Resumo(s)
Na atualidade, e referenciando os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável
estabelecidos pelas Nações Unidas em 2015, identifica-se a falta de energia
como um dos problemas a resolver a nível mundial, ocupando a sétima posição
do relatório.
Neste momento, 1.1 biliões de pessoas continuam sem ter acesso à eletricidade,
desencadeando problemas relacionados com a pobreza, a saúde, a educação,
a igualdade de géneros e a sustentabilidade ambiental.
A partir do problema identificado, torna-se imperativo apresentar soluções
que visem uma melhoria a nível social, pessoal e económico, oferecendo melhorias
quanto à eficácia energética, e abordando questões relacionadas com
o impacte ambiental e com a vida útil do produto.
Como proposta, e no desencadear da dissertação em forma de projeto final,
desenvolveu-se um produto que armazena energia e emita luz sempre que
necessário, de baixo custo e elevada portabilidade, e que sobretudo assegura
aos seus utilizadores maior segurança nas atividades a desenvolver no seu
dia-a-dia.
Com base num projeto desenvolvido na UC de Projeto de Produto e Serviços
II, conduziu-se uma investigação ativa, apoiada numa metodologia mista de
caráter qualitativo, fazendo uso de métodos como a Crítica da Literatura, o Estudo
de Casos, o Desenvolvimento de Projeto e a Validação de Protótipos. Para
além disso espera-se desenvolver contato profícuo com entidades relevantes
para o projeto, como é o caso das ONG na esperança de haver uma possibilidade
de concretização efetiva do projeto.
Pretende-se por fim, que no final desta investigação o público-alvo para o qual
este produto se destina – contextos onde a energia seja inexistente nomeadamente
os países subdesenvolvidos, as áreas que tenham sofrido de catástrofes
naturais, as zonas militares ou de guerra, as situações de campismo e
lazer - consiga alcançar níveis de autonomia adequados ao exercício das suas
atividades de forma segura.
ABSTRACT: Presently, and referring to the Sustainable Development Goals put forth by the United Nations in 2015, the lack of energy has been identified as one of the problems in need of resolution on a global scale, currently occupying the seventh position in the before mentioned report. At the moment, 1.1 billion people continue without access to electricity, triggering problems directly linked to poverty, health, education, gender equality and environmental sustainability. Stemming from the previously identified problem, it then becomes imperative to put forward solutions that aim to improve the social, personal and economic level, offering enhancements to energy efficiency, and dealing with questions related to the environmental impact and the useful life of the product. As a proposal, and with the unfolding of the present dissertation in the form of a final project, was developed a product that stores energy and emit light when necessary, priced with a low cost budget and elevated portability, which will confer to its users safety in the activities developed in their dayto- day. Based on a project produced for the Product and Services Project II Curse Unit, conducted by an active investigation, supported by a mixed methodology of a qualitative nature, addressing methods such as Critical Review of Literature, Case Studies, Project Development and Prototype Validation, wishing to establish contact with relevant entities to the project, such is the case with NGOs. Lastly, at the end of this investigation, the target population for which it is intended – contexts where energy is non-existing, encompassing underdeveloped countries, areas which have been hit by natural disasters, military and war zones, camping and leisure activities - will be capable of obtaining sufficient autonomy to perform their activities in a secure manner.
