4. The expectations of the town councillors
Getting
a scientific territory diagnosis for their planning documents
Developing
the capability of the community to project itself into the future :
Involving the community in a participatory approach to understand the issues
for the territory and build a shared vision of urban development by 2030
5.
6. Methodological proposal
•
Proposing a simple diagram of applied prospective to anchor a prospective
attitude in the community
•
Implementation of the method to analyze the spatial dynamics of structural
geography in the workshops
•
Using spatial representations and heuristic cards as tools for expert and lay
knowledge mediation.
7. Workshop 3: Transfer of the structural geography assumptions
Every territory consists in spaces in tension for the location of activities and mobility of
people
Every territory is marked by dynamics of urbanity and rurality which influence the way it
can be transformed: indicators of rurality strengthen tradition, urbanity
indicators promote innovation
The dynamics of rurality and urbanity are influenced by the cultural perception of
landscapes converted into uses of the territory, property rules and local governance
Three types of landscape influence the occupation and development of the territory:
aesthetic landscapes (escape spaces), utilities (functional spaces) and coexistence (mixed
spaces)
8. Workshop 3 :
Locating and drawing the typology of spaces
Positioning the projects in progress to evaluate space coherence

11. Workshop 3: Transfer of the structural geography assumptions
Rurality and urbanity markers
Rurality markers
The utilitarian perception of the landscapes is
dominating
Importance of monofunctional spaces
( production-settlement)
Few aesthetic landscapes are enhanced
Few escape spaces (attractive)
Coexistence spaces for mixed use under the influence of
utilitarian spaces
Sedentary populations because of economic activity
or affordable accomodation
A vulnerable and hardly diversified economy
A rather homogeneous population
A little replacement of the populations
Little property value
« A territory where you have to be »
A territory of tradition which can hardly be transformed
unless you act on the way utilitarian spaces are
perceived
Urbanity markers
Value of aesthetic landscapes (natural and
patrimony)
Importance of the escape spaces (attractive)
Importance of the multi-functional coexistence spaces
under influence of the valued aesthetic spaces
Controled utilitarian spaces
Sedentary populations motivate by the environment
A diversified economy in transformation
Population turnover( motivated nomads)
An increasing property value
« A territory where you want to be »
An innovative territory with a good capability of
transformation
12. Workshop 3: Stage 4
Looking for urbanity and rurality signs to complete the rurbanity
pattern
16. In conclusion….
« They didn’t know that it was impossible then they do it »
Marc Twain (1835-1910)
The IT transfer:
A training and a methodical progression to become an actor of the community:
•
The appropriation of the prospective process
•
The acquisition of concepts and a method of analysis of complexity
•
A visual trace of the work
A bilateral valorization of work
The researcher, an actor of the transformation
17. Institutional empowerment?
A question to the leader of the town of Hawkesbury
« In my opinion lines have already begun to move just by the fact of this exercise. The future
is the guarantor of the effort that was put by us people in this document.
People have asked a popular follow-up that will be included in the application procedure.
So now the lines will move if it is shown that management and the Board are committed
to make the living document on an annual basis. »
René Berthiaume, mayor of Hawkesbury
