INTRODUCTION
APG 40th anniversary and EFG Workshop “The Importance of Geological Knowledge for Sustainable Land Use”
Workshop Background
The gap between the knowledge available in geology and the aspired land use concepts appears to be particularly large. Therefore, it is necessary to apply an appropriate geo-based land use concept.A land use concept that pursues a systemic ap-proach and refers to an adequate extent to geo- logical knowledge provides options for future site-adequate land use as the basis for respective decision-makers or decision-making processes, not any longer conducted by political constraints or
economic incentives only. Source: Hubert Wigger-ing “The geology – land use – nexus”.
Workshop Aim
The APG 40th anniversary and EFG Workshop “The importance of geological knowledge for sustainable land use” will look at ways in which geological knowledge can contribute to the un-derstanding and management of land use in or-der to provide a better decision-making and pol-icy-planning framework.

FIELD TRIP
Lousal Mining Complex (hosted by EDM) and Lousal Science Centre
“The mining village of Lousal (Grândola, Portugal) is currently an international example of success in socio-economic, environmental and mining heritage rehabilitation. The Lousal VHMS mine worked continuously between 1900 and 1988, exploiting pyrite as a sulfur source for fertilizers production. The RELOUSAL program resulted from the joint efforts of the Municipality of Grândola and the mine owner company - SAPEC, SA. The program is responsible for the restoration of the mineshafts and conversion of the old power plant into a mining museum. The main warehouse gave place to a regional restaurant, the mine offices were transformed into a handicraft centre and the administration house was converted in a rural hotel. A rehabilitation plan directed to reclaim the Lousal contaminated area was defined and promoted by EDM (Empresa de Desenvolvimento Mineiro). Some other mining facilities gave rise to the Mine of Science-“Ciência Viva” Centre, which promotes non-formal educational activities devoted to Science and Technology. The “Ciência Viva” activities at Lousal represent a very strong attractor for public that definitely changed the daily life scenario to which this territory appeared to be condemned. More than fifty researchers
coming from different institutions – universities, research institutes, museums and the Portuguese Association forIndustrial Archaeology – and covering many different fields in science and technology (e.g., geology, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, computer graphics) have already been somehow involved in the RELOUSAL program. In particular, the strong commitments of the “Ciência Viva” National Agency and the University of Lisbon, through its Faculty of Science, have raised very high the scientific standards of the whole initiative”.

At the Lousal Ciência Viva Centre visitors are in-vited to make a time travel and go back to the period when the Lousal mine was still active, when ores that have formed millions of years ago were mined out from this mine by thousands of miners. In this place these people have fed dreams and wishes, have loved and saw their children grow, have taken care of their old relatives. Today, it is future again, it is a land reinvented by the will of many people and sustained by the richest ore: Knowledge.

LISBON & SURROUNDING AREA
Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Por-tugal. It is the westernmost large city located in continental Europe, as well as its westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Lisbon lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the River Tagus, and has a population of 552,700 (2011 census) in an area of 100.05 km². The urban area extends beyond the administrative city limits with an estimated population of 2.7 million, on an area of 958 square kilometres (370 sq mi), making it the 11th most populous urban area in the European Union. About 3,035,000people live in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (which represents approximately 27% of the population of the country).Lisbon is recognised as a global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, en-tertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. It is one of the major economic cen-tres on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe’s Atlantic coast.Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris and Rome by centuries. Julius Caesar made it a
municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by the Moors in the 8th century. In 1147, the Cru-saders under Afonso Henriques (first king por-tuguese) reconquered the city and since then it has been a major political, economic and cultural centre of Portugal.Prior to the 18th century, Lisbon had experienced several significant earthquakes. On 1st Novem-ber 1755, the city was destroyed by another devastating earthquake, which killed an esti-mated 30,000 to 40,000 Lisbon residents of a population estimated at between 200,000 and 275,000, and destroyed 85 percent of the city’s structures. In coastal areas, such as Peniche, Setúbal or Al-garve, many people were killed by the following tsunami. In fact, in those regions, the destructive effects of the tsunami were more disastrous than those of the earthquake.After the 1755 earthquake, the city was rebuilt largely according to the plans of Marquês de Pombal. Instead of rebuilding the medieval town, Pombal decided to demolish what remained af-ter the earthquake and rebuild the city centre in accordance with principles of modern urban design.

The development of the city of Lisbon was con-ditioned by geological and geo-morphological features. The first urban nucleus, possibly Phoeni-cian, strategically located on the castle hill, took advantage not only of the excellent conditions for defence strategies and the proximity to the river, but also of the existence of raw material needed for constructions, with easy to work stones, sand and clay.
In the Lisbon district there are official records for almost 300 inactive limestone, marble, granite, basalt, gabbro, sand, and clay quarries. Most of these quarries accompanied the urban growth, and today, their places are converted to urban or industrial areas.
