DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE METROPOLITAN AREAS USING A MULTI-SCALE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
2012
A sustainable and sustaining planning strategy is globally important for metropolitan areas. Sustainable planning addresses the development of strategies to reduce the use of resources, increase economic efficiency and improve integration of social aspects. In contrast, splinter development (e.g. urban sprawl) involves damage to nature and generation of an increasing volume of traffic (these are the main criticisms following a study by Newman and Kenworthy (1989) on the relationship between settlement density and energy consumption). Interestingly, the overly compact city also has this effect as it may generate traffic flows for accessing green and leisure areas, or changes of residence due…
Stratégie d'aménagement pour le développement durable d'aires métropolitaines par un système multi-scalaire d'aide à la décision : l'exemple de Vienne
2012
A sustainable and sustaining planning strategy is globally important for metropolitan areas. Sustainable planning addresses the development of strategies to reduce the use of resources, increase economic efficiency and improve integration of social aspects (e.g. pedestrian-friendly environments, well-balanced public and private transport modes, efficient street networks, land use, movement economy; access for all to jobs, retail, services; healthcare, culture and leisure). In contrast, splinter development (e.g. urban sprawl) involves damage to nature and generation of an increasing volume of traffic (these are the main criticisms following a study by Newman and Kenworthy (1989) on the rela…
Évolutions récentes de l'agriculture française. Analyse géographique des tendances régionales et de la mise en place d'un nouveau dispositif d'aménag…
2005
The recent transformations in French agriculture and the emergence of the concept of sustainable development in the last decade have pushed politicians to defining new measures, of which most concern agriculture. The analysis of agricultural systems leads nowadays to studies on interactions with the physical, economical or social environment. The subject of this thesis is related to this context. Firstly, we propose to analyze the recent evolutions in French agriculture, particularly in the last mandate during which the most radical transformations occurred. It is of particular interest to identify, besides the general situation of French agriculture, the differences in evolution between th…
Les outils d'intelligence territoriale pour les acteurs de terrain à Seraing: entre appropriation des méthodes et acquisition de compétences
2005
Asbl Optim@ leads an experience of participative observation in Seraing since 1998. The complexity of the problems met by the population and the professional division into sectors justified this participative approach. This one concerns the economic, social and human global nature of the territory. It leans on a wide partnership of local actors: professionals, inhabitants and decision-makers. It uses at this end the method of territorial intelligence CATALYSE created by the research team ThéMA-MTI and developed with numerous members of the REIT. The results obtained in terms of interdisciplinary dialogue between inhabitants, professionals and decision-makers; allow identifying axes about th…
Territorial Intelligence and Governance.
2007
International audience; As with European experiments, in various regions in France, territorial intelligence projects have been initiated since 2003. (see the regions of Lower Normandy, Lorraine, Réunion Island, the Aquitaine region, etc.).The objective of these is to gather and exploit information which is not confined to particular sectors and the collective processing of which can contribute to durable development. Apart from institutions, civil society and the inhabitants of the territory, it is observed that companies and in particular small and medium sized enterprises are natural partners who show interest in such initiatives. Both the different economic chains and the participating …
L'idéologie durable. Une analyse sémiotique du Rapport Brundtland
2017
Le rapport "Notre avenir à tous" (1989) exprime, en définissant le « développement durable », un souci d’harmonisation des rapports entre les nations qui était déjà présent dans la charte (1945) des nations unies prônant, de son côté, la paix internationale. Ce rapport marque pourtant un tournant stratégique: l’invitation à un mode de vie partagé passe cette fois par un « retour à la nature ». Il semble que la nature y acquière la valeur d’un impératif urgent, tout en faisant problème. En effet, en lisant le rapport, on s’aperçoit que cet appel à la nature est loin d’être univoque. Malgré ses apparences, la rien n’est plus instable que le concept de nature. L’analyse montre que le champ sém…
Modéliser l'ancrage territorial de l'agriculture : application à l'étude de la durabilité d'une agriculture côtière sous pression touristique
2011
The territorial base of agriculture is a key to understand the sustainability of this activity, in hybrid territories like peri-urban areas or rural touristic ones. To this aim, the French method of the "agrarian systems" is improved by the concept of "territorial agrarian system": the territory is then a meta-system of the agrarian system that leads to understand the linkage between the individual trajectories of farmers and the global and collective expectations of the territorial stakeholders. This conceptual, methodological and practical approach is applied to the rural touristic area of Balagne, a seaside territory located at the Northwest Corsica. There, as a subject torn between land…
Businesses as one of the key elements of a regions sustainable development.
2007
The regionalization and local development, encouraged by the European Union involves the notion of territory. Today territory or region should be seen as a system of actors. The concept of sustainable development should be taken into account by these actors. Businesses (especially SMEs) whose aim is to assure local development, economic growth and job creation are one of the key elements of territorys sustainability.
Représentation territorialisée de la performance. Les rapports de développement durable dans le secteur de la construction automobile et du transport…
2015
The territorial presentation of performance: the sustainability reports in automotive and aerial transport industries in Asia and EuropaThis research studies the sustainability reports of 18 automobile constructors and airlines companies for 2011. The study aims at identifying the objectives pursued by these firms and analyzing both similarities and differences. Introducing the concept of territory, we propose to consider sustainability reports as tools for a story-telling that would reconcile the social and the economic dimensions of the firms.
Développement territorial et développement agricole durable
2012
L'objectif de la communication est de montrer comment au travers d'une approche pluri-disciplinaire, l'ancrage territorial de l'agriculture est une clé de compréhension de la durabilité de l'agriculture de territoires mixtes, périurbains ou ruraux-touristiques. La dimension socio-spatiale qu'introduit cet angle d'analyse conduit à rapprocher géographie et agroéconomie au sein d'une démarche qui vise à modéliser la complexité et la multi-dimensionnalité du développement agricole. Cette approche est appliquée à un territoire dominé à la fois par l'agriculture et le développement touristique, situé en Corse (Balagne). L'agriculture, entre pression foncière et valorisation touristique du patrim…
