Call for Papers | 22nd APDR workshop | 24 April 2014 | Ponte de Lima

«Call for Papers


The Portuguese Association for Regional Development started a new cycle of workshops aimed at bringing together scientists that consider family as an institution with several and important interactions with economic and social development. This theme seems to have been dismissed by regional development scientists, even though it appears the family dimension is clearly relevant in educational processes and in dynamic migration, in transport systems, in social security systems and welfare services provision, in corporate sustainability and entrepreneurship, and in many other dimensions that influence the development of people and places.
The 20th APDR workshop (April 2014) was dedicated to this theme - Family and Development – and it was a first step in the direction of a more intense and rich debate about family and regional development. It is well known by demographers and sociologists that families may be quite different across Europe and across different regions of a single country. Evidence from diverse transition to adulthood patterns (age and dynamics of leaving home, forming independent households, living alone, forming unions and/or marrying, having a first child) is quite expressive about this. These differences, as others concerning ownership and family structures, are the result of different historical conditions and paths of change, as well of different strategies contemporary families adopt in order to cope with economic and sociopolitical contexts and dynamics.
On the other hand, family bonds are quite important in some corporate branches and/or in some territories and regions. The informal networks and the complex articulation between family and business strategies and management have been studied for years, with particular relevance in southern economies, such as Portugal, Spain and Italy. It is relevant to deepen our knowledge about these long lasting articulations, about their benefits as well as their undesirable effects, and about the way family and economy evolve in different places.
 We are now willing to bring together, one more time, different scientific perspectives on the theme Family and Regional Development, with a particular attention being given to the Southern Europe. It is necessary to understand better family dynamics and diversity, how these affect social and economic processes at a regional scale, and to profound our knowledge about how family business imply the consideration of specific concepts and methodologies in order to provide a better understanding of this phenomenon, so important in our economies.

"Plataforma de dinamização do Interior de Portugal"

«O meu nome é Miguel Gomes De Sousa e faço parte do Departamento de Novas iniciativas da Câmara de Comércio e Indústria Portuguesa.

A Câmara de Comércio é uma associação empresarial privada ao serviço das empresas portuguesas desde 1834, que promove em particular o desenvolvimento dos seus associados a nível nacional e internacional. Diariamente trabalhamos para apoiar as empresas associadas no seu crescimento, afirmando-nos como um parceiro privilegiado para a internacionalização da economia nacional e promotores da ligação entre as PME e as grandes empresas.

Nos últimos anos temos vindo a desenvolver uma plataforma de dinamização do Interior de Portugal de forma a reduzir as assimetrias com o Litoral do país. Começámos com o distrito de Évora, como distrito piloto estando agora também em Beja e Castelo Branco contando com o apoio dos respetivos núcleos empresariais de cada região (NERE- Évora, NERBE- Beja e AEBB- Beira Baixa).
O projeto divide-se, em duas partes. Uma que consiste no “Faz falta cá dentro” onde é dado à população dos distritos aderentes a possibilidade de identificar o que faz falta na sua região (Mercearias, multibanco, farmácias, cinemas, etc.). A outra parte consiste no “Emigre cá dentro” e é uma plataforma de emprego semelhante a tantas outras com o objetivo de identificar oportunidades de emprego na região.
Este projeto é completamente gratuito e tem como objetivo mapear essas necessidades para depois em conjunto com os parceiros locais, implementa-las de forma a dinamizar a economia local.

Dado que 2014 foi o ano em que o projeto foi efetivamente lançado, é importante a elevada participação das associações e população local no mapeamento das necessidades já em 2015. No site já estão identificadas 23 no distrito de Beja sendo possível inseri-las diretamente, mas de forma a facilitar o processo, criámos um questionário que consiste em 5 perguntas rápidas e que poderá ser preenchido as vezes que se quiserem. Podem preencher por conhecimento direto, ou em nome de algum familiar ou amigo que habite nestas regiões, ou por conhecimento que naquela região aquela necessidade existe.


O questionário poderá ser reencaminhado para o máximo número de pessoas para que possam preencher.

Agradecemos a partilha no V/ blog ou página estando ao dispor para partilharmos o mesmo na nossa página de Facebook,

Estaremos ao dispor para qualquer esclarecimento adicional,

OBRIGADO!
Bom Ano 2015

Melhores cumprimentos
