- Boosting cultural heritage in rural communities through an ICT platform: the Viv@vó projectPublication . Cunha, Carlos R.; Carvalho, Aida; Afonso, Luís C.M.; Silva, Daniel; Fernandes, Paula Odete; Pires, Luís; Costa, Carlos Casimiro da; Correia, Ricardo; Ramalhosa, Elsa; Correia, Alexandra I.; Parafita, AlexandreRural regions concentrate on themselves a very rich set of ancestral traditions. The perpetuation of such traditions has been achieved through transmission between generations. Unfortunately, all this knowledge is typically elders-centered and it lacks effective processes of digitalization, storage and providing-systems for that all this heritage can effectively be perpetuated through future generations that are digital-born. From this base, it was created a project case study limited to the Portuguese Northeast region, named Viv@vó – living in the grandma's house. This paper presents the ICT platform that was created in this project and some main achievements during the project development process. Tourism and mainly experience and cultural heritage tourism are growing in tourist’s interests. Rural regions have an untapped potential for this slice of tourism industry. Rural regions have an enormous collection of ancestral knowledge that we are responsible to deliver to future generations as an inheritance to which they are entitled.
- Touristic experiences the living in the Grandma’s house’ projectPublication . Correia, Ricardo; Carvalho, Aida; Parafita, Alexandre; Cunha, Carlos R.; Fontes, Carla; Fernandes, Paula Odete; Correia, Alexandra I.; Afonso, Luís C.M.; Silva, Daniel; Pires, Luís; Costa, Carlos Casimiro da; Ramalhosa, ElsaThe goal of this research is focused on the project “Living in the Grandma's House” which aims to contribute to the fight against desertification of rural areas and to create unique touristic experiences in rural areas of the Inland North of Portugal. After an ethnographic study, two villages in Trás-os-Montes region were identified in which "Grandma’s" with interest and aptitude to receive visitors through a prior sale and booking (through the website and application of the developed project), were selected to deliver a unique experience to visitors: listen to stories, legends, while sharing a meal in a private house together with the owner which will strengthen the contact between the visitor and the reality visited. It is considered that the effective value of this research is based on the modelling of a feasible and entrepreneurial concept, which is grounded on the particularities of a low-density territory, whose subsequent replication will result in very positive results for the local communities. The methodology adopted is founded on a qualitative approach, which begins with a bibliographical review about the concept of touristic experiences and is based on the analysis of the project “Living in the Grandma's House”.

- Perceção dos residentes face ao impacto do turismoPublication . Fernandes, Paula Odete; Pires, Luís; Fontes, Carla; Costa, Carlos Casimiro da; Correia, Ricardo; Carvalho, Aida; Cunha, Carlos R.; Ramalhosa, Elsa; Correia, Alexandra I.; Parafita, AlexandreIn tourism the local community are not only one of the most essential element for the destination offer but also the key for its differentiation. The knowledge about their expectation and satisfaction regarding tourism development is extremely important for the development process itself. Based on that statement it was developed an empirical research where the local community perception emerges as the key element to be considered. Specifically, in this project it was analysed the perception of the local community, in two different small Portuguese villages, regarding the development of tourism as well as their position regarding the side effects that a possible increase in tourism could provide. It was concluded the positive relationship between the perception of the local image and the perception of economic and socio-cultural impacts caused by tourism and an inverse relationship between the perception of the local image and the perception of environmental caused by tourism.
