Esta dissertação analisa a perceção das comunidades rurais do concelho de Mafra sobre o risco de incêndios rurais e o programa "Aldeia Segura, Pessoas Seguras", criado após os incêndios devastadores de 2017 em Portugal. O estudo visa compreender o conhecimento e a preparação dos residentes face a incêndios rurais, bem como avaliar a eficácia e eficiência do programa na promoção da segurança comunitária. Foram realizados inquéritos a 205 residentes de seis freguesias de Mafra, com foco na perceção de risco, conhecimento sobre medidas de prevenção e resposta a incêndios, e familiaridade com o programa. Os dados foram analisados quantitativamente, utilizando estatísticas descritivas e testes de correlação.Os resultados indicam que 41% dos inquiridos identificam os incêndios florestais como o principal risco para as suas habitações, embora 78% considerem que as suas casas estão preparadas para enfrentar um incêndio. Apenas 43% dos inquiridos já ouviram falar do programa, e apenas 26% conseguem explicar o seu propósito. As medidas de prevenção mais sugeridas incluem a limpeza dos terrenos (31%), a fiscalização e aplicação da lei (21%), e o investimento em prevenção (20%).Conclui-se que o programa "Aldeia Segura, Pessoas Seguras" é crucial para incrementar a resiliência das comunidades rurais de Mafra, mas são necessárias ações para melhorar o conhecimento e o envolvimento comunitário. Recomenda-se o reforço das campanhas de sensibilização, a promoção de formação contínua e o apoio às famílias mais vulneráveis. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão das necessidades das comunidades rurais face aos incêndios rurais e para a melhoria das políticas de prevenção e proteção civil.
