- Sports Facilities and Social Responsibility: A Challenge for the DecadePublication . Lucas, Susana; SARDINHA, BOGUSLAWA MARIA BARSZCZAKThe last decade of the XX century consolidated a new vision of development that involved not only the natural environment, but also socio-cultural aspects in a prominent position, argued that the quality of life of human beings became the condition for progress. This proposal is based on sustainable development considering the preservation for future generation’s current use of natural resources. We cannot imagine the functioning of the developed societies without major hospitals, shopping malls, sports facilities, public transport stations, public institutions, schools, waste treatment plants etc.. The construction of such equipment involves huge amounts of money and produces a significant impact on the neighbourhood. These impacts on the economy, called externalities, can be positive or negative. Looking at the issue of community facilities from a macroeconomic point of view, a proper functioning of such equipment is essential for the development of local communities and general society. Amidst the global crisis, the best and most profitable use of such equipment enhances its positive impacts on society, which is supposed to be inclusive, and creates the structural conditions for social and economic growth. Many of those items can be better managed taking into consideration social sustainability by creating conditions for local and country development. A more inclusive and participatory society is one of the key objectives of Europe 2020. The EU commission has identified three elements for the growth of the European state in the coming years: smart growth, sustainable growth (making our production more efficient in terms of resources, while boosting our competitiveness), inclusive growth (increased rate of participation in the labour market, acquiring skills and the fighting poverty). For the success of this strategy for the next decade, it is essential to have a social vision of the market. Improved management of such equipment can create opportunities for civic engagement of local citizens, for education and even for the creation of micro-business around the equipment. The greater involvement of citizens also allows channelling the energies of many social groups to make the social goals comprehensive, providing the appearance of a more participatory society. Companies today face many management problems of social sustainability in its various dimensions such as: demographic changes, social justice, education, health, among others. The proper management approach has to be an answer on how to deal with these problems. The objective of our work is the introductory analyses of the state of art of the management for social sustainability objectives of the sports facilities in Portugal. After this introductory analysis, we will propose the creation of a methodological guide for managers of these public facilities, in order to include the social sustainability aspects on their task and management objectives.

- Estratégias de Ação Social no Ensino SuperiorPublication . SARDINHA, BOGUSLAWA MARIA BARSZCZAK; Marques, Braúlio; Dias, Otília; Pereira, RaquelEste relatório surge no âmbito de um projeto financiado pelo Fundo Social Europeu tendo sido proposto pelas Escolas Superiores de Ciências Empresariais e de Tecnologia do Barreiro do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal, que visa estudar a Ação Social no Ensino Superior como um parceiro estratégico capaz de influenciar a igualdade de oportunidade no acesso e frequência deste tipo de ensino aos estudantes oriundos de agregados familiares com níveis de rendimento mais baixos. As dificuldades financeiras que Portugal tem passado, influenciaram significativamente a capacidade de as famílias portuguesas suportarem os encargos financeiros associados a prosseguimento de estudos de muitos jovens, pelo que a Ação Social no Ensino Superior constitui uma ferramenta fundamental de política social, capaz de promover a igualdade de oportunidades e a equidade social no Ensino Superior, permitindo o acesso e frequência deste nível de ensino a um conjunto de jovens estudantes economicamente carenciados. Verificamos pelos resultado do estudo que se trata de um número significativo de estudantes que sem este tipo de apoios ficaria excluído deste nível educacional e, consequentemente, impossibilitados de usufruir dos benefícios pessoais e profissionais que o Ensino Superior lhes pode proporcionar. Outro facto é que provêm de famílias com níveis de escolaridade inferiores à média nacional, constituindo portanto a Ação Social um veículo privilegiado de promoção da mobilidade social ascendente.

- Catholic Scout Association of Portugal: motivations of adult volunteersPublication . SARDINHA, BOGUSLAWA MARIA BARSZCZAK; Cunha, Olga OliveiraWhen somebody starts analyzing the volunteering phenomenon, the question of why do people volunteer immediately arises. What reasons make people give away their time for helping others? What motivates volunteers? Volunteering is a great way to become involved in the community. Through volunteering an individual becomes part of the solution. He is able to demonstrate community commitment, to gain community contacts and to support many social causes. The World Organization of the Scout Movement and its National Scout Associations play a very important role by contributing to the education of young people in order to help them have a constructive role in society. The Portuguese Catholic Scout Association (CNE) counts more than 71.000 members in c.1100 local groups, including c.13.000 adult volunteers, which makes CNE the largest youth association in the country. Almost all the work in the Portuguese Catholic Scout Association is done by permanent volunteers, many of them giving more than 200 volunteer hours per year. The most important work consists in education and tutoring of young girls and boys from 6 to 22 years old.The motivation for volunteering for so many hours is a very interesting study. It is also critical for CNE leaders to understand how to motivate volunteers to join and to retain those adult volunteers. The objective of this work is to try to understand the motivation of the adults who volunteer in the Portuguese Catholic Scout Association. This organization, as many others, is facing the problem of insufficient number of volunteers, comparing with the increasing necessity of intervention. In this work we present the findings of the research developed in the Portuguese Catholic Scout Association about the volunteering involvement in this organization, especially the motivation of adults. This is a unique study about volunteering motivations developed in Portugal based on empiric data of one of the most important e and influent youth organization.
