezing. Examining the Portuguese housing stock it is possible to see the high number of dwellings and decaying buildings with no housing conditions, due to old contracts with leases out of date. The new legal urban rents framework has brought improvements to the new contracts but continues to be very restrictive in the old contracts, namely, the process of updating rental values is very complex, penalizing the owners and over protecting the tenants even in cases lack of payment A more focused analysis in the municipality of Lisbon, based on the issues discussed above, seeks to study the dynamics of existing housing, trying to justify the abandonment of the Central areas and develop strategies to revive the housing market. Key Words: Housing Housing Policies Owner-occupied housing market Rental Market Legal urban rents framework Introduction The theme of this article focuses on the Rental Market and its potential as an option for seeking residence.

  • The House of the Marquises of Castelo Rodrigo
    An Aristocratic Economy in Portugal in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century: The House of the Marquises of Castelo Rodrigo João Paulo Salvado1 Abstract This article examines the main characteristics of the economic governance of the estate of the Marquises of Castelo Rodrigo, one of the largest Portuguese noble houses of the first half of the seventeenth century. Themes such as the formation of the house’s patrimony and its management, the source of its income, and its spending and investment strategies, are all analyzed here, based on two accounting surveys that were produced by the house itself. It is hoped that in this way a contribution may be made towards a better understanding of the economic aspects of Portuguese aristocratic estates in this period. Keywords Marquises of Castelo Rodrigo; noble household; patrimony; rents; Portugal; sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Resumo O presente estudo examina as principais características do governo económico da casa dos marqueses de Castelo Rodrigo, uma das maiores casas nobiliárquicas portuguesas da primeira metade do século XVII. Temas como a constituição do património e sua gestão, a matriz dos seus rendimentos, as estratégias de dispêndio e investimento encontram aqui espaço de análise, construído a partir de dois instrumentos contabilísticos produzidos pela própria casa. Assim se espera contribuir para um conhecimento mais aprofundado da dimensão económica das casas senhoriais portuguesas neste período cronológico.
