Resumo(s)
Na atualidade, a participação nas atividades de voluntariado apresenta valores bastante
baixos a nível europeu. A nível nacional, os valores ainda são inferiores em comparação
com a média europeia, sendo Portugal, um dos países europeus com menor adesão às
atividades de voluntariado. Outro grave problema atual, é o aumento do sentimento
de solidão, especialmente nos idosos, que, considerando o envelhecimento demográfico,
representam uma grande percentagem da população. A gravidade deste problema é tão
elevada, que a solidão foi considerada como a mais recente epidemia de saúde pública.
Com o propósito de procurar dar resposta a estes dois problemas, desenvolveu-se
uma plataforma Web e móvel. Pretende-se que a plataforma tenha impacto na área do
voluntariado ao permitir um acesso mais fácil a informações e à inscrição em eventos
solidários. Esta plataforma diminuiria indiretamente o sentimento de solidão através da
possível inscrição nas atividades em grupo, que, já por si, acaba por incentivar a adesão de
mais voluntários. Ao aderir às atividades, os próprios voluntários irão realizar atividades
predominantemente em grupo, tendo impacto no seu sentimento de solidão. Quanto à
faixa etária idosa, pretende-se facilitar a sua adesão, através da sua inscrição em atividades
(por contra própria ou por conta de outros) ou por serem o grupo apoiado nos eventos.
No início do desenvolvimento deste projeto, estabeleceram-se os requisitos necessários
que permitem contribuir para a resolução o problema descrito nos parágrafos anteriores.
Com a conclusão do desenvolvimento da plataforma, procedeu-se a uma verificação dos
requisitos estabelecidos inicialmente, concluindo o correto funcionamento dos mesmos. É
importante salientar que a aplicação encontra-se em estado protótipo, o que significa que
necessita de incorporar algumas funcionalidades em falta, como por exemplo ao nível de
segurança.
Currently, participation in volunteer activities in Europe is significantly low. At the national level, values are even lower compared to the European average, with Portugal being one of the European countries with the lowest adherence to volunteer activities. Another serious current problem is the increasing feeling of loneliness, especially among the elderly, who, considering demographic aging, represent a large percentage of the population. The significance of this problem is so high that loneliness has been considered the latest epidemic of public health. With the purpose of addressing these two problems, it was developed a web and mobile platform. The platform aims to have an impact on the volunteering sector by allowing easier access to information and registration for solidarity events. This platform would indirectly decrease the feeling of loneliness by enabling participation in group activities, which in itself encourages more volunteers to join. By participating in activities, the volunteers will engage in mainly group activities, impacting their feeling of loneliness. Regarding the elderly age group, the aim is to ease their participation by allowing them to register for activities (either on their own or on behalf of others), or by being the supported group at events. At the beginning of the development of this project, the essential requirements were established to contribute to the resolution of the problem described in the preceding paragraphs. Upon conclusion of the development of the platform, a confirmation of the initially established requirements was carried out, concluding their correct functioning. It is important to emphasize that the application is in a prototype state, which means that it needs to incorporate some missing functionalities, such as security measures.
