Este atlas digital – alojado em http://dourozone.web.ua.pt/atlas e com acesso direto através do site do projeto: http://dourozone.web.ua.pt - disponibiliza uma estrutura em árvore, com 3 opções possíveis de visualização, que permitem avaliar a situação do clima presente e o impacte de alterações climáticas (futuro de médio e de longo prazo)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

As such, it is acknowledged the importance of analysing the spatial distribution of health services and the percentage of population covered by the existing health network for policy-making. Thus, the focus of this paper is to analyse and map the geographic access to primary and secondary healthcare services in Portugal. In order to assess the geographic access, several isochronous with a routing algorithm in PostgreSQL/Postgis were created, which allowed the analysis of different travel time and its evaluation according to both the national guidelines. Findings show that, despite a general high spatial coverage, regional disparities persist, with the Metropolitan Areas of Lisbon and Porto showing the best results. portuguesA procura da igualdade de acesso aos cuidados de saude primarios e secundarios por parte de todos os cidadaos, independentemente do...

This chapter aims to explore and test the potential development of a digital tool capable of offering accurate, updated, and extended information on care providers and services as well as access to care facilities. Overall, this application is perceived as useful in conveying a wider knowledge of healthcare options that may not only foster more informed and rational choices, but also help policymakers to understand the main factors underlying citizens' choices of healthcare providers.

Physical activity and sports are a central part of individuals’ lives throughout the life cycle. ... more Physical activity and sports are a central part of individuals’ lives throughout the life cycle. During adolescence, its regular practice may contribute to the development of healthy adult lifestyles, decreasing chronic disease incidence. Therefore, the reasons that drive adolescents to start practicing sports in a certain club may be multiple and understanding such causes can be important to design and implement public policies to promote active lifestyles for everyone. In this article, we report the core findings of a research on why young athletes do sports, how they choose their team-training club and how COVID-19 has had an impact on their routines. From a methodological viewpoint, a questionnaire was developed and sent to sport clubs located in NUTS2 Centro Region, Portugal, and results were analyzed through the use of geographic information systems and statistical analysis, namely association tests (Chi-square test), difference tests (Mann–Whitney test and Kruskal–Wallis test...
