e Vocabulaire du discours touristique est élaboré sur la base des attributs des dictionnaires usuel et encyclopédique. Il vise à renforcer une sémantique nécessaire à l’observation d’une réalité touristique faite d’une dualité dimensionnelle (imaginaire anthropologique/sociologique et activité économique/managériale), d’une perception binaire du f...
Longtemps considérés comme une annexe hivernale ou, selon l’expression même de Coubertin, un prélude aux « vrais Jeux », les Jeux olympiques d’hiver ont reçu beaucoup moins d’attention que les Jeux d’été sous prétexte qu’ils attiraient moins d’athlètes, moins de spectateurs et que la compétition réelle ne concernait que quelques pays. Avec l’attein...

The ASEAN in Search of a Regional Identity
ASEAN groups together disparate states and populations. The level of diversity means that forming a common identity has been a challenge, which is made even more difficult because ASEAN is often regarded as an elitist organization whose activities hardly benefit the middle and lower classes. However, leade...

À la lumière des deux études de cas présentées, les activités écotouristiques n’ont pas permis de freiner l’expansion des cultures du palmier...
Présentation effectuée dans le cadre du colloque International de Ben Tre, Vietnam, organisé par l'Université van Lang en avril 2015
In the context of climate change and sea level rise, several countries find themselves in a very difficult situation, because of the extent of their coastal zones. This is the case for Vietnam, where most of the 3,200 km of coasts are characterized by a very low elevation, thus very sensitive to sea level rise and storm surges. While initially prot...
The Mekong is one of the greatest transnational rivers in Asia and is an important resource shared between six countries - China, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. The Mekong river basin faces today a number of economic, political and environmental challenges, especially as far as management of its huge hydropower potential is concerned....
Background: Outdoor noise is a source of annoyance and health problems in cities worldwide. Objective: We developed a land-use regression using a GAM Model to estimate the spatial variation of noise levels in Montreal. Methods: Noise levels were measured over a two week period during the summer of 2010 at 87 sites and during the winter of 2011 at 6...
Turbulences » sud-est asiatiques é t u d e Cette étude quadrimestrielle s'attarde sur des phénomènes transnationaux qui risquent a priori de déstabiliser ou fragiliser l'Asie du Sud-est, à moins qu'ils soient, dans un second temps, facteurs de rebond étatique ou régionaliste : déforestation, trafic de drogue, mouvements de réfugiés ; notons qu'il n...
Since the seventies the People’s Republic of China has undergone an impressive and successful effort of industrialization and economic development. While millions of Chinese were getting rid of extreme poverty and while the country was becoming the world’s second largest economic power, this development came at a cost: natural resources have been i...

The South China Sea is located in a crucial strategic and diplomatic position for bordering southeast asian countries, as well as for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan. Historical controversies have opposed the PRC and several other countries, such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia, and even if most territorial claims are based...
To sustain its economic and industrial growth, China has to get onto a more sustainable development path, while at the same time meeting public expectations of improved living standards and employment . Stable national socioeconomic development is a key source of legitimacy for the Chinese government and for the Party. To achieve this goal, China w...
La Mer de Chine méridionale, futur terrain de confrontation entre Chine et États-Unis ? Lorsqu'on évoque les contentieux territoriaux en Mer de Chine Méridionale, on fait avant tout référence aux tensions régulièrement ravivées entre la Chine et le Vietnam. Entre ces deux ennemis héréditaires en effet, les désaccords sont nombreux et anciens et le...
Présentation effectuée lors du Colloque international Tourisme et Communautés. 26 au 28 oct. Mui Ne (prov. de Binh Thuan) Vietnam.
Flood risk management is becoming an issue that is both relevant and sensitive. Even though no one argues about the need for flood risk management, the practices used are often challenged and subject to controversy. This is particularly the case in the Red River Delta, in Vietnam. Flood risks are very important in the area and so they have been for...
Rapport d'expertise. UQAM-CNRS, Paris, 2 volumes, 64 p. et 188 p.
In this paper we initially present a critical review of a range of ethnological maps produced over the last 130 years for
highland northern Vietnam. In particular we illustrate the many difficulties faced when trying to represent mosaics of ethnic
highland minority groups on two dimensional maps. Such historical maps included no attempts to bring t...
Le dramatique et spectaculaire recul que subit depuis un demi-siecle la foret tropicale a fait et continue a faire l’objet de maintes etudes, tant a l’echelle planetaire qu’aux echelles regionale ou nationale. Ce qu'on designait il y a a peine quelques decennies sous le nom d’Enfer Vert, est devenu le poumon vert de la planete, apparaissant de plus...
This research note offers a brief summary of recent cartographic work in the province of Lao Cai in northern Vietnam, with a specific focus on the districts of Sa Pa and Bac Ha. By providing a representation of topography in digital format, which enables a connection between demographic and physical variables, the long term aim is to illustrate the...
In the context of Southeast Asia, a region of the world where agricultural expansion is particularly dynamic, Vietnam stands out almost as a model. Strongly linked to the country's history, the nearly permanent advance of the agricultural frontier has even been accelerated after the 1975 reunification. Since then, land pioneering has been concentra...
RÉSUMÉ
Le régime nival d'un plateau de pergélisol situé le long du rivage du détroit de Manitounuk, au Québec subarctique, a été étudié en détail pendant plusieurs hivers consécutifs. Ce régime nival dépend surtout du régime éolien, lequel détermine le patron d'accumulation de la neige en conjonction avec les conditions de surface, notamment le rel...
The snow cover regime over a permafrost plateau located along the shore of the Manitounuk Strait was monitored in detail for several winters. The pattern of snow accumulation and distribution depends essentially upon wind direction and speed, in conjunction with surface conditions, particularly topography and vegetation cover. A snow accumulation p...
