Cartographie de la pollution lumineuse zénithale en Bourgogne à partir de données de population et d'occupation du sol
2007
L'étude a pour but de fournir une première cartographie très simple de la pollution lumineuse sous SIG afin de faciliter l'interprétation géographique et, par la suite, la mise en relation avec d'autres facteurs. Bien sûr, un passage vers un modèle prédictif devient nécessaire si l'outil se destine à être une aide décisionnelle ou un outil de recherche ayant pour but d'analyser les conséquences des changements de certains de ses paramètres. Ainsi, un tel modèle pourra servir à évaluer et analyser les conséquences de la pollution lumineuse générée par la construction d'un nouveau quartier résidentiel, d'une zone indus‐ trielle, de nouvelles infrastructures routières.
(Ré)concilier éclairage urbain et environnement nocturne : les enjeux d’une controverse sociotechnique
2014
International audience; Our paper explains the birth of an environmental problem, i.e. light pollution, viewed as a socio-technical controversy. Supported by the actor-network approach, it traces over forty years the conditions of its emergence, transformation and dissemination to local, national and transnational levels and through various professional disciplines. Schematically, “environmentalists” uphold a holistic approach of “nocturnality” and define artificial light as a pollutant. Facing them, the “technicist” defends a segmented approach and defines artificial light as a nuisance. The introduction of this controversy into the political agenda leads to institutional decisions that gr…
Programme-cadre FENOIR (Figurations de l’environnement nocturne des territoires réunionnais). Rapport d’étape pour le Parc national de La Réunion
2022
Soumise à une importante poussée démographique, l’île de La Réunion a vu sa population urbaine fortement augmenter – passant de 44 % de la population totale en 1975 à 95 % en 2015. Directement corrélée aux formes et dynamiques spatiales de l’urbanisation, l’empreinte lumineuse sur l’île a connu une mutation radicale ces dernières années : son emprise et sa pression ont considérablement augmenté sur l’ensemble du territoire, depuis la côte jusqu’à l’intérieur même du Parc national de La Réunion qui recouvre plus de 76 % du territoire insulaire (42 % pour la zone cœur). Acteur incontournable des enjeux environnementaux sur l’île, le Parc national a mené très tôt des actions autour des effets …
Blaming the Light, Claiming the Night. Actors, Issues and Effects of Lighting Conflicts in France since the 1980's
2014
International audience; Regarding environmental issues, conflictuality is a privileged way to reach the political arena. "Naming, Blaming, Claiming": three steps that make the controversy emerge, constitute the public issue, then bring it to the politi- cal agenda. These three stages are clearly identifiable in the history of night protection associative movements. These movements emerged in the 1970's in the United States of America, quickly disseminated enjoying a broader context of environmental thinking. Conflicts related to artificial lighting are structurally akin to conflicts of contradictory uses of a single resource: the night. For some - the technicists -, the night is the "good-s…
Pour une approche cognitive et multiscalaire des conflits environnementaux
2011
Starting with artificial light as new object damage and emerging environmental problem, this paper intends to develop a general reflection showing the importance of a greater consideration of cognitive dimensions of the damage and risk analysis in environmental conflicting processes. We show how the cost-benefit analysis after the neoclassical theory of production, often used in the search for Pareto-optimal state and in the policies of monetary compensation to resolve environmental conflicts can - indeed must - be strongly challenged. Also, with this reasoning, we oppose an analysis in terms of cognitive interactions that groups develop around environmental goods and items of damage, thus …

Status Mutu Kualitas Air Laut Pantai Maruni Kabupaten Manokwari
2017
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi Amonia, Nitrat dan Ortoposfat serta parameter lainnya yang tertera pada baku mutu air laut untuk biota laut dan mengetahui status mutu kualitas air laut dengan menggunakan metode Indeks Pencemaran (IP). Konsentrasi ammonia dan nitrat dari dua periode pengamatan dalam satu wilayah Pantai Maruni secara konsisten menunjukkan hasil yang melebihi nilai ambang batas baku mutu lingkungan, sedangkan ortofosfat pada semua titik sampling masih dibawah nilai ambang batas baku mutu lingkungan sesuai Keputusan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup No. 51 Tahun 2004 tentang Baku Mutu Air Laut. Status mutu kualitas air laut Pantai Maruni berdasarkan analisis Indeks…
On the impact of safety requirements, energy prices and investment costs in street lighting refurbishment design
2018
Abstract Street lighting is an indispensable feature for the night landscape of cities. It is important for road safety, users visual comfort, crime prevention and to augment the perceived personal safety. Realize and maintain an adequate street lighting service is very expensive for municipalities with significant impact on their budgets. For this reason, special attention should be paid to the design of new street lighting systems and to the refurbishment of existing ones, since many of them are inadequate. In light of this it is very important to implement street lighting designs that fulfil lighting requirements avoiding energy waste and light pollution and, at the same time, result eco…
La préservation de l'environnement nocturne : les enjeux d'une controverse sociotechnique
2013
This communication explains the birth of an environmental problem, light pollution, understood as a socio-technical controversy. Over forty years, in support of the actor-network approach, it traces the conditions of its emergence, transformation and dissemination to local, national and transnational levels, and through various professional disciplines. Schematically, "environmentalists" uphold a holistic approach of "nocturnité" and define artificial light as a pollutant. Facing them, the "technicist" defend a segmented approach and define artificial light as a nuisance. The implementation of this controversy on the political agenda leads to institutional decisions that grasp it with diffi…
Getting night lighting right taking account of nocturnal urban uses for better-lit cities
2018
Translated by Oliver Waine; International audience; Innovation in contemporary urban lighting has increasingly been driven by issues of sustainability. While environmental concerns focus attention on energy savings and reducing light pollution, taking account of how people use public spaces is important too, as artificial light can then be adjusted to actual needs. Following the pioneering work of Roger Narboni and Luc Gwiazdzinski, Samuel Challéat and Dany Lapostolle make the case for dedicated nocturnal city planning.
