Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Lopes, Hélder Silva; Magalhães, Susana; Estrada, RuiAs alterações climáticas (AC) são a maior evidência da “metamorfose do mundo” e estão a mudar os regimes de temperatura e de pluviosidade, mas também os sistemas sociais, culturais e de saúde no planeta Terra. A imprevisibilidade dos fenómenos climáticos e os seus impactes multidimensionais na saúde humana e ambiental contribuem para tornar a nossa compreensão do mundo cada vez mais difícil. Além disso, a histó...

Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Lopes, Hélder; Magalhães, Susana Pinto Leite Vasconcelos Teixeira de; Estrada, RuiClimate change (CC) is the greatest evidence of the "metamorphosis of the world" and is changing the temperature and rainfall patterns, but also the social, cultural and health systems on planet Earth. The unpredictability of climactic phenomena and their multidimensional impacts on human and environmental health contribute to making our understanding of the world increasingly difficult. Moreover, history has p...

Climate Change and Health: Essay on the Limits of Naturalism
Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Barroso, Eduardo Paz; Campelo, Alvaro; Toldy, Teresa MartinhoOne of the main problems of the twenty-first century is climate change and its impacts on global health. Nonetheless, there is a certain optimism that is rooted in the new world opened up by the possibilities of technoscience, namely in the control of health and climatic and environmental hazards. But on the horizon of these possibilities, there are increasingly clear signs that technological and scientific nat...

Furthermore, history proved that technoscience alone is not enough to deal with these issues. CC, diseases...
Biophilia in pieces: Critical approach of a general concept
Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Silva Lopes, Hélder; Curado, Maria JoséThe biophilia hypothesis is critically approached in the context of evolutionary psychology, adaptation of the sensory systems and application to sustainable and urban planning, namely in the field of urban green spaces. From an evolutionary perspective, our biophilic tendencies are generally accepted and interpreted as an adaptation to natural environments, where the ability to connect with, and understand hab...
The biophilia hypothesis explored: Regenerative urban green spaces and well-bei...
Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Estrada, Rui; Barros, Nelson; Maia, Rui Leandro; Farinha-Marques, PauloThis paper considers the relationship between biophilia and wellbeing in a sample of users of urban green spaces in the city of Porto (Portugal) as a case study.

Lencastre, Marina Prieto Afonso; Farinha-Marques, Paulo; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Estrada, RuiFrequentar ou contemplar um espaço verde promove a saúde física e mental, aumenta a cooperação e motiva os comportamentos a favor do ambiente [2]. A existência de espaços verdes nas cidades tem efeitos positivos sobre a biodiversidade, consistindo num sumidouro de CO2 e ajudando a regular a temperatura urbana, que tende a aumentar nas épocas estivais e com o aquecimento global. Algumas das questões essenciais p...
