Etalement urbain et consommation d'espace. Etude comparée de Besançon, Belfort et Montbéliard

2007

Urban sprawl constitutes a specific case of urbanization that is currently common in French cities. Arising from significant development of suburbs, it inevitably leads to the increase of built-up surfaces in every periurban area. At the same time, we can assume that urban sprawl induces over-consumption of space. This assumption is tested on the three main towns of Franche-Comté, that are associated with very different geographical, demographic and industrial characteristics (these characteristics are briefly described). The study confirms, in general, the reality of over-consumption of space, dependant on urban sprawl ; it seems generally independent of the individual characteristics of e…

Espaces tangents pour les formes auto-similaires

2013

The fractal geometry is a relatively new branch of mathematics that studies complex objects of non-integer dimensions. It finds applications in many branches of science as objects of such complex structure often poses interesting properties. In 1988 Barnsley presented the Iterative Func-tion System (IFS) model that allows modelling complex fractal shapes with only a limited set of contractive transformations. Later many other models were based on the IFS model such as Language-Restricted IFS,Projective IFS, Controlled IFS and Boundary Controlled IFS. The lastto allow modelling complex shapes with control points and specific topol-ogy. These models cover classical geometric models such as B-…

The household location in multicenter urban spaces

1991

In multicenter urban spaces, the household location problem is to find an optimal location taking into account the locations of several economic centers.In this article, we show that the usual model, maximizing a residential utility under a budget spatial constraint, can’t give a satisfactory solution.So, we construct a fuzzy spatial model, including imprecision in consumer’s behavior. This model allows us to find an optimal location in a multicenter urban setting. Then, an empirical study illustrates the performances of the fuzzy model.

Modélisation des objets urbains pour l'étude des dynamiques urbaines dans la longue durée

2007

The use of GIS to study the spatial evolution of pre-industrial cities over the "longue durée" requires rigorously formalising heterogeneous data from different sources into robust entities. An initial model using the HBDS (Hypergraph Based Data Structure) method enabled us to distinguish social and spatial features. In this paper we develop a specific model for the temporal dimension. The definition of urban objects using social, spatial and temporal features enhances the study of urban dynamics of change over the "longue durée".

« Le média dans l’espace public chez Jürgen Habermas et le rite dans la communauté croyante chez Jürgen Moltmann »

2014

Two German authors, who wrote their main books in the 80th, are introduced here. Jürgen Habermas is a philosopher of the School of Francfort (Marxist) and Jürgen Moltmann a Protestant theologian. Their thoughts have obviously great differences, but they have something in common : they both consider an expression (ritual or conducted through a media) as an aspect in a complete anthropology. And a “public space”, as a ritual, have to be taken seriously, because they are the spaces of our main choices in life.

Entités fonctionnelles, entités spatiales et dynamique urbaine dans la longue durée

2004

Functional Features, spatial Features and the urban Dynamic across a long Lapse of Time. Heterogeneous data from different sources are to be formalised as functional and spatial features in order to study the spatial evolution of preindustrial cities in the « longue durée ». The aim is to establish a distinction between historically relevant functional features and geographically relevant spatial features in order to produce information better adjusted to study spatial dynamics. The elements of a methodology are brought up.

Comment Hollywood figure l’intériorité dans les films « hollywoodiens » de David Lynch, Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Dr. (2001) et Inland Empire (…

2011

The article takes Zachary Baqué's study of Los Angeles in the films of David Lynch as a starting point to explore David Lynch's Hollywood movies. The author contends that the films offer more than a satirical representation of a corrupt, unhealthy system which threatens dreams and artistic creativity, or a parodic play on Hollywood genre and narrative conventions. Rather, Hollywood is a character, a presence, revealed as both horizontal and vertical, physical and abstract, evoking the city, the studio system, cinema and dreams, so that the satire, the visual motifs and clichés and the topography of Hollywood, and the references to Hollywood films, constitute a complex fabric of subjectivity…

Du Zodiaque et des hommes. Temps, espace, éternité dans les édifices de culte entre le IV e et le XIII e siècle

2017

This dissertation deals with the iconography of the Zodiac between Antiquity and Middle Age, in particular in churches between the XIth and the XIIIth century. The heart of the dissertation is the analysis of a corpus of 260 items. These items concern the figuration of the signs of the Zodiac and the Labors of the months, whether or not combinated, within ecclesial ornamentation between the XIth and the XIIIth century. This period corresponds to the “renaissance” and to the growth of the figuration of the Zodiac in this context. The study is divided into three parts. The first section deals with historiography and with the presentation of the corpus. Then, the origins, re-appropriations and…

How store design contributes to the evolution of retail brand positioning : a longitudinal case study

2014

One of the innovative ways favoured by retailers to drive change in their value proposition is to review the design of their stores. Academic contributions to the in-store experience have mostly focused on consumer perspective and identifying relevant managerial practices. The core of this research studies how repositioning a retail brand translates into the experiential design of retail spaces. To this end, the research follows the repositioning process from a managerial perspective and updates the mechanisms that underlie it. The longitudinal study of embedded cases reveals the importance of an holistic design that takes into account the desired interactions between the shopper and the st…
