G.Publicado em "Recent Advances in Engineering Mechanics, Structures and Urban Planning" (ISBN : 978-1-61804-165-4) ; Mathematics and Computers in Science and Engineering Series, 8 (ISSN : 2227-4588) ; Conventionally, midsized cities in Portugal, as well as in other European countries, are characterized by higher densities of population and households in relation to its surroundings, mainly at the municipality...
The influence of air pollution in the selection of healthy routes forwalking an...
Ribeiro, Paulo; Mendes, José F. G.In this paper, a model for generation of alternative routes for walking and cycling will be presented, taking into account the impact of environmental noise and air pollution in urban areas. The main objective resides in the reduction of the exposure level and risk of development of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Depending on the type of optimization criteria, the output of the model could be the leas...

The first choice to be made in the design process is relate to the zoning process and the definition of the lot layout and landscape. These first decisions will constrain all subsequent decisions concerning utilities, facilities and amenities. For this reason, the assessment of thos...
Electric mobility in Portugal : municipal plans for its promotion
Ribeiro, Paulo; Mendes, José F. G.; Ramos, Rui A. R.The electric mobility program in Portugal is based on four strategic areas, namely the business model, infrastructure, incentives and communication, also supported by a completely adjusted legislation, which is subjacent to the priorities defined in the Portuguese Program for Electric Mobility. A Model for Electric Mobility was also defined, supported by four main components: the value chain, actors, charging n...
City Noise-Air : an environmental quality index for cities
Silva, Lígia Torres; Mendes, José F. G.Global population growth has led to an increase of the number of people living in urban areas. As a consequence, stresses on space, ecosystems, infrastructures, facilities and personal lifestyles have been enhanced. Problems related to the quality of life in cities are increasingly relevant, especially with regard to environmental issues. Domestic and industrial sources and, primarily, motorised traffic are res...

Ribeiro, Paulo; Arsénio, Elisabete; Mendes, José F. G.Mobility has an important impact on the overall functioning of cities and quality of life of citizens. On the other hand, motorized road traffic is associated with high levels of noise and air pollutant emissions along with congestion and other externalities, leading to considerable social and environmental costs and degradation of human health. Following the World Health Organization, physical inac...
Análise de intervisibilidade um caso de estudo em Valença, Portugal
Landovsky, Geraldo S.; Mendes, José F. G.As questões ligadas ao estudo da visibilidade de cenários naturais ou artificiais são consideradas de grande importância na elaboração e implantação de projectos, pois permitem a avaliação das alterações nos aspectos visuais do território através de simulações de cenários e da visualização tridimensional. O presente trabalho apresenta um arcabouço teórico básico referente à análise de intervisibilidade, através...
Industrial contribution to the air quality of one mid-sized portuguese city
Silva, Lígia Torres; Mendes, José F. G.Urban air pollution became one of the main factors of degradation of the quality of life in cities. This problem tends to worsen due to the unbalanced development of urban spaces and the incompatibilities of uses. In urban environment the typical anthropogenic sources are mainly the road traffic and, when existing, the industrial activity. The present work was performed to attain the following objectives: to ...
