This article examines the scope of temporary urbanism projects regarding the socio-ecological transition. This question is approached from the trajectories in transition of actors of third places located in the Greater Paris Metropolis. The socio-anthropological research reveals a variety of meanings : from the place as an object of a transitional...
ABSTRACT The mode of governance of the temporary occupation of urban wastelands is close to a system of decentra-lised self-organisation. Although it often involves a collaborative approach between the various stakeholders (owners, local authorities, associations and inhabitants), the management of the site is nevertheless subject to phases of tens...
Urban sprawl is one of the greatest global changes with major negative impacts on biodiversity. Recent policies have acknowledged the value of urban green areas in counterbalancing such impacts. However, these policies are largely focused on public green areas, ignoring the role and potential of private green areas for urban ecological value. This...
Urban sprawl is one of the greatest global changes with major negative impacts on biodiversity and human well-being. Recent policies have acknowledged the value of urban green areas in counterbalancing such impacts. These policies aim to increase the ecological value of green areas, making cities more permeable to natural populations. However, they...
This study examines individual commitment to biodiversity during adulthood. We studied the interrelations between everyday experiences of nature, knowledge about biodiversity, connectedness with nature, and implementation of specific pro-biodiversity practices, through a survey covering 473 adults in Paris surroundings (France). More specifically,...
Les jardins de l’Hevsel, aux portes de la cité de Diyarbakır, accueillent une petite agriculture maraîchère destinée au marché local. Les bienfaits de l’agriculture en ville sont habituellement reconnus au niveau paysager, social, économique et environnemental dans les principales études sur les villes contemporaines. Or, la croissance de la ville...
As part of the current wave of environmental awareness, inhabitants in the heart of the Paris agglomeration are increasingly being made aware of pro-biodiversity gardening techniques. But can certain practices such as keeping spontaneous vegetation in one’s garden be reconciled with the type of relationship inhabitants have with—and more specifical...
La géographie, en abordant conjointement les espèces et leurs milieux, représente une passerelle féconde entre les sciences humaines et sociales et les sciences de la nature pour traiter du partage de territoire entre humains et non-humains, dont l'Animal est un représentant au caractère heuristique particulièrement marqué. Pour saisir les conditio...
Prenant acte du développement récent d’un fort discours aménagiste sur les espaces de franges urbaines, cet article propose une méthodologie pour qualifier ces paysages d’entre-deux à partir de deux terrains franciliens. Celle-ci combine des critères de forme, d’accessibilité, d’équipement et d’inter-visibilité renseignés à partir de données cartog...
With the development of worldwide trade of exotic pets, cities have become key entry points for the increasing introductions of non-native animals. While many studies show the negative impacts of these introductions, few focus on the appreciation of these species by the city-dwellers. With the arrival of the Rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri...
Dealing jointly with species and their environments, geography serves as a fertile bridge between the human and social sciences and the natural sciences. It allows study of areas shared between humans and non-humans, within which the animal is a particularly strong heuristic example. To understand conditions and ways in which areas are shared betwe...
Final report from the post-doc project: "Coupling ecological and geographical approaches to address biodiversity conservation in a context of urbanization planning in Seine-et-Marne (France)"
For several decades, the sprawling of urbanisation has resulted in the loss of natural habitats and in landscape fragmentation and thus represents one of the main causes of the erosion of biodiversity. Green spaces in urban areas help maintain ecological connectivity and provide ecosystem services to citizens. The impact of urban green spaces on th...
Background/Question/Methods
The area dedicated to business activity increased by 42 % during the last 30 years in the Île-de-France (IdF) region (France). In urban and suburban zones, the green spaces at business sites can represent large surfaces : in IdF, they cover 8 700 ha i.e. 8 % of the total urban green spaces. Given their importance, they...
Comment quantifier la contribution des espaces verts d'entreprises aux connectivités locales? Une approche à partir de la théorie des graphes paysagers nous donne des éléments de réponse.
Public involvement is one of the keys to achieving biodiversity conservation goals. Increasing public involvement in conservation activities requires investigation into what makes people more aware of nature, especially in an ordinary and local context, in their everyday lives. Among the initiatives developed to increase the public's awareness of c...
Cet ouvrage sur les indicateurs écologiques et socio-économiques de biodiversité forestière est le fruit d'une démarche collective menée pour et avec les acteurs de la gestion durable des forêts que sont les représentants des mondes scientifique, institutionnel, professionnel et associatif. Animée par le Gip Ecofor avec le soutien des ministères en...
Urban conservation education programs aim to increase knowledge and awareness towards biodiversity and to change attitudes and behaviour towards the environment. However, to date, few urban conservation education studies have evaluated to what extent these programs have managed to achieve their goals. In this study, we experimentally explored the i...

Unfortunately, it is common to oppose nature and cities. This oversimplification gets in the way of acquiring
knowledge about the conditions necessary for the conservation of biodiversity in anthropic environments. The
objective of this paper is to go beyond the crude opposition between city and nature and highlight the
complexity of the relationsh...

En Île-de-France, la proximité urbaine joue une forte influence sur les campagnes
environnantes, diversifiant les demandes des habitants et des institutions à l’égard des espaces
ruraux. Des initiatives, publiques ou privées, se mettent en place pour construire des scènes de
gouvernance qui intègreraient la profession agricole à la gestio...
In Ile de France, the French region centred on Paris, the country side is highly influenced by the neighbouring urban setting and the demands of its inhabitants, to say nothing of institutions. In order to better inv olv e farmers into the management of their areas at the local scale, sev eral new collective schemes - issued from both public and pr...
Une étude comparative France-Espagne des relations entre érosion, paysage et développement durable a associé des protocoles de mesure et de régionalisation de l'érosion et des enquêtes auprès des acteurs locaux. En Catalogne (matrice forestière), les chemins produisent beaucoup de sédiments ; dans les des Alpes du Sud (paysage en mosaïque), ce sont...
The “civil society”, this “new” actor of spatial planning
Since the past two decades, country planning and management have put in question “the civil society”. This last one appears as a legitimate and needed component to ensure good governance of territories and public affairs. This article aims to assess this new orientation of both arguments and...

For the last decade, governance issues become of a growing interest for local actors which seek to gather stakeholders around sustainable development actions. Likewise researchers try to understand why and how local actors move from hierarchical modes of co-ordination to a distributed and more participating ones. The shift is not so obvious and inv...
In France and French-speaking countries, the notion of governance is fashionable. It appears in discourse by the actors involved in managing collective affairs. It is also used by the various fields of science that analyse the management modes of local systems. A consensus seems to have formed around this notion. There are, however, some authors wh...
The Water Framework Directive requires Public Participation in River Basin Management (RBM), including previously excluded constituencies besides water experts and policy makers. In this context, the HarmoniCOP project studies ways to improve PP based on the concept of Social Learning (SL). SL refers to the growing capacity of a social network to d...
The users and stakeholders of rural areas have often different knowledge and expectations about these spaces. To plan shared goals, it is important to build a common representation of the areas in concern. We observed several meetings between farmers and non-farmers aiming to build a common cognitive framework of collective management of these rura...
Concern for nature has now been established in our Western societies. Nature is valorized inasmuch as it embodies a set of positive values, and most of us define our actions or claims in relationship with nature. We assert our will to preserve it and to develop it in our best interests without forgetting the interests of nature itself. However, as...
This debate originates in a symposium on interdisciplinarity which gathered a group of doctoral students in the spring of 1999. Their goal was not to define a theoretical approach to the subject, but rather to wonder how geography and sociology, both essential to the creation of the Ladyss, could be drawn together so as to put an end to the mere ju...
The authors base their reflection on the common assumption that the growing importance of the “living issue” in post-industrial societies compels them to focus their investigation on: 1) the point of view of the resident, from which they must try to define the “cultures of nature”, the representations of the value of the place and the categories th...

Ce projet, financé par le département de Seine-et-Marne, a été mené en partenariat avec le Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, le Conservatoire botanique national du Bassin parisien, le LADYSS, et onze associations naturalistes, a abouti à la constitution d’une base de données riche de plusieurs centaines de milliers d’observations et à une analyse scientifique fine de la biodiversité. Outre les articles scientifiques publiés, cette connaissance est valorisée sous la forme d’une collection de quatre volumes : l’Atlas des milieux naturels et les continuités écologiques (2013) fait suite à l’Atlas de la flore sauvage de Seine-et-Marne (2010) et à la Faune sauvage de Seine-et-Marne (2012), Biodiversité et Société (2015).
