Prevenção e Mitigação de Incêndios Florestais na Interface Urbano Florestal: Análise dos Programas Aldeia Segura e Pessoas Seguras
| Resumo: | The outbreak of forest fires at the wildland urban interface has become increasingly recurrent, due to the urbanisation of the forest or, on the other hand, to the abandonment of land used for subsistence farming, which causes the forest to advance towards the urban fabric. Due to their characteristics, major forest fires are caused at the wildland urban interface, an example of which are the fires that occurred in 2017 in Portugal, resulting in numerous fatalities and social, natural and economic losses.It is assumed that small settlements do not have the same conditions for protection and help as urban centres, due to the lack of services, so forest fire prevention and self- protection programmes have been created around the world, such as Firewise and Firesmart, which have become success stories. Also in 2018, the "Aldeia Segura" and "Pessoas Seguras" programmes were created in Portugal, however a slowdown in the implementation of measures is noticeable throughout the country.The aim of this work is therefore to identify the level of achievement of the implementation measures of the settlements included in the programmes, dated 31 July 2021, using surveys and interviews at a later stage with a view to identifying the reasons for these delays.In the final part of the paper recommendations are made, based also on the methodology used in the implementation of the Firewise and Firesmart programmes, in order to add improvements to the “Aldeia Segura” and “Pessoas Seguras” programmes. |
