CARMO, Renato Miguel Do e SANTOS, Sofia. The spatial profiles of the Algarve: a sociodemographical reading. Finisterra [online]. 2011, n.91, pp.67-85. ISSN 0430-5027.
The paper draws upon sociodemographical changes of the last two decades in the Algarve region. Two main purposes are: to describe and interpret the meaning of these changes and to confront this analysis with recent studies and with the classical definitions of sub-regional areas. Using the classical perspectives as a starting point we then present the cluster analysis for 1991 and for 2001. Four territorial profiles are presented which reflect two main trends: urbanization and marginalization. Lastly, we focus on a specific municipality - São Brás de Aportel - where strong sociodemographical dynamics have been identified despite its inland localization, enabling a more in-depth analysis and a discussion of the presented trends
