Abstract

The metro is a means of transportation valued by tourists visiting the city of Porto. This project focuses on heritage as a resource to be valued and potentially differentiating resource for Metro do Porto. It is important to highlight the role of the information professional who, using information and communication technologies, can act in areas that are based on informational heritage. A mobile recommendation system was created that would convey to its user’s information about the heritage of touristic and cultural interest that can be found nearby the metro stations. The project presupposed the analysis of all metro lines and stops; identification and description of points of touristic interest; determining the area of influence of each stop; creating categories to aggregate different points of interest; comparative study of online platforms to create the app.
