O plano de deslocações urbanas e a resposta estratégica que falta aos PROTs e PDMs: A descentralização do planeamento do território e dos transportes

The sustainable urban mobility plan is the framework of planning and organisation of mobility system. It is a strategic and operational plan with consequences in the planning and organisation of territorial and transport systems. When it’s defining the principles and the objectives of sustainable development and when it’s working in the scenarios of modal shift more favourable to the alternative modes than the car, the planning and the organisation of territory will be integrated on the political of reduction of road circulation volumes, in the reduction of GEE, waste of space and time, in the improvement of quality of urban environment. The Urbanism Agencies and the Urban Transport Authorities will get their selves in the urban mobility plan, in territory scenarios development, mobility and transports, with the objective to understand the sustainable politics in the accessibilities which are available by the transportation bill. In Portugal, although the authorities are not yet working, the law (1/2009) recently approved in last December and published at the beginning of the year, they have the sustainable urban mobility plans forward in this strategy.

A passagem à reforma : um estudo exploratório sobre mulheres profissionalizadas na sociedade portuguesa

RESUMO: Devido às mudanças políticas e sociais que ocorreram no passado, a proporção de mulheres activas no mercado de trabalho tem vindo a aumentar, e neste sentido, cada vez mais mulheres têm vindo a entrar na reforma. As recentes evoluções demográficas mostram um crescente envelhecimento populacional caracterizado por um aumento da proporção de pessoas idosas e pela sua maior longevidade. As mulheres são em número superior, no entanto, a realidade da mulher portuguesa reformada tem sido pouco avaliada sob o ponto de vista em que decorre esta transição. A passagem à reforma é um momento fulcral para conhecer como se adaptam os indivíduos a uma nova etapa da sua vida que é actualmente vivida por mais tempo, e que representa também a passagem para outra categoria social, a categoria de reformado. Condicionantes sociais, culturais e individuais, contribuem para modelar esta transição e o ajustamento à mesma. A reforma para as mulheres deverá corresponder a uma etapa com características únicas, devido às particularidades em termos profissionais e sociais que as distinguem dos homens. Pretende-se neste trabalho “dar voz” às mulheres portuguesas que tiveram uma carreira profissional e conhecer as suas experiências de transição para a reforma e a forma como vivem esta condição. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com mulheres portuguesas profissionais reformadas, cujos conteúdos foram analisados em torno das seguintes categorias: sentimentos vividos; planeamento e motivações para a passagem à reforma; relação com o trabalho; noção de si própria; gestão de tempo e organização quotidiana e interacções familiares e sociais.-------- ABSTRACT: Due to past political and social changes the number of women working actively in the labor market is growing. This implies that, more women are also entering in the retirement period. Recent demographic trends show an increasing ageing population, characterized by a higher proportion of elderly people, and a higher longevity. Women’s proportion outnumbers older men, yet the reality of Portuguese retired women has been poorly evaluated in regard to this transition process. Retirement transition is a crucial period to understand how individuals adapt to a new stage in their life, that is actually being enjoyed for a longer period and that also represents the transition to retiree’s social role. Social, cultural and individual conditions help to shape this transition and adjustment to it. Retirement for women should be an event with unique features, mostly because of the peculiarities in professional and social relationships, distinct from men. Through in-depth interviews, we explored how Portuguese women, who had a professional career, experience the retirement transition and how they live this new condition. The women’s narratives were analyzed within the following categories: experienced feelings, planning and motivation for retirement; notion of self; time management and daily organization; family and social interactions.
