Mapeamento da vulnerabilidade às alterações climáticas do município de Guimarães

Abstract

As alterações climáticas são uma realidade no desenvolvimento atual do planeta Terra, sendo possível observar a intensificação de desastres naturais que ameaçam comprometer o futuro da humanidade. Assim, torna-se necessário que a população a nível mundial, pela mão das entidades responsáveis, tome medidas para que se possa adaptar às alterações que podem vir a enfrentar no seu dia-a-dia. De forma a entender estes fenómenos é necessário avaliar o impacto das alterações climáticas a nível ambiental e social em cada município/região separadamente. Nesta dissertação realizou-se o mapeamento da vulnerabilidade às alterações climáticas do município de Guimarães especificamente. Para o efeito foi criada uma metodologia baseada em estudos da mesma natureza realizados noutros locais, como é o exemplo da Índia (Mohanty e Wadhawan, 2021) e Bangladesh (Uddin et al., 2019) seguindo as normas das instituições europeias e mundiais relativamente a esta temática. Esta metodologia atribui uma determinada pontuação a cada variável (social ou ambiental) pertencente a cada uma das principais componentes, exposição, sensibilidade e capacidade de adaptação, associada a cada zona do município de acordo com as características da população e do local em estudo. O mapa gerado posteriormente permite combinar num só instrumento dados de diversos domínios de forma a representar a distribuição espacial de um índice de vulnerabilidade do território em estudo. Concluiu-se que o município de Guimarães se encontra de forma geral sob um nível de vulnerabilidade moderado, que a zona mais sensível às alterações climáticas corresponde ao centro da cidade e que a capacidade de adaptação das zonas limítrofes da cidade se encontra num nível muito baixo. Admitiu-se ainda que a avaliação da vulnerabilidade às alterações climáticas deve ser efetuada utilizando valores de ponderação para os indicadores utilizados e que este tipo de análise exige a intervenção de diversas especialidades ligadas a esses mesmos indicadores.

Climate change is a reality in the current development of the planet Earth and it is possible to observe the intensification of natural disasters that threaten to compromise the future of humanity. Thus, it becomes necessary that the world population, by the hand of the responsible entities, take measures so that they can adapt to the changes they may face in their daily lives. In order to understand those phenomena, it is necessary to assess the impact of climate change ate environmental and social level in each municipality/region separately. In this dissertation the mapping of vulnerability to climate change of the municipality of Guimarães was carried out. For this purpose, a methodology was created based on studies of the same nature carried out in other places, such as India (Mohanty and Wadhawan, 2021) and Bangladesh (Uddin et al., 2019) following the standards of European and world institutions regarding this theme. This methodology assigns a certain score to each variable (social or environmental) belonging to each of the main components, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, associated with each zone of the municipality according to the characteristics of the population and the place under study. The map subsequently generated allows combining in a single instrument data from several domains to represent the spatial distribution of a vulnerability index of the territory under study. It was concluded that the municipality of Guimaraes is, in general, under a moderate vulnerability level, that the most sensitive area to climate change corresponds to the city center and that the adaptation capacity of the bordering areas of the city is at a very low level. It was also admitted that the assessment of vulnerability to climate change must be carried out using weighting values for the indicators used and that this kind of analysis requires the intervention of several specialties linked to the same indicators.
