Les études hédoniques soutiennent-elles une valeur verte élevée dans le bâtiment ? Une réponse par la méta-analyse
2018
International audience; La place majeure occupée par le secteur du bâtiment dans la consommation d'énergie (40%) et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (1/3 des émissions) explique le développement du débat scientifique axé sur la réduction de l'impact environnemental du bâtit et sur ses leviers. Ces dernières années ont notamment vu croitre une littérature considérable relative à la disposition à payer du public pour les bâtiments « verts » labélisés par des écolabels, cette « valeur verte » étant estimée dans la grande majorité des études via des modèles hédoniques. Dans cet article, nous proposons d'offrir une synthèse de ces résultats dans le cadre d'une méta-analyse portant sur plus …
Changing forest stakeholders’ perception of ecosystem services with linguistic nudging
2019
This paper explores whether the perceptions of forest owners and professionals could be nudged towards more sustainable management practices by adjusting a policy text's metaphorical content. Recent research has demonstrated a link between information interventions and preference change, but there is a need to further explore individuals' reactions to information on forest-based ecosystem services and to link these to the design of policy instruments. We contribute to narrowing this gap by nudging the content of a policy text comparing rotation forest management (RFM) and continuous cover forestry (CCF), and exposing it to forest stakeholders. The research is carried out in Finland, the so-…
¿Quién decide qué y cómo? el conflicto en torno a la participación ciudadana en el contexto del desarrollo de la iniciativa urbana: Cuenca-San Antón …
2018
This article describes the main results of an ethnographic study on citizen participation carried out in the context of the development of the Urban Initiative (2007-2015): Cuenca-Barrio de San Antón. Managed by the City Council of Cuenca and financed by the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Government of Spain The results of the research show how in the context of the application of neoliberal policies, citizen participation becomes the trigger for new conflicts between institutions and citizens. In this sense, it is worth noting how, in practice, institutions in their capacity as experts and not willing to dis-empower themselves, …
Scales of participation and multi-scalar citizenship in EU participatory governance
2020
The EU still has a democratic deficit and its legitimacy is strongly questioned. This reveals the importance of citizenship and participation in the context of the challenges the EU faces today. The article contributes to the current discussions on the shifting frameworks of participation and citizenship through empirical research into the EU’s participatory governance. It asks how participation is framed in terms of scale and how these scalar framings are used to formulate citizenship in selected projects funded by the EU programmes on citizenship and culture. This microlevel analysis yields new insights into the politics of scale in the EU’s multilevel participatory governance. Frame anal…
The discursive construction of an active rural community
2016
In this article, I will study active rural communities, how they are constructed in the speech of local people involved in community development practices. Over the past twenty years, community-led development practices have been a new paradigm for the rural development in Finland, which has been reflected as increasing number of village associations. I will analyse the discursive construction of the active community by interviewing all the present and previous leaders of three active village associations in the province of Central Finland. Active rural communities are constructed through village associations, by their local activities and self-consciousness as active communities. In the lo…
Love, Gender and Class in the Nationalist Project of Emilia Pardo Bazán: An Unsentimental Story
2022
Este texto ilustra cómo los ejes de tradición y modernidad, nación y región, Norte y Sur, y clase y género se entrecruzan en cada contexto específico en relación con diversos proyectos políticos y nacionales. La autora analiza el caso de la gran novelista y feminista española Emilia Pardo Bazán y los significados que encierran sus infructuosos intentos de ser reconocida como "escritora nacional". En la discusión sobre el lugar que debía ocupar en el canon español o en el debate que mantuvo con Manuel Murguía sobre las diferencias que la separaban de la otra gran escritora gallega de la época, Rosalía de Castro, lo que se discutía en última instancia eran cuestiones de gran importancia como …
Anthropogenic Influences in Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Mediterranean Forest Landscapes in Sicily
2016
This paper analyzes and quantifies the land use/land cover changes of the main forest and semi-natural landscape types in Sicily between 1955 and 2012. We analyzed seven representative forest and shrubland landscapes in Sicily. These study areas were chosen for their importance in the Sicilian forest panorama. We carried out a diachronic survey on historical and current aerial photos; all the aerial images used to survey the land use/land cover changes were digitalized and georeferenced in the UTM WGS84 system. In order to classify land use, the Regional Forest Inventory 2010 legend was adopted for the more recent images, and the CORINE Land Cover III level used for the older, lower resolut…
Modelli ed evoulzione delle politiche
2008
Questo contributo propone alcune riflessioni utili all’inquadramento ed alla valutazione delle politiche a sostegno dell’innovazione. L’attenzione viene posta, in particolare, sull’evoluzione dello scenario nel quale opera l’impresa innovativa, sul ruolo di alcune tipologie di agglomerazioni emerse in questo nuovo scenario, quali le reti per l’innovazione ed i distretti tecnologici, sui sistemi territoriali innovativi nei quali i processi istituzionali hanno un ruolo sempre più importante, come nel caso dei sistemi d’innovazione nazionale e regionale, ed infine sulla questione dell’identificazione e della misurazione dei fattori chiave dell’innovazione utili per una valutazione delle politi…
On the trail of local welfare innovations in rural Finland
2019
Final Draft In Finland, the rural areas have been most affected by the developments threatening the survival of the welfare state as well as by conflicting efforts to save it. However, there are rural communities that have—as a response to the mainstream policy emphasizing economic efficiency and individual responsibility—developed innovative solutions to secure their welfare. Based on a case study focusing on two of such communities, these local welfare innovations are a result from a combination of external causes and local resources including the sense of community and a diverse enough community structure. The authors argue that in the context of welfare policy, the promotion of local we…
Delimitación de áreas rurales y urbanas a nivel local: Demografía, coberturas del suelo y accesibilidad
2016
El presente informe tiene como propósito establecer una tipología de los espacios rurales/urbanos españoles más completa y detallada que la que puede obtenerse haciendo uso de los criterios tradicionales, que han otorgado una importancia decisiva a la densidad demográfica como dimensión diferenciadora. Utilizando técnicas derivadas de los sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) y en consonancia con la literatura europea reciente, se defiende la necesidad de integrar al menos otras dos dimensiones: la intensidad de la intervención humana sobre el territorio —medida por el tipo de cobertura del suelo prevaleciente— y el grado de accesibilidad desde los municipios rurales a las ciudades. El r…
