The Algarve region, located in the south of Portugal, is a well-known tourism destination that seeks to be sustainable and competitive. The local administration looks to establish a collaborative network, where stakeholders take a crucial role. The research aims to appeal to the accommodations and food services stakeholders to have a shared vision of the issues and priorities related to sustainable tourism development. Their perception is a critical factor in making decisions regarding the region’s competitiveness. Algarve’s two major and leading associations of the tourism supply sector AIHSA and AHETA were invited to participate in the study. Based on the responses of an online questionnaire, an artificial intelligence algorithm was applied to the data to identify the common and divergent aspects. The conceptual model developed is based on a simplified model of psychological ownership. The results highlight a convergent perspective regarding sustainability challenges, namely, natural resources and biodiversity, safety, and supply chain. However, hotels and restaurants do not reflect the same perception regarding sustainability initiatives, e-tourism, or free internet access. These divergences are essential results since they indicated which issues require local authorities’ priority intervention.

The monitoring of sustainability indicators allows behavioural tendencies of a region to be controlled, so that adequate policies could be established in advance for a sustainable development. However, some data could be missed in the monitoring of these indicators, thus making the establishment of sustainability policies difficult. This paper therefore analyses the possibility to forecast the sustainability indicators of a region by using four different artificial intelligent algorithms: linear regression, multilayer perceptron, random forest, and M5P. The study area selected was the Algarve region in Portugal, and 180 monitored indicators were analysed between 2011 and 2017. The results showed that M5P is the most appropriate algorithm to estimate sustainability indicators. M5P was the algorithm obtaining the best estimations in a greater number of indicators. Nevertheless, the results showed that MP5 was not the best option for all indicators, since in some of them, the use of other algorithms obtained better results, thus reflecting the need of an individual previous study of each indicator. With these algorithms, it is possible for public bodies and institutions to evaluate the sustainable development of the region and to have reliable information to take corrective measures when needed, thus contributing to a more sustainable future.

This study analyses the most appropriate methodology to make similarity classifications among the cities of the Algarve (Portugal) according to 105 sustainability indicators monitored with the Observatory of Sustainability of the Algarve Region for Tourism (OBSERVE). The methodology used to establish the similarities was the cluster analysis with 4 different approaches which reduced the dimensions of the data set: total approach, pillar approach, subject area approach, and indicator approach. By combining the approaches, a total of 620 different cluster analyses were performed. The results reflected that the data analysis approaches with less dimensions were those that performed the best groups among cities. In this sense, the approaches with a high number of indicators (e.g., the total or the pillar approach) were characterised by misclassifying cities in more than 30% of the indicators. Thus, the most acceptable cluster analysis approach was that with a low number of indicators. Through this approach, it was possible to make correct groups of the sustainability level of the cities of the Algarve. These results provided an appropriate methodology for the decision-making regarding the sustainability of a region and could be extrapolated to other regions to assess sustainability or environmental indicators.

The University of Algarve, in consortium with Saint-Gobain Weber Portugal and Cristal Construction- Materials and Civil Construction Works, is developing a new concept of sustainable swimming pool (SPOOLs – sustainable pools project), more environmentally friendly, increasing energy efficient and reducing maintenance costs. The Algarve is a popular touristic destination in Portugal and in Europe. It receives millions of international and national tourists annually. Algarve is known by its warm and sunny climate and the people appreciate the houses and hotels with swimming pools, preferably surrounded by grass and trees and thus providing a pleasant green ambience. The construction, installation and maintenance of swimming pools is relatively recent, existing in large scale only in the last 50 years. During this period, the construction technologies evolved significantly and nowadays there are different solutions. Most of the existing swimming pools in Algarve, correspond to small swimming pools, built in residential areas and therefore in most cases there is no available data about the design and technical specifications. Within the scope of the I&DT project SPOOLs, an online questionnaire about the typology and durability of swimming pools in the Algarve was elaborated, for which more than 100 responses were obtained. From the analysis of the results it is possible to make several considerations about the durability and construction pathologies. The results hereby presented validate the conclusions, regarding the major swimming pools pathologies, as well as their sustainability.

The global production of concrete represents, every year, more than 5% of the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, mainly from the production of cement. This negative factor can be improved by incorporating supplementary cementitious materials in order to replace cement. In the last few decades, research has been conducted on what it is known as Ultra High Performance Fibber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). The term includes a broad range of materials such as defect-free, dense particle, engineered composite, multi-scale particle and fibber-reinforced cementitious materials, with enhanced properties. UHPFRC has better mechanical and durability properties compared to normal strength concrete. Other benefits of using UHPFRC on a structure includes the reduction of concrete sections, concrete formwork, labour, equipment and time of construction. Despite of the benefits associated to this material, the UHPFRC is still struggling to be universally applied, mainly due to its high cost and its high environmental impact. UHPFRC cost is higher than normal concrete, due to a very high powder content and steel fibber addition. However, the production of UHPFRC using locally available materials, under normal curing conditions, should reduce its cost and turned it into a more attractive construction product. In this paper, the fresh and hardened properties of a specific UHPFRC composition are presented. The mixture replaces a significant percentage of cement by slags, and the results reveal the viability of the proposed mix. The environmental performance of the mixture confirmed the improvement on the material sustainability and allowed the identification of some potential future studies.

Rehabilitation of existing structures is rapidly increasing. Today, it is estimated that, in developed countries, half of the existing bridges have over 50 years old. Bridge structures, like others, deteriorate with time due to abnormal floods, foundations erosion, ground movement/subsidence, lack of maintenance, overloading, environmental effects, inadequacy of design and construction. Maintenance is necessary to preserve the load capacity design of the bridge and ensure the safety of those using it. Rehabilitation implies to guarantee service level considering the new conditions and actions. In concrete bridges, corrosion of reinforcement and spalling of the concrete cover, may lead to loss of strength and unserviceability. Corrosion is initiated mainly by chloride contamination or exposure to atmospheric CO2, although others pollutants can also contribute. However, is often exacerbated by the reduction of concrete cover, low quality of the concretes for certain aggressive environments, and poor compaction and curing. Bridge rehabilitation process should be preceded by assessment and evaluation of the structure, to determine its actual strength condition and to select the proper rehabilitation techniques and materials. This kind of processes involves the intervention of several experts. The case study hereby presented is the concrete bridge over the Foupana river, in the Algarve. The paper focuses on the inspection, assessment and rehabilitation, and it presents two rehabilitation strategies: major repair versus replacement. Also multiple constraints imposed by economic, social and environmental aspects are highlighted by the authors, since they greatly influenced the rehabilitation procedure and outcome.

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. The production of Portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amounts of CO2. The global production of concrete represents more than 5% of the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide every year, mainly from the production of cement. The replacement of cement by fly ash and other industrial waste, such as steel slag, is a good example of how resource conservation can be improved and contamination can be reduced. Future trends predicts an increment of the demand for steel, worldwide. The steelmaking process produces slags, ranging from 10 to 15% per ton of steel, however its reutilization is still reduced, being deposited in landfills. The technical feasibility of replacing a large part of the cement with blast furnace slag gave good results, nevertheless, it is crucial to study the short and long term shrinkage evaluation. Shrinkage crack reduction is an important factor on the durability point of view, as well as on its strength. This study, conducted by the TEP-951 Cadiz research group, presents laboratory test results on the total and autogenous shrinkage of medium strength concrete, with partial replacement of cement by slags. Different slags were tested, namely ladle furnaces slags (LFS) and ground granulated blast furnace slags (GGBFS). The results hereby presented do not reveal significant divergences on the concrete shrinkage, for both slags. The percentage of slags used on both mixtures is the same and correspond to 25%.

Construction and demolition wastes (C&DW) are often deposited in landfills and dumpsters in urban perimeters, causing weighty environmental and social impacts. The reuse of C&DW in innovative concrete formulations is a good solution for both problems. Recycled aggregates (RA), prepared from C&DW, generally show lower quality properties than natural aggregates. This reuse has been extensively studied mainly in conventional concrete, although there are few studies regarding the incorporation of RA into the sprayed concrete and the information is almost non-existent. The use of sprayed concrete is a flexible, economical and fast construction method, but it requires specialized skilled workers and a high degree of mechanization. It is fairly common to use this technique in new construction structures such as vaults, tunnels, canals, reservoirs, swimming pools and sewers. In Algarve, sprayed concrete is used in the construction of more than 70% of all swimming pools. Under the project SPOOLs – sustainable pools, whose objective is to develop more sustainable pools, it was developed a composition of sprayed concrete that incorporates RA. This paper presents the results of strength and durability from several mixtures of hardened concrete and the prescription of the optimized composition, regarding the existing regulations. At the same time, there were also assessed the consequences upon the quality of the sprayed concrete when the operator, through the dry projection method, adds different amounts of water. Significant environmental savings would be gained if part of the required materials for this production, would be replaced by recycled material, such as RA.

The selection of indicators for the Observatory of Sustainability of the Algarve Region for Tourism (OBSERVE), poses challenges, namely which indicators are relevant to stakeholders and how to assure that information is available. To support the selection of the environmental, sociocultural, economic and institutional indicators, an engagement process was designed and applied, which included meetings with stakeholders, a workshop and an online survey. The results showed that both workshop and online surveys reflected, in general, similar opinions, thus allowing the selecting of the sustainable development indicators for the Algarve region. Additionally, the results showed that nearly 75% of the indicators can be obtained from national statistics and, therefore, can be used on the OBSERVE project, assuring a quick flow of information. As limitations, it is important to mention that the other 25% will need further development, in order to provide data for indicators, like carbon management and client satisfaction. With this approach, the observatory will survey and evaluate the sustainable development of the region (status and trends), based on indicators that answer to the strategic needs of system’s main users, with social and economic implications, i.e., public institutions, economic agents, tourists, local communities and residents.

Raw earth, while building material, constitutes unquestionably one of the most sustainable construction materials. Several construction technics exist over world using raw earth as basic material. In Portugal, it is possible to notice a rich heritage of buildings in raw earth, located throughout the country, but more spread on the South. The main vernacular techniques are rammed earth and adobe, but while the adobe technique suffered an evolution, rammed earth continues being used with no significant differences. It was conducted a research on earth building heritage throughout the Algarve region, especially in typological and dimensional terms, as well as structural and constructional aspects. Also, a research project focused in the characterization and in the quality control of compressed earth blocks [CEB], produced by the company “Terra Crua”, is being developed in the Civil Engineering Department of the Institute of Engineering of the University of Algarve. This company has great practical knowledge with raw earth construction using rammed earth assemblies since the seventies, with approximately one hundred buildings constructed, and with seven structures of CEB finished in the last two years. In this paper, some aspects of old and new earth buildings are presented, as well as the developments in the construction techniques and quality control of materials. The necessity to find constructive sustainable solutions explains the current demand for sophisticated construction with raw earth, aiming not only for new buildings but also for the conservation and rehabilitation of a valuable heritage.

The Algarve region is a narrow strip of land located on the south of Portugal, known by the warm Mediterranean climate. Tourism has been the activity that has increased tightly in the last decade, bringing new challenges to the region, with special focuses in the sustainability of the ecosystems. One of these challenges is the sustainable urban water management, with emphasis on the optimization of the sanitation systems and on the waste water treatment plants (WWTP).This study was performed in the WWTP of Paderne village, and the aim was to develop a different cost-effective solution, in order to avoid the discharge of the treated effluent directly in the Algibre stream, classified by Portuguese Environment Agency, as having a poor ecological status. The first option was the use of this effluent for aquifer recharge, thus several laboratory tests were done to assess the soil capacity for that purpose. The second option was to develop an ecohydrological approach, through the construction of an artificial wetland, to improve effluent quality and to allow its reuse for local crops irrigation. To phytoremediation was considered the use of macrophyte species as Phragmites australis or Thypha latifolia. Data about the quality of the treated effluent during the recent years were analysed, provided by the WWTP managing entity, Águas do Algarve S.A. Results were discussed attending to the viability and the environmental impact of both solutions.
