Involving people in the building up of smart and sustainable cities: How to influence commuters’ behaviors through a mobile app game
2018
Abstract Usually, mobility policies assessed by local institutions tend to intervene on the side of the urban transport networks, by designing new and expensive infrastructures, whereas only a few attention is paid to the possible positive effects induced by proper mobility behaviors of people. On purpose, Smartphone technologies and platforms are rapidly becoming effective tools for involving citizens in environmental conscious mobility habits. By means of an empirical application to a group of university students, that daily commute for reaching their departments, the effectiveness of a mobile app game in pursuing commuters to modify their mobility behaviors is here checked. The game rewa…

Romania and the Big Challenge of Implementing the Europe 2020 Strategy
2017
Abstract The evolution and evolvement of the Europe 2020 strategy in each country are subjects, which should interest all European citizens. The investigation on this subject stems from two issues: firstly, the importance of knowing the direction in which Europe is going in the future, and, secondly the wish to assess whether this is the right direction. Unfortunately, due to several possible obstacles, such as level of development, not all countries have the ability to achieve performance in all fields. Romania, just like many other countries, is one example. Being one of the least developed countries, reaching success in implementing the Europe 2020 strategy is, for Romania, a difficult m…
Distances and proximities of care : Analysing emotio-spatial distances in informal caring
2018
This article analyses how emotio-spatial distances in informal caring are experienced by Finnish women who are employed and simultaneously caring for an ageing relative. The article's research questions are: how do spatial distance and proximity shape informal carers' emotional responses to caring? What kinds of emotion do spatial ‘distance’ or ‘proximity’ evoke in the interview accounts of informal carers? The article draws on theorisations regarding emotional geographies of care. The data consists of two focus group interviews with a total of 12 women who were combining employment with caring. The analysis shows that spatially proximate carers have difficulty detaching from caring, wherea…
Comment évaluer et mesurer la conflictualité liée aux usages de l'espace ? Eléments de méthode et de repérage
2010
Cet article a pour objet de présenter le travail réalisé depuis quelques années par une équipe pluridisciplinaire sur la question des conflits d’usage de l’espace et de révéler la méthodologie d’enquête et de collecte de données, ainsi que la structure de la base de données qui en est issue. Dans un premier temps nous procédons à une définition du champ des investigations, en donnant une définition de ces conflits, de leurs caractéristiques, des mobiles et des manifestations de la conflictualité, ainsi que des acteurs impliqués (I). Nous exposons ensuite notre méthode de repérage des conflits, fondée sur un diagnostic de zone et la mise en commun de différentes méthodes de recueil de donnée…
Lutter contre la pollution lumineuse
2019
La dégradation de l’obscurité sous l’effet des usages de lumière artificielle nocturne dans et aux abords des infrastructures humaines est appelée pollution lumineuse. Liée à l’urbanisation, cette pollution déborde les espaces urbains pour affecter les espaces ruraux et les aires protégées. La lutte contre la pollution lumineuse s’organise dans plusieurs pays, dans lesquels des territoires expérimentent des politiques environnementales de protection de l’obscurité. L’enjeu porte à la fois sur la préservation de la biodiversité et la transition énergétiques. En France, quelques territoires ruraux pionniers expérimentent des dispositifs intégrant ce double enjeu. Deux d’entre eux constituent …

Representing social intelligence: An agent-based modeling application
2017
Abstract Intelligent systems are composed of autonomous components that interact each others, with and through the environment, in order to give intelligent support for reaching specific objectives. In such kind of systems the environment is an active part of the system itself and provides input for runtime changing and adaptation. Modeling and representing systems like this is a hard task. In this paper we propose a biologically inspired approach that combined with the use of Agent-Based Modeling allows to create a means for analyzing emergent needs of the system at runtime and converting them into useful intelligent services to be provided. The experiment proposed for validating and illus…

Macro-regional Strategies, Cohesion Policy and Regional Cooperation in the European Union: Towards a Research Agenda
2018
Since 2009, the European Union has developed strategies for the Baltic Sea, Danube, Adriatic-Ionian and Alpine macro-regions. These macro-regional strategies represent a new tool of European Union governance that seeks to combine the community’s territorial cooperation and cohesion policy repertoire with intergovernmental ‘regional cooperation’ involving European Union member and partner countries. By establishing comprehensive governance architectures for cross-sectoral and trans-boundary policy coordination in areas such as transport infrastructure and environmental protection, macro-regional strategies seek to mobilise European Union member and non-member states alike in promoting and h…
