    Water and the city: Valorising Guimarães water heritage for tourism
    2020 - Freitas, Isabel Vaz de; Ramazanova, Makhabbat
    Water is the most important natural source of human existence and the main element of the socio-economic development of any industry. Water is an essential in meaningful experience of the visitors, who have an internal relation with this touristic resource as an attraction. As a cultural resource is associated with symbolic and artistic meanings. In urban areas where water is often ignored and its heritage elements are underestimated, the valorisation of its heritage elements and natural state is essential to create a safeguard and protection attitude towards this vital asset of life. To value is to recognise importance, to understand significance, to act towards conservation in both natural and cultural angles, particularly in cities where the conservation of water resources is critical and ignored in an urban development process. In this perspective, the present study attempts to analyse the water heritage state in the historical city Guimarães with the aim to valorise the water heritage resources linked to traditions and local historical narratives. Giving significance to those historical assets, aims to promote sustainable use and sustainable visit development. In this context, it is important to understand the residents’ view about the water presence in Guimarães, to understand the local opinion about the valorisation of water heritage for tourism and to understand what could the city do in conservation and the implementation of sustainable attitude related with this vital resource.

    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.
