Abstract(s)
Ao longo dos anos, o clima tem vindo a alterar-se e são cada vez mais notórias as suas
consequências; os incêndios florestais, que são, há décadas, um grave problema a nível
ambiental, social e económico, são um exemplo.
Os incêndios têm diversas causas associadas, e apesar de serem sazonais, o que se tem
observado, devido, em grande medida, às alterações climáticas, é o alargamento do
período em que ocorrem, um maior número de incêndios e uma maior velocidade de
propagação. A intervenção humana é muito importante e pode representar um papel
decisivo tanto na origem dos incêndios, como na sua evolução e extinção. Para atenuar
algumas das consequências das alterações climáticas torna-se essencial apostar em
medidas de mitigação e de adaptação.
O objetivo desta dissertação é captar o modo como os indivíduos percecionam,
experienciam e reagem aos fogos florestais no concelho de Trancoso. Optou-se nesta
investigação pela metodologia qualitativa e recorreu-se à técnica de entrevistas
semiestruturadas. A amostra contempla Presidentes de Junta de Freguesia, bombeiros e
indivíduos com características sociodemográficas diversificadas.
Over the years, the climate has been changing and its consequences are increasingly notorious; forest fires, which have been a serious environmental, social, and economic problem for decades, are an example. Fires have several associated causes, and although they are seasonal, what has been observed largely due to climate change is the extension of the period in which they occur, a greater number of fires and a greater speed of propagation. Human intervention is very important and can play a decisive role both in the origin of fires and in their evolution and extinction. To attenuate some of the consequences of climate change, it is essential to focus on mitigation and adaptation measures. The aim of this dissertation is to capture how individuals perceive, experience and react to forest fires in the municipality of Trancoso. In this research, it was chosen the qualitative methodology and it was used the technique of semi-structured interviews. The sample includes Parish Council Presidents, firefighters and individuals with several sociodemographic characteristics.
