Resumo: This dissertation focuses on the issue of refugees’ integration in Europe, taking into account new forms of humanitarian support related to Information and Communication Technologies. Although the number of refugees in Europe is negligible in comparison with the rest of the European population, their arrival has led, in a society that is increasingly technological and networked, to the creation of a great number of new technologies in order to support the integration of refugees in resettlement countries. Among these, applications for smartphones created with this specific purpose stand out. Through 12 interviews to refugees resettled in eight European countries, and complemented by three interviews with privileged informants and a survey of five apps for refugees, this thesis aims to understand if ICT is important in their integration and if, in fact, they use the platforms created to help them with this process.

Apesar do número de refugiados na Europa ser um valor irrisório em comparação com o resto da população Europeia, a sua chegada levou a que, numa sociedade cada vez mais tecnológica e em rede, se criassem diversas tecnologias para apoiar a integração de refugiados nos países de acolhimento. Destas destaca-se o aparecimento de aplicações para "smartphones" criadas com este propósito específico. Através de 12 entrevistas a refugiados residentes em oito países europeus, complementadas por três entrevistas a informantes privilegiados e recolha de informação acerca de cinco apps criadas para refugiados, esta tese pretende verificar se as novas tecnologias são importantes na integração destes e se, de facto, eles recorrem às plataformas criadas com o objetivo de os ajudar neste processo.2018-12-11T13:43:40Z2018-09-05T00:00:00Z2018-09-052018-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/16918TID:201976234engCosta, Sara Bandeirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:40:49Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/16918Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:18:54.811847Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
