    Urban landscape and tourism in the Historic Centre of Porto: The perception of residents
    2017 - Ribeiro, Susana; Yasar, Sidal; Freitas, Isabel Vaz de; Marques, Jorge
    This study aims to discuss the relationship between tourism and the urban landscape in the city of Porto, opening a dialogue around the creation of comparative dynamics between cities. The urban landscape has been analysed and studied by several authors under different perspectives that have been revised in the theoretical and methodological framework of the study presented here. In this case, we are interested in studying the landscape of Porto, a city on the rise in tourist?s numbers. It is intended to diagnose the local resident's perceptions about the landscape of the Historic Centre and reflect on tourist impacts motivated by the growth of its visitors and the highly intensive use of public spaces. The diagnosis of the landscape relates to directional signage, outdoor advertising, out-door terrace furniture of restaurants and similar, urban furniture, gardens and natural elements, traffic, cleaning, pedestrian areas, visitor flow, conservation of monuments, museums and buildings. The components inevitably put in the same urban image context residents and tourism who acquire and share the local experiences. This diagnosis will be an important dialogue basis regarding processes of urban landscape improvement and will allow reflection on the normative discourses that managers intent to materialize.

    Tourism in Porto's Historic Centre: Analysing risks and safeguarding of the landscape
    2019 - Sousa, Cristina; Ribeiro, Susana; Yasar, Sidal; Pires, Hugo; Freitas, Isabel Vaz de; Marques, Jorge
    Tourism in Porto has been growing accompanied by some changes in the city dynamics. In this context, more risks related to the intensive use of city spaces and services to arise. The increase in the annual number of visitors in the city demands a special attention to protect the landscape and urban elements and preserve the city's identity, originality and diversity. Therefor, this study aimed to analyse the visitor's perception of the urban landscape to identify necessary actions to be taken for the sustainable tourism development in Porto. Seven dimensions of the urban landscape were studied in this research, including the pedestrian directional signalling, outdoor advertising, street furniture, green spaces, city traffic, influx of tourists , and conservation status of buildings, monuments and museums. A total of 150 valid surveys were collected from visitors from thirty-one different countries. The results indicated that respondents were satisfied with the city's environment, monuments and culture. However, low satisfaction indicators on dimensions regarding the traffic, green spaces and the conservation of buildings suggest the need to make new regulations by the city's decision-makers.

    2018 - Rodrigues, Carlos; Sousa, Cristina; Marques, Jorge; Freitas, Isabel Vaz de
    The issue of the landscape quality or, more precisely, of its goal was addressed in the European Landscape Convention in 2000 to guide the public authorities and the aspirations of the population concerning their characteristics. It also happens regarding the landscape management that leads the authors to a sustainable development preservation, orientating and conciliating the changes that result from the human interaction with the environment. For a research on urban landscapes management, it is proposed a methodological analysis to the case study of Porto (Portugal) with a historical approach to understand how the increasing pressure of tourism is manifested on its image. The main goal is to identify the quality of the landscape and guide its sustainability towards a constant monitoring of images perception.
