Social Constructs of the Living Environment through Nature Sports Practice’s Locations and Attitude of Public Authorities towards Peri-Urban Natures
Résumé
The aim of this research is to understand how the living environment is both constructed through nature sports practice’s locations and attitude of public authorities towards peri-urban natures. The scale’s observation is the Seine’s estuary (1.5 million inhabitants), considered both as an ecosystem and as a system of cities. Results show that the logics of use refers to contrasting social roots, marks ecological inequalities and generates strong territorial appropriations and several typical experiences (secretly deviant, protester, submitted, established). Playgrounds or spots, far from always being consensual, are sometimes tolerated, sometimes obtained with great struggle, when they are not purely and simply poached. These experiences are social constructs as territorial mediations and can be explained by the relationships they maintain with the continuous process of development of the Seine estuary. Territories and the mediations they organize are both and just as much the product of uses as of public development policies. It is therefore necessary to examine both the points of view of the inhabitants and those of the technical or political personnel who represent and lead them. The synthetic re-presentation and discussion of results in the two stages of the discussion are formalized by two typologies that re-inscribe nature sports leisure in the territorial dynamics that shape them and that they structure in return.
