Les conflits d'usage du cadre de vie dans les espaces ruraux et la decision publique locale: Elements pour une analyse economique. (Land-Use Conflicts about Living Environment in Rural Area and Local Public Choice: Elements for an Economic Analysis.

摘要

Land-use conflicts reveal the contemporary evolution of rural areas, and specifically the rise of the rural living environment and its confrontation with the other functions of the countryside. They are interesting to understand the situations where local public choice cannot satisfy everyone when local authorities organize common resource uses. This paper provides a framework of these conflicts based on the two concepts of technological and political externalities. This framework is implemented in an empirical study, focusing on a French administrative division called Puy-de-Dome: one sourcing from a local daily newspaper, and the other one from the administrative court. Our research showed i) the diversity of land-use conflicts concerning the rural living environment, ii) the role of local authorities in a large part of conflicts, due to their technological or political negative external effects iii) the way people speak out to influence local public decision, rather than seeking monetary compensation or exit ways.
