    How daily life impacts social science
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Galhardo, Jacques; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    I would like to put forward my point of view as a French researcher on my Portuguese field of research (Mouraria/Lisbon). This reflection is thus the fruit of a back and forth between frequently used social science concepts – gentrification, fragmentation and segregation – and my own field experience. More precisely, I seek to understand why a gap exists between what we observed and these concepts. My hypothesis is that one possible answer lies in a conflict of temporalities: those of institutions and public organisations, those of companies, those of researchers and, finally, those of individuals who fall outside the previous categories. Starting with the latter, I approach the concept of daily life as a relationship between time and space, which is part of a process of remoteness based on the minimisation of risk as envisaged by Heideggerians. This tendency towards spatio-temporal proximity often contradicts our theoretical concepts. Keywords - Temporalities, spatialities, concepts, spatial being, daily life.

    The potential of citizen science for socio-spatial studies : defining and operationalizing research pathways
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Simon, Sandrine; Duarte, Tiago; Correia, Sónia Vladimira; Fernandes, Pedro Afonso; Costa, Carlos Smaniotto; Manico, Zuinder; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    The term Citizen Science has been used in various contexts, but little effort has been made to provide a vision of it in regard to socio-spatial studies, which are at the core of the research group on Citizen Science in understanding and transforming the territory (CIDATE). The authors of this chapter represent widely diverse disciplines, including environmental engineering, economics, urban planning and design, landscape architecture and education. The chapter intends to deliver a tailored and timely vision of how, with the help of Citizen Science, the democratisation of science can be promoted and, with this, more collective and sustainable decision making achieved. This chapter is the result of a reflective dialogue between researchers, their projects and experiences tackling spatial and human development from different perspectives. It gathers the conclusions that emerged in the organised debates and the research projects carried out by the researchers, towards creating a broad understanding of the key issues that could help operationalise Citizen Science in future research efforts. Keywords – Citizen science, socio-spatial research, key principles of citizen science, citizen's contribution to science, social sciences.
