Contributos da gestão da mobilidade na mudança de mentalidades: o caso do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria

Abstract

Abstract:This article has the main goal of analyzing the potential of mobility management strategies as a solution to reducing environmental, economic and social impacts, resulting from the increasing motorization rates, particularly the academic community. At the same time, it aims to alert to the necessary changes in the mobility patterns supported by sustainable mobility systems. The results of this investigation are based on the activities developed within the European project TAT (Students Today, Citizens Tomorrow) in Campus 2 of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria. That project resulted in the implementation of a set of mobility management measures, in close collaboration with key local stakeholders, which allowed, in particular the promotion of public transport, the use of soft modes and encouraging carpooling practice. To quantify the acceptance and impact of these measures surveys were made to academic population. The data collection occurred in two phases: the first for the characterization of mobility patterns and willingness to change habits of mobility that occurred in the 2007/2008 class period, and the second phase to assess the impact of each measure on the changes in attitude and mobility behavior throughout the years 2009/2010.

Creative Tourism in Vila Nova de Foz Côa:

“…An example of this are the cheese production activities that include the local community and tourists. The interviewees understand the importance that residents have in the practice of creative tourism, reinforcing the idea addressed by Mkono (2012), Urosevic (2012) and Ferreira (2018). The literature also mentions the language barrier, the fear of losing competitive advantage, low trust, lack of time, insufficient organizational capacity, and limited market orientation as a barrier to tourist involvement with the local community (Ferreira, 2018;Dias et al, 2020), while the interviewees refer to lack of motivation of residents as the main factor for low involvement in creative tourism activities.…”

“…Creative tourism activities have given visibility to Vila Nova de Foz Côa, mainly due to local partnerships (E2), as they allow tourists to learn more about local products and interact with the local community (e.g., in visits to wineries and farms, participation in harvesting and cheese making activities) (E1, E4), which is in line with the perspectives of Ferreira (2018) and Gato et al (2020). The plans for further developing creative tourism are to increase and diversify supply and to involve tourists (E1).…”

“…The data obtained were analysed using content analysis, a technique used for the selection, organization, and interpretation of data in a simpler and more structured perspective (Bardin, 2016). The interviews were pre-planned and a script consisting of 19 open-ended questions was developed, based on the studies by Richards and Raymond (2000), UNESCO (2006), Steiner and Reisinger (2006); Wilson (2006, 2007), Kolar andZabkar (2010), Ohridska-Olson andIvanov (2010); Richards (2010), UNCTAD (2010), Carvalho (2011), Richards (2011), Grissemann and Stokburger-Sauer (2012, Santos et al (2012), Urosevic (2012), Tan et al (2013), Cabral et al (2017, Sá (2017), Upadhya and Vij (2017), Campos et al (2018), Ferreira (2018, Thi & Yang (2019), Ye et al (2018), Almeida (2019), Carvalho et al (2019), Dias et al (2020), Gato et al (2020), Serra et al (2020), Wang et al (2020), also considering the defined research objectives (Table 1).…”

Papel Da Comissão De Estágio Probatório Na Avaliação Do Servidor Municipal

“…Na tabela 5 podem ser observadas as principais estratégias utilizadas pelos autores para racionalizar a utilização de automóveis em IES. FERREIRA (2011) transferência modal do automóvel para o transporte público; racionalizar a utilização do automóvel privado, incentivando à prática de carona solidária; dia do carpool; reserva de vaga para quem fornece carona.…”

“…As estratégias para limitar a utilização de automóveis nos estabelecimentos de ensino pode gerar impactos circundantes, pois os usuários que não utilizarem o espaço interno irão estacionar seus veículos no entorno do campus, agravando o problema de acesso e mobilidade em vias externas da IES. Estes problemas podem ser mitigados com as campanhas de conscientização, que contribuem para a mudança de mentalidades (FERREIRA, 2011).…”
