    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.

    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.
