Consensus building for sustainability in the wider countryside

Objective

To analyze the effectiveness of new participative processes for regional management (town and country planning) in order to support sustainable development of rural areas.

OBJECTIVES:
To analyze the effectiveness of new participative processes for regional management (town and country planning) in order to support sustainable development of rural areas.
DESCRIPTION:
The evolution of environmental problems and policies requires institutional adaptations and innovations in the structures and management methods of local and regional bodies. Wider countryside management arises from the need to ensure that conservation is no longer restricted to the protected areas and from the multiple protection zoning (water, landscape, grounds, etc) superposed in rural areas. The project will compare several cases of new forms of integrating policies and zoning in the management of rural areas where negotiations between the opposing interests is privileged. The aim is to build management settings that are sustainable because they are founded on the cooperation between the actors; they often combine top-down and bottom-up approaches.
The project uses the concepts and methods derived from the sociology of technical innovation and aims to analyse and evaluate:
i) the representation processes of the different environmental interests (translation);
ii) the integration processes of the scientific concepts and methodologies and the administrative procedures;
iii) the processes of negotiation between the actors;
iv) the effectiveness and the efficiency of these new procedures;
v) their durability, i.e. the possibility of achieving stability in management procedures.
This comparative approach will make it possible to simultaneously assess national and local experiences and to formulate conclusions and proposals with regard to the institutional developments required to support sustainable development of rural areas.
