- Activating Templar Heritage: Tourism, Narrative Strategies and Information TechnologiesPublication . Marques, C. G.; Sol, Hermínia; Pedro, João P.; Mateus, Lígia; Pestana, Hélder; Pinto Coelho, João; Silva, ManuelaWhile fairly established in several western countries, military tourism is still in a grey area in Portugal. In order to bolster the notion that this concept can be a major contributor to tourism activation, an Information System is being developed with the Templar Order as basis. This project is a direct result of the work of the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (Portugal), the Templars Route European Federation and Tomar’s local government. It uses the Rapid Application Development methodology and resorts mostly to a client-server web application, using web standards such as HTML, CSS and JS, and it’s operated by the PHP program language and SGBD Mysql for data persistence. The IS fills a void as far as military tourism heritage platforms are concerned. It’s user friendly design and architecture make for a pleasant research experience while the inclusion of more updated and historical narratives along with storytelling strategies increase its appeal among a non-academic audience. The recent COVID-19 outbreak brought about the need to adapt the original model to an ever-increasing virtual culture trend.
- O projeto HERITAGE GAME. Desafios para o património e suas comunidadesPublication . Marques, C. G.; Mateus, Lígia; Pedro, João P.; Chasqueira, ÂniaO trabalho apresentado sublinha a importância do património cultural na formação da identidade das comunidades, ressaltando a necessidade vital de envolvimento ativo das mesmas na preservação do património, especialmente em territórios de baixa densidade. Este envolvimento tem a capacidade de fortalecer laços sociais, promover a compreensão intergeracional e contribuir para a transmissão oral de conhecimentos. O artigo tem como foco o projeto HERITAGE GAME, uma iniciativa Erasmus+ liderada pelo Instituto Politécnico de Tomar e composta por seis universidades europeias, com início em outubro de 2023 e término em setembro de 2026. O projeto propõe a gamificação como uma estratégia inovadora aplicada ao património, em territórios de baixa densidade. Os quatro objetivos específicos do projeto incluem a promoção do envolvimento comunitário e cívico, a criação de um quadro operacional e ferramentas de gamificação, a promoção de parcerias e aprendizagem mútua, e a disseminação dos benefícios da gamificação no património. O HERITAGE GAME adota uma metodologia investigação-ação dividida em três fases, que envolvem a recolha de casos de estudo de projetos de base comunitária, a análise, estudo comparativo e desenvolvimento de um modelo de valorização e, finalmente, a implementação nos diferentes territórios. Os grupos-alvo identificados incluem as comunidades em territórios de baixa densidade, os estudantes universitários, a comunidade académica e os profissionais do património. Os resultados expectáveis compreendem publicações científicas, a criação de um modelo de gamificação reutilizável, o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação móvel com recurso a gamificação e o estabelecimento de ligações comunitárias nos países parceiros. Apesar de se encontrar numa fase inicial de desenvolvimento, o HERITAGE GAME destaca-se como um projeto inovador, quer pelo seu foco na prática comunitária do património, quer pela investigação do potencial da gamificação como ferramenta para o trabalho com o património baseado nas comunidades. Perante as mudanças tecnológicas, sociais e pós-pandémicas, o projeto pretende transformar o paradigma cultural e promover uma abordagem mais inclusiva e democrática na preservação do património.
- Insignia - A Monitoring and Enhancement Model for Portuguese Historical Military HeritagePublication . Mateus, Lígia; Marques, C. G.; Pires da Silva, Cláudia; Dionísio, Marta; Rego, Carla; Pinto Coelho, JoãoThe INSIGNIA project aims to develop an enhancement model for Portuguese historical military heritage, applied to the Military Tourism Route (RTM) – a tourism product developed by the Portuguese Military Tourism Association (ATMPT), in partnership with Portuguese municipalities and several public and private entities. The RTM is composed of a set of thematic routes associated to events in Portugal's military history and aggregates a set of resources, services, and a digital repository platform of existing historical and military heritage in Portugal, equipped with dynamic programming in constant updating. The purpose of INSIGNIA is to safeguard, promote, and enhance national historical and military heritage, contributing to the affirmation of military tourism in Portugal and promoting the qualification of its agents, facilities, and the territories themselves. Therefore, an action-research methodology will be used, based on document analysis, inquiry, and observation as techniques for collecting information. The methodological plan includes the implementation of five actions aimed at monitoring and optimising the product in the territory. So far, the preliminary results of the literature review tell us about the existing projects and the launch of the RTM digital platform tells us the number of entries and preferences among the routes presented. INSIGNIA began in 2021 and will continue until 2023.
